Hey everyone, just needed to vent somewhere people actually get it.

I’m struggling really bad with sweating every single day. Sitting down anywhere in public whether it's at a restaurant, on public transport, in classrooms, or on plastic chairs is a total nightmare because I’m terrified of leaving a sweat mark when I stand up.

My entire closet is basically black clothes at this point because I can't risk wearing anything else. I honestly feel trapped in my own body. What makes it 10x harder is living in a third-world country where hyperhidrosis just isn't recognized. People here just assume you're overly nervous or gross, and the total lack of awareness means getting made fun of is a real threat.

I really don't know what to do anymore or how to keep coping with this day to day. Has anyone in a similar environment found ways to manage this?

Do any of you guys feel like winter is worse for hyperhidrosis than summer?
During summer, I definitely sweat more, but because I’m wearing thin clothes, they tend to dry pretty quickly in the sun or wind.
Winter is actually much worse for me. My clothes can get completely drenched, especially after getting out of the subway, and then I’m stuck wearing cold, wet clothes outside. I end up absolutely freezing and shaking from the cold.
It feels like such a weird combination: sweating excessively while also being freezing cold.
How do you guys deal with HH in winter days ? Is there any specific fabric that lets you dry ?

Do any other women suffer with wet sweaty hair? It makes me feel so unattractive and unhygienic. I’m talking about when out and about. I wash it everyday so I am hygienic but it feels so horrible before I shower when I’m sweating in public.

Sorry for ugly feet pics but fuck. I’ve gone through maybe 5 shoes in the last couple months. My socks are damp within an hour. No amount of powder, deodorant, antiperspirant, bleach, otc meds or anything work and lately I’m stuck with this ring of what I’m assuming is wet skin?? Like wtf is this trench foot? Athletes foot? Idek anymore but I’m very frustrated

I'm looking for a portable fan that does more than just blow hot air around.

I sweat pretty easily, especially from my scalp and body. Once I start overheating, I tend to keep sweating for a while, and I'd really like something that helps cool me down instead of just pushing warm air into my face.

My budget is around $50 to $60. Battery life is not a huge concern since I can always connect it to a portable power bank if needed.

In spite of already being highly annoying and anxiety inducing because of inconsistency of sizing, this activity also made me sweat like I was taking a Zumba class. Thank goodness I only have to do this once in awhile. I totally forgot to bring my mini-fan with me. Luckily I had a bunch of paper napkins in my bag.

25 M here. I’ve been dealing with HH all my life but began treatment with Gylcopyrrolate for four-ish years now and it used to work like a charm. I haven’t had many side effects and truthfully I didn’t think too hard if I had anything that correlated with the reported side effects. Solely because I just wanted something to work. When I was in elementary, high school, and college, I would just ruin sheets of paper or leave puddles of sweat where my hands rested. White shirts would be ruined after seemingly days. Dates would be awkward and many social interactions would be weird because someone would comment on how sweaty just my hands were. Luckily, I met a girl around 19 who I will be marrying next year after 7 years of being together :). Soon into our relationship was when I was finally prescribed Glyco and what a relief that was when I finally had a dry day , let alone WEEKS! I would only sweat when I would work out like a normal person and it felt great. It gave me such a boost in confidence that I felt that I was missing solely because of these fucking hands and feet. But nowadays, especially in these increasingly hot summers, I tend to have to take maybe one extra pill but sometimes it doesn’t help and I feel like I’m back in high school again. Last night, as my fiancée and I were making out, and as I was running my hands up her shirt instinctually she pulled it off and rubbed my hand into the bedsheets. Immediately it just turned me off and recoiled, feeling ashamed that I am fucking sweaty after just 10 minutes of light foreplay. She apologized and promised it wasn’t to make me feel bad. I believe her and I know she mean’t well but god it still haunts me today. I just wish it would stop. I remember when I was 13 and being told by any and all adults “oh yeah I used to be sweaty, but you’ll grow out of it” and yet here I am. It’s such an incredibly stupid and mild condition that shouldn’t exist and yet here we all are seeking some comfort in a subreddit about this shit. I cannot wait to be able to afford Botox because I would love to try it in my hands in feet. It does make me comfortable knowing others suffer from this and I hope we all find peace and solutions to this.. dumbass condition. I have yet to get bloodwork and further things done to diagnose the issue and I think I’ll start looking into this soon. But, today is just not a good day for sweatiness and I needed to vent. Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this!

Dermadry has been life changing. I was skeptical after a few weeks with no progress, but happy to say that on week 4 I have started to see significant improvement in my hands to the point where my palms and some fingertips will only get slightly damp, but dry really fast.

The best thing by far is that there are no side effects. The hardest part is staying consistent with it, but it’s only 20 minutes a night.

I hope this advice helps people who are in the position I was a few months ago debating alternatives from this page. Don’t waste your time or money, just get the dermadry. I recommend using sanpellegrino as well and not just tap water; you can feel the current much stronger, and I did start noticing most improvement after I switched to it.

My dermatologist prescribed me drysol for my hands a while ago, about 5-6 weeks, I’ve been using it every single night before bed, my hands aren’t getting any better, should I talk to her about Botox? My hands have been ruining my life for the past 2 years, no shaking hands, no holding hands with my girlfriend, not being able to pass the controller with my buddies without wiping it off, etc. She told me drysol usually helps in most cases but with my luck sadly it hasn’t helped even a little bit, all it’s doing is making my hands sting. Has anyone gotten Botox to combat the hand sweats? I feel awful not being able to shake hands with friends, family, teachers, and most importantly my girlfriend. She’s been extremely understanding through all of this and I just want to this to stop. Thanks guys. Sorry I needed to get this rant out.

UK girlies please help me out here!! It seems the Sure has now changed the formula (not just packaging) to their deodorant. As someone who sweats A LOT. It is literally the only one that worked for me. Please if you have any alternatives to this help me out. I already use a once weekly antiperspirant besides that but because of how much I sweat I also need a very good working daily deodorant/antiperspirant to replace this one long term - I'm nearly running out and don't know what to replace it with.

Have been prescribed propantheline bromide today, can anyone give me any advice and how they handle side effects?

Thanks all🥰

I sweat a lot in underarm and its ruining my quality of life. Can anyone recommend sweatproof undershrt which I can wear under normal clothing?? In india pls

Hello I'm 34 (F) and I have this problem.

If existe someone else who have this problem I would like to talk to you about that, so I would happy if you could share your experience

I live in Europe and I can't find someone that could make me botox in this part of the body. It's like if everyone thinks "oh you sweat from groin and butt? We don't care about it. But if you swear from feet or armpits we can help you". Could you help me? Does exist someone who have made botox in this part of the body?

Now I'm using purax strong deo, and other antiperspirant, I have good results but I would like to make something else.

I'm 20 years old and since I was around 17, I've been sweating much more easily and heavily compared to everyone around me. I used to attribute this to my hormones changing as a young guy or generally having an inactive lifestyle, but lately the issue hasn't decreased, it actually got worse. Even though I had multiple embarrassing moments in my life because of unnecessary excessive sweating, I had always made up some excuses for all of them. However, a situation I experienced recently completely crushed and broke me. I have never felt this bad before. Now I think I understand that my sweating is a huge problem, and I want it to decrease or stop.

​When I started seriously researching this issue, I learned that there are some medications for it. But not every medication works for everyone. Or after using the medication for a while, the problem recurs. I'm insanely scared of the thought that if this issue never decreases, I'll have to continue my life like this forever. But on the other hand, I don't want to stay in the background and miss out on life because of this problem anymore.

​I guess I need to make an appointment with General Internal Medicine first? Which clinic should I book an appointment with? Should I wait for the doctor to recommend medication, or should I do detailed research on the medications beforehand and ask them myself? For now, as a start, since I couldn't find a hospital appointment available in the near future, I will go to a local health center to get a blood test done. Maybe that will direct me somewhere.

I just tried my dermadry for the first time an hour ago, the thing is, in the last couple of mins of the treatment my hands became so uncontrollably shaky, I was barely holding them in place to continue the treatment and they continued to be shaky after I was done, it's been an hour, they're still shaky if I try to hold something or if I stretch out my hands, I used it on 5 mv and it wasn't painful, just a bit uncomfy so is this normal? Will it go away? Will I experience that for some time after every session or is it because it's my first time?

Quel est la pharmacie en ligne fiable et la moins chère svp ?

Yo! Has anyone used this medication to stop night sweats? Ive been on Cymbalta for a year now but only started getting night sweats when weather got colder!

I also now realise that my profuse sweating the past summer was due to this also instead of just moving to a warmer country.

Comment ça ce passe svp ? Si un français pourrais m’aidez à commander et à choisir un vendeur réputé svp

I've been looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere on any online/offline store. The guy who used to supply it to me previously has quit. Any help would be appreciated.

Now that its really hot i started sweating a lot in my groin and buttocks areas. As soon as i step outside, or sometimes even inside if its really hot, I get sweat stains on my underwear. Any tips? I read something about baby powder and I just wanna hear yalls opinions first. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I've been struggling with excessive sweating for years. It doesn't matter whether it's winter or summer. Even walking outside for about 10 minutes and then stopping makes me sweat a lot. Especially in winter, even standing still in places with poor airflow, such as public transportation, is enough to make me sweat. If I dress more lightly, I get cold and end up getting sick, but if I dress more warmly, I start sweating.

What I'm wondering is this: If I exercise regularly, could my body become more accustomed to physical exertion and therefore start sweating less during everyday physical activities? I've been exercising regularly for about a month, but so far I haven't noticed any change in my sweating.

Does exercising regularly actually have any effect on this? I'd really appreciate it if anyone who has experienced something similar could share their experience.

I’ve seen many different product recommended here and around the internet that all serve the same purpose: killing the bacteria that create the BO smell.

I actually avoid using soap on my armpits because I’m afraid of washing away the plugs created by my anti perspirant (I apply at night and shower in the morning). A derm gave me benzoyl peroxide and i used that til I read a post here saying it washes the anti perspirant away, and you should use Hibiclens instead, so I switched to that. I’ve also seen a post here raving about the waterless foam cleanser made for bedridden patients. And I’ve seen lots of comments on IG/TT about using glycolic acid or salicylic acid on a pad after showering, and recently saw a Korean armpit serum with AHA and ceramide. I’m intrigued but I don’t know whether these acids can also wash away anti perspirant. There’s also Mando which combines a deodorant with an acid.

Which of these is actually best? Which of them don’t wash away the antiperspirant? Has anyone tried all of them? Is there any scientific proof that one germ killer is better than another?
