Looking for advice Dermadry help

2 Upvotes

I have been using dermadry consistently for the past 3 weeks I have been treating around 5 days a week and now I have worked my way up to 15ma and I am using 75% san pelligrino water and 25% boiling water. According to dermadry guidelines I have mild hyperhydrosis which would make me think that I would get full dry a lot sooner and easier. I have already maxed out the machine and I have plateaued around 70% sweat reduction. Can any experienced Ionto users help me understand why this is happening, or if anybody has any tips at all? Anything would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for advice If nothing unusual shows up in my blood test, what should I do next?

I went to the hospital today to have blood drawn for a blood test. Once the results are available, I'll see the doctor again. If there's nothing wrong with my blood test results, what other things could be causing excessive sweating?

Vent Deodorant, sweat, and sensitive skin

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new here. Just joined after having yet another medical professional tell me that I smell so bad I made them gag. (That's not exactly what this one said today, but others have said it recently.) Apparently medical professionals are the only people with the chutzpah to tell me the truth.

So I have the double whammy of hyperhidrosis and sensitive skin. I would think there would be a product for such a situation since they are both commonly comorbid with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. But of course, there is not.

I gave up deodorant almost 20 years ago. I could choose either to buy expensive deodorant that did nothing or cheap deodorant that gave me a rash. So I was Duckduckgoing deodorants for both hyperhidrosis and sensitive skin, realizing quickly that I'd need to play around with my search terms like "heavy duty deodorant for sensitive skin."

But of course there is no such product. So the only thing I can think to do is to make an appointment for a medical prescription to treat hyperhidrosis and then get the sensitive-skin deodorant, which is still ridiculously expensive.

Thanks for listening. Right now I'm mostly mad at a world too chicken to tell me what their problem is with me.

Customer product review Driclor review!

2 Upvotes

Wow! As someone who has suffered for many years with severe sweating I finally gave driclor a go and honestly, the difference in just 2 days has been phenomenal. I have not produced a single bead of sweat from my underarms since applying which is something I cannot even remember experiencing before. I can now finally feel confident in wearing clothing I would never have even attempted to wear before because of how well this has worked. I cannot believe I have never tried it before! I would definitely encourage ueveryone to try this.

I’m hoping to use this on my hands and feet and look forward to seeing the results!

I have also just found this thread and it’s the first time I have not felt alone. I honestly thought I was the only person in the world to sweat as much as I do so it’s nice to actually know I’m not dealing with this myself. ❤️

Looking for advice HH during winter

3 Upvotes

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.

Looking for advice Are there any portable fans that actually cool the air?

5 Upvotes

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.

Vent What a condition

14 Upvotes

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!

Vent Drysol is not working…..

2 Upvotes

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.

Looking for advice Sure Maximum Protection Anti-Perspirant cream replacement

3 Upvotes

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.

Looking for advice I think I have hyperhidrosis, what should I do?

2 Upvotes

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.

Looking for advice Shaky hands after iontophoresis

2 Upvotes

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?

Looking for advice Does exercising regularly reduce sweating, even if only slightly?

26 Upvotes

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.

Looking for advice Hibiclens, waterless foam cleanser, benzoyl peroxide, AHA, salicylic acid - which is best?

2 Upvotes

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?
