Questions for people with hyperhidrosis? ?

Question

do you sweat all the time?

even at night?

i have hyperhidrosis but i dont know if it is from social anxiety or not what is a good way to tell besides seeing a doctor( i have been asking my parents to see a doctor forever but i dont think ti will happen)

Answer 1

Well I sometimes get sweaty hands and feet. They sell products to control sweat. They sell a product named drysol and Maxim. Here is a link for the one I purchased:

You can get it for about $15 dollars too.For sensitive skin use Maxim Sensitive which has a lower concentration of the active ingredient.

These products are made specifically for hyperhydrosis.

Answer 2

People who suffer with it sweat excessively no matter the season or situation. There are only 2 options... taking out the sweat glands (which really is not healthy) or Botox injections which are very expensive.

Try using a stronger antiperspirant first to see if that helps (Drysol is very strong). If it continues, see your doctor.

Answer 3

I also suffer from hyperhidrosis - the cause is unknown, so its probably not social anxiety. Go and see a doctor - if your parents wont let you, go alone.

However, I currently use Anhydrol Forte - its a strong anti-persperpant. You apply it at night, as often as you need to.

It really helped me, and I barely sweat at all now - even less that people without hyperhidrosis!

Answer 4

There is a prescription strength anti-persperant fir hyperhidrosis that is available behind the pharmacy counter without a prescription. Unfortunately I cannot recall the name of it, just ask the pharmacist and they will know.
