r/Hyperhidrosis

I was injected total 400 units or botox in palms and soles 10 days ago . Palms were 13 days ago and soles 10. I felt good but since last four days I'm having trouble swallowing food and water. Dry food is really hard to swallow I need to drink water to swallow bite. Its not painful I just have to push it down harder I guess. I don't have blurry vision or droopy eyes. I've been stressed to since last 20 days so maybe it could be stress? I'm seeking advice what it could be also injections not given by professional it was messy and without local anesthesia and it was really painful.

Hello, M19. I want to ask what to do about my hyperhidrosis and BO. I just got in to see a dermatologist, and they told me to use two products: an antiperspirant/antibiotic solution (for three months) and mupirocin cream (for two weeks). They work really well, but only for 4-6 hours, and then I continue to sweat and smell bad :((. I cannot afford another consultation with a dermatologist because of financial problems. What should I do to make the effects last longer than just 4-6 hours?

I just found out that scrubbing every day can introduce new bacteria. Should I continue scrubbing two to three times a week?

I always have this fear of shaking hands when my hands are sweaty (which is like 80% of the time). I try to avoid this as much as possible when I’m introducing myself. But if the other person has initiated, it would just be rude not to.

One time I had this situation with someone from upper management at my office, and I literally saw him wiping his hands with a napkin afterwards x_x

Nowadays I have started guessing when people around me will go in for a dap or a high five. Then, I’ll just go for a fist bump. This won’t work in a professional setting though.

Anyone feel me?

How do you cope with sweaty hands and feet in the morning without treatment ? Do you just ignore it? For me it’s weird I have to get up right away (I try to stay relaxed in bed if I can and have time, but can’t) & I immediately wash up, wash my hands brush my teeth my face all the normal things. Thennnn I have to leave my house and put socks and my shoes on. Like even if I have nothing to do??? I feel like I need to just get going with my day. Eventually throughout the day they calm down, but in the morning they are the worst. I tried showering every morning and it does help but my skin gets extremely dry bc I shower at night so ya twice a day was a little much for my skin. Anyways just venting. (Btw I can’t do treatment due to pregnancy so just thuggin it out rn )

f22, diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (just incase there's a connection with my body odor). i think i have hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis (undiagnosed). i tried every deodorant and antiperspirant already. i take good care of my hygiene. i tried benzoyl peroxide, calamansi, baking powder, glycolic acid, everything and nothing works. i don't have the means to go to the doctor so i'm just depending on every advice i can get. so please do help. i appreciate every help i can get.

It’s not perfect but I definitely find these things help me deal with Hyperhidrosis.

Airism shirts - I buy these ‘airism’ under shirts from a store called Uniqlo. This has probably been the biggest help with dealing with sweat for me. They’re super thin shirts, and almost have like a fast dry characteristic to them. They don’t add on any extra heat from wearing them too (my body sweats no matter the temperature so I wasn’t even worried about this part anyway). It basically helps me keep the outer shirt nice and dry, so I look normal. It makes it so much more comfortable. Hate when a standard shirt gets wet and starts sticking to you, very hard for me to cool down once that starts happening. But this seems to fix it. I also wear them to bed, again doesn’t make me feel any warmer so it’s great, and it stops me waking up in a puddle of sweat through my bed.

But honestly, these are a game changer. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to not wearing these. They’re pretty cheap too, so a low risk investment to try out. I wished these existed when I was in high school. I’ll see if I can post a link. I have like 15 of them, and stand by it. My friend was telling another fellow sweater about the shirts I wear and he gave them a go and has seemed to have the same success from them, so figured I’d mention them here in case it helps anyone out.

The other thing is perspirex. I think we all know about this by now. The standard - apply at night before falling asleep. Overall, I find it very helpful. I’ll still sweat during high stress, or anxious moments but between those times for the most part they are quite dry, or mildly clammy.

Dermadry - I used this years ago, found it had a similar affect to Perspirex, in that it helped reduce my sweating a lot except in moments of stress, but I don’t think there’s anyway around this. So it is what it is. I have just bought another machine, so I’ll let you know how that goes.

I’m 19F, I took lamotrigine for about 4 months at a dose of 100 mg. I stopped taking it this September, and since then I have noticed excessive sweating specifically during the day. However, my family says that it has been going on for all 4 months. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this? Could this go away over time, once the effect of the medication wears off?
