Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

DrJohn, 3 months

Do yourself a favor and visit www.Sweathelp.org. That's the site of the independent foundation who does research and educates doctors, patients and the public about excessive sweating. Best to go to the source and to one that doesn't try to sell anything. Cheers!

I know of this problem, Have had it for 6 years. I have tried everything known to man. Can you believe it, my mother in law saw an advertisement for a product I had never heard of. It is call Mon Ray Antiperspirant. Knew it would not work, but it proved me wrong. I was changing my shirt three times a day, now I go all day without changing my shirt. I have been telling everyone I know. I contacted the company and asked why they did not advertise more. Look them up. www.monrayantiperspirant.com. Better yet, they even guaranteed it to work.

Excessive Sweating Problem, about 1 year

Hyperhidrosis is a fairly common disorder shared by millions across the world. By definition, Hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the head, face, hands, feet and armpits no matter the temperature or conditions. The sweating is erratic, unpredictable and uncontrollable. You do have some options. To stop the excessive sweating try: 1. Drysol Drysol is a prescription deodorant that works wonders for underarm, hand and foot sweating. Apply it to your hands, feet, armpits or anywhere else you sweat at night before bed. You only need to apply it once a day - it's not like regular deodorant. This stuff is Clinical Strenghth. Beware of irritation with Drysol. You may have to take a day or two off from this treatment if your skin gets too dry, sensative or red with a rash. 2. Drink more water to lower your body temperature. A lot of people are confused by this solution. They think if they drink more water, it will give them that much more fluid to sweat out. This is totally incorrect. Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating. Of course now you'll need to worry about all those bathroom breaks. :) 3. Drink Green Tea or Sage Tea at night Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moister from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out. In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat. By the way, that odor is caused by bacteria that treats your sweat as a breeding ground. Gross! 4. Try Certain Dri (non-prescription deodorant) You can buy this one at most pharmacies. Certain dry is a little less abrasive than Drysol so you won't need to worry as much about irritation. It is however a little less strong. You'll want to gauge your level of Hyperhidrosis by first trying Certain Dri. If your sweating continues, upgrade to Drysol and that should do the trick. 5. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine Don't underestimate the power of your diet. Onions, Garlic, Curry, Coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits and see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating. Changing your diet will really cut out the spontaneous sweating from your daily lunch breaks. 6. Try Iontophoresis treatments. This is more of a phase 3 solution. Try the clinical deodorants and diet fixes first. However, there is a treatment called Iontophoresis where you place your hands and feet into bowls or plates. The plates are filled with mineral water. Connected to the plates is an Iontophoresis electromagnetic device. Gentle electic pulses are distributed through mineral water. The minerals bond and temporarily change the nature of your sweat pores to block the sweat. This treatment works well. You can learn about it through the Source link I've provided below. 7. Try a Sage Tea Soak There's something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is... a. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket b. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water c. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl d. Let the tea dissolve a bit. e. soak your hands or feet for 15 minutes. Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow. Don't just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you'll see great results. If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily. 8. ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery) If the sweating is bad enough, some people will opt towards ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery). This is, however, a LAST resort. I recommend you try everything else possible before opting towards surgery. You can speak with your Dermatologist to find out more.

The embarrassment of sweaty armpits can be sorted with Hyperhidrosis Vests from www.sweatguard.co.uk. I've had Hyperhidrosis for years and this is the only thing that has helped me. I always had massive sweat patches under my arms and down my sides. The Hyperhidrosis vests use sweat pads to stop any sweat from showing - they work.

Excessive sweating was the bain of my life until recently. My wardrobe was constantly filled with dark clothes to hide the awful marks that would appear regardless of my temperature. I use a prescription strenght antiperspirant called Perspi-guard which is very effective. You can buy it without prescription, online and in Superdrug.
