Facial Sweating
Hyperhidrosis can manifest itself in many forms, and excessive facial sweating is on of them. When this condition occurs it extends to more than just the face, also affecting the scalp and even the neck. When the scalp is affected by excessive sweating, the hair may look oily and dirty. Even though this condition is known as facial sweating, the negative effects are serious as far as the hair is concerned. Blow drying the hair may prove to be a difficult task.
The social problems this condition raises are similar to the ones of hand and foot excessive sweating. Facial hyperhidrosis appears in unexpected moments and doesn’t need to be triggered by factors like stress or emotional uncertainty or pressure.
The condition may manifest itself in the most embarrassing situations, while talking to people, or having a business lunch. With female patients this poses an even bigger obstacle, as they have a hard time putting on make up and maintaining it in good shape. Excessive sweating will dilate the skin pores and the result is that the makeup will run over their face, creating an unpleasant situation. Facial blushing is another condition that may appear in combination with the excessive facial sweating.
Medications are used successfully to cure facial hyperhidrosis. Robinul and Sympathectomy are the most successful in dealing with this condition, either separate or in combination with facial blushing.
I’m 30 years from 8 years ago I’m sweating a lot in my face this happens just one month after i have my son, I’m feel very worried i can’t go anywhere because everybody is looking at me i’m only one person that i sweat and i prefer to stay at home i need help my life is very sad I live in New York but I don’t have insurance that’s why I’m afraid to go to the doctor I don’t know if is expensive
thank you
I have always had a problem with hyperhidrosis. Mainly armpits and face. I have worked out everyday for 20 yrs. I check out physically fine at my medical exams. What bothers me about this condition is whenever I am in social situations and it is either warm in temperatures (in or outdoor) or if I start dancing. My head starts to sweat profusely.
The facial sweating gets in my eyes, wets my hair down and causes my makeup to run. I love to dance and I have opportunities to perform dance at a local talent agency. I just do not want to sweat when I increase my activity because it is a nuisance and embarrassing.
Could you please send some remedies or something helpful for this problem.
I have never got such an embarrassing situation like sweating uncontrollably only in the face at my interview, i know to them it was like this guy must be nervous but i was not though later on the sweating its self made me. the most annoying thing is trying to make what you know is abnormal to look normal because i knew this was coming since I’ve had the condition for the past 8 yrs. I don’t know how you can help me but am so tied of this!
I’m glad to know this facial sweating has a name. I am unable to wear make-up or have my hair permed. Right after I take a shower, I become so hot it’s impossible to dress since my clothes stick to me. My hair looks like I’ve had water poured on my head, and sweat absolutely runs down my face.
My husband’s aunt ask why I didn’t try wiping my face when I sweat so profusely. What’s the point, if I’m going to be covered in sweat before I can get my face wiped completely.
Several people have commented on the amount I sweat. Each year seems to be getting worse. I have become so sensitive to any heat, I absolutely freeze my husband and cat during the winters by keeping the central heat turned so low.
Since I now know what to call this condition, I can now discuss with my doctor how to treat it. Hurray!!!
I have been dealing with hyperhidrosis since about high school. It was was not so bad then, however it has become increasingly worse.
When I went to see my doctor, they just thought it was anxiety and gave me prescriptions for depression/anxiety. This worked at first and then the facial sweating just came back. The one drug that I have tried that works great is Xanax, however my doctor did not want to prescribe it for long-term use, and here I am back to the same old sweating every day! I only recently found out that it is hyperhidrosis that I have and not anxiety.
When I went in for a job interview last month, I actually had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom and rinse my face because I was sweating so much. HOW EMBARRASSING!!!
I’m going to try sage tea along with zinc supplements, as I have heard these may help.
I have excessive sweating of the face and hair. While I’m getting ready to go somewhere or even just to walk the dog my hair is soaking wet when I arrive back at the apartment. It also happens in the dead of winter. What can I get to releave this problem. My face also becomes red.
Okay, I’m 14 and I’m in high school. I live in Arizona and I have P.E., it starting to get hot and I sweat like crazy! It is so embarrassing, but I can’t do anything about it besides use my hair to hide it. But you can tell because my face is flushed and it runs down the sides. I only sweat when it gets hot or kind of hot! I hate it!
I don’t know what to do, I don’t have the money to buy any product or try anything. I’m the only person in my class that sweats like I just ran a marathon in the heat! I can’t even wear any make-up besides lip gloss, it also causes my face to be oily and it causes acne. I NEED HELP! I can’t ask my doctor about it till I try some things first.
Anyone know any cheap ways to help or prevent this, please??!!
i have really bad problem with my face and its the most EMBARRASSING condition that you could ever suffer! my face always sweats like some1 who was just exercising all day. in the class, i can’t be sitting with my friends. i have to go to the toilet every 10-15 minutes and rinse my face even if the weather is really COLD therefore i have to miss some of the lessons. if i go out with my mates may be for lunch or something, then i have to carry out a lots tissue with me to wipe it. and not just that my face also become soooooo RED, OILY and soo GREASY.I really hate it!
I went to see my doctor and she just said its not a big problem its just a part of my growing but that’s not TRUE… everybody is growing up and no1 have this oily face….but why only ME!?!
i really don’t know what to do. my doctor saying its normal when its abnormal so basically i have no choice but i just wish if somebody could help me. if you have any ideas, anything PLEASE HELP.
You don’t understand how embarrassed i am… so PLEASE and PLEASE HELP ME! thank YOU.

Tengo mucho tiempo de estar sudando de manera excesiva y esto es muy molesto para mi ya que en los trabajos en los que me desarrollo implican mucho ezfuerzo fisico, esto me molesta demaciado por que las personas que estan ami alrededorno sudan tanto como yo, y es muy molesto, por que aun sin mucha actividad el sudor no para por eso he dejado de aser muchas cosas que ami me gustan como sali a vailar, conocer mas gente, relacionarme con mis amistades en climas calurosos, ir ala playa, el no poder aser cosas para los demas normales es demaciado frustante
i, too, have hyperhidrosis. i am 18 and i think it started around the time i was 11 or 12. i sweat everywhere, from my head, to my face, to my armpits, hands, back, and legs. it’s really bad.
I’ve tried tons of antiperspirants and even the “clinical strength” ones. they all failed. i recently read about certain dri, which is a prescription strength antiperspirant without the necessity of a doctors prescription. for the past 2 nights, i have applied it to all the areas i have been sweating, including some to my face, and so far, it has helped GREATLY.
I am still trialing it because maybe the weather just hasn’t been hot or humid enough these past 2 days. i really hope it continues to work for me, because today, i did not sweat on my back or in my armpits at all. it felt great! my biggest problem is the facial sweating. so far, it’s under control, but i just hope that it stays that way.
I hope this helps.
I am 32 years old. Now that I am reading up on hyperhidrosis, it makes sense to me. I have never known why my face breaks out in sweats at the WORST possible moments. I can run into someone I know and talk to them and within minutes, my forehead is beading up and the sweat is running down my face. Or I can be in a meeting at work (all eyes focused on me) and I have to get up and excuse myself so I can go the bathroom and wipe my face (which does nothing to help anyway).
It is VERY noticeable and embarrassing and I can’t take much more of this!! I don’t think that I have always had this problem, I think it started in my late teenage years.
As with many others who left messages here, i suffer from profuse sweating from my scalp and face. I usually wake up in the morning, head drenched, pillow soaked, and very uncomfortable. It can be freezing cold and my head will be dripping sweat, and when i get out of the shower….forget it !!….i need to carry a handful of paper towels when i leave the house, because my head will be dripping wet for hours….it’s extremely embarrassing , people notice and ask if I’ve been running or in a hurry….PLEASE HELP !!!
I am a 28 year old female, and i have a major facial (forehead) sweating problem within seconds i get instantly heated in my face, and sweat is dripping, my hair is wet and then everything is a problem. I’m not sure if the birth control has anything to with it.
I need solutions!!!!!! i can’t wear bangs at all. Please Help!
Hi, I’ve suffered with excessive sweating of the face and scalp since my twenties, I’m now 43. Ok it has a name which in a small way does help as i no I’m not a total freak. The trouble is no one else dose. People stare , they make their own presumptions ie: your nervous, guilty for something or a drug addict etc…. But I’m so at the end of coping with this problem.
It controls everything that i do in my life, id love to be out there as I’ve so much to give, but I’ve had so many embarrassing situations id rather just stay in my house. Its affected me being involved in my kids lives . I stopped going to the baby center to have my kids weighed as you all sat on chairs facing each other new baby on your knee chatting away.
I would be that panicked as i sat there soaking wet with all the mothers sat looking thinking what the heck is up with her and at the time i didn’t no it was hyperhidrosis. I don’t feel like i have a quality of life and need some help !!!
Hello, I’m 52 years old and I sweat buckets for no reason. The slightest movement sends a river of sweat pouring down from my head and face. Yesterday I was on an air conditioned subway car. It was like a refrigerator and I was sweating like a melting stick of butter.
People look at me like I’m crazy. The sweat runs down my back and wets my underwear and everything else. If I sit down, I leave a puddle on the seat and the people are then really grossed out. When I go anywhere, I have to take a whole roll of paper towels with me.
No one can tell me why this happens. Not even my doctor.
Please, please help me.
For me I am not sure if this is the right diagnosis, but I hope it is. For me when my face sweats it burns and is painful. You know how your face gets when you have some hot sauce and you sweat and your pours burn? that is what happens to me. And it always happens out of the blue.
I also get dry sweats were my face has the feeling it sweating like after having the hot sauce, but I don’t sweat just feel like I am sweating and my facial pours open up. It really sucks. Anyone else deal with the same thing i am dealing with?
I’m 17 and I’ve been sweating buckets since I was about 13. its not pleasant, I find it hard to fully be myself as when I go out and dance I’m the only one dripping with sweat. I’ve tried prescribed antiperspirants but they haven’t helped and now my doctor is as clueless as I am. Ive got a college award evening in September and I really don’t want to sweat as all eyes will be on me. PLEASE HELP!
I am doing research finding out if I am the only one with this ugly problem. I am a 54 year old a woman full of life and from my 20’s I have had a problem sweating. I can just be sitting at my computer, watching TV, just listening to mellow music, talking with someone, it’s WINTER and I can feel the heat coming from my head, to the touch I can feel the water in my head soon be all over my face and running down my neck, front and back.
This is such handicap for me being that I am such an outgoing person, I cut all of my hair off because it won’t stay fixed, but more time than not I find myself saying no, I not feeling well or I’m tired, because I hate that my friends always have something mean to say, do they think I like looking like I’m walking around with a personal shower or people look at me and saying are you alright, can I get you something, or just turning up their lips and walking away like I have something really bad…….and it hurts so bad….. but I just keep pressing my way and wiping the sweat away as if nothing going onor nothing has been said.
I have tried all kinds of medications from doctors and over the counter you name it and nothing has helped……If anyone has a cure for this problem, I am listening…..slowly dieing inside.
Hmmm… I don’t know how old of a thread this is, but there are some really sad stories here. I suffer from hyperhidrosis also (mainly sweating from the forehead… huuuge problem in social situations). I decided to try using certain dri on my forehead (going against what the label says) after about a week I stopped sweating from my forehead and after using the product for about a year my pores seemed to close off on my forehead for good.
I don’t use certain dri on my forehead anymore and I don’t sweat from my forehead hardly at all (amazing). I worried for safety reasons about putting certain dri on my forehead so I asked my doctor and he said it was harmless though some people feel a stinging feeling from the product (it was only minor for me).
I hope this helps… it has been quite life changing for me.
Hi Scooter,
The threads are active and recent – I’ll get dates up on these.
As for using Certain Dri – I’m glad it worked for you, but I’ll take this opportunity to reiterate that deviating from the instructions is not suggested. I’m not sure if the product does something to the skin on your forehead or if they are worried about it getting in your eyes, etc. but I highly recommend that anyone considering repeating Scooter’s application consult a doctor first.
Thanks for sharing!

I have excessive sweating of my face and the back of my head. When I wake up in the morning and use the bathroom to put makeup on, I can barely get through without my face dripping in sweat.
At work, at home, I feel hot when everyone else is actually cold and I never, ever have to wear a sweater in the winter. I need a fan at my face all day at work, and when I’m home I need one on me all day and night. I have the air conditioner on when no one else (I live in a condo), does.
I don’t sweat under the armpits at all and don’t really feel hot on any other part of my body, only my face and back of my neck. After blow drying my hair in the morning, the back of my head is almost soaked from sweat. Being hot all the time, makes me so irritated and at times causes me to feel angry.
Funny thing is, years ago I was cold all the time and all of a sudden in 1991 ( I remember the year), I started to notice I felt hot all the time. My doctor told me I have hyperhydrosis, but doesn’t have too much to say about solving the problem.
I hate having this problem and want to know if there’s anything to use on the face, instead of surgery being my only operation. That scares me because 50% if those who elect surgery end up having new sweating problems in other areas, or an increase in their current problem. If anyone shares this problem and has received help or has any suggestions, I would be glad to hear from them.
Thank you,
Jeannie
OMG i thought i was the only one with this problem, I sweat basically every where . What bothers me the most is my face, its really annoying. People stare at me when i sweat, they are are u ok? and i say I’m fine. People without this problem wont understand, they just stare at you.
I sweat on my face for no reason, its really embarrassing. last week i went to the spa and i was sweating already when i sat in the waiting room, i sweat in winter and summer, so weird. is there any natural way to stop the sweating on face? i don’t know why we are all born with different types of problem, life sucks!
I’m 17 years old and i think i have hyperhidrosis. In the morning i wake up and I’m fine. I have always been in football so i know what it takes to make me sweat. But since sophomore year i start sweating excessively. Going to a store and and walking around for 5 minutes and my face will be covered in sweat and so will my armpits. Freshman year I weighed 276 pounds sophomore year i weighed 234.
If anyone knows what I can do to find out or what i can use to stop sweating, it would will really help.
I need to know if why I sweat so bad in my face/hair. I was over at my mother’s house and the nurse and I were turning my mom and I was sweating like a shower and the nurse was not sweating at all.
Why is this? is it because of my age? If anyone knows the answer please email me and advise me on what I can take to cure this annoying problem.
Has anyone tried acupuncture for the facial sweating? I also read about botox for it but when I checked into it the cost was $3000 a treatment and was deemed only temporary. Acupuncture might be cheaper and less extreme. Lately even when I’m not really exerting myself, just walking normally in the mall shopping I can feel the sweat glands in my face turn on like a tap! It really limits ones lifestyle. I’ve been forcing myself to go to yoga even though I’m the only one with a totally soaked face and puddles on my mattress.
Since I was a kid I watched my dad sweat profusely and avoid the public. I felt bad for him and was good til I turned 33. Now I sweat just as bad as my dad does. My whole body sweats and I soak through my shirt and my face just pours. I am sick of watching everybody else not sweating while I am drenched. It can be 20 degrees outside and I can be doing nothing and start sweating.
I have had all kinds of lab work and several doctors have told me that it is just me and that nothing is wrong with me. I was told that it is adrenaline was the cause by one doctor who said stress triggers it.
So who is going to contact me and tell me what I can do beside hypnosis?
I’ve had excessive facial sweating since my late teens. I’ve tried anything you can think of and nothing has helped. I still have it and it’s starting to affect my relationships. Does anybody have quality suggestions before I consider surgery?
For me its my upper lip, like below my nose , that’s it, if anyone knows how too end this sweating, i would be forever grateful, i feel like an outcast with this issue.. things would be perfect if i did not carry this burden..
Thank you , someone please help.
I share your pain, frustrations, embarrassment, etc. My facial sweating started in my late 20s. I tend to have these bouts when I feel I am being EVALUATED, CRITIQUED, and/or SCRUTINIZED. Job interviews, public speaking, and face-to-face conversations can lead to profuse sweating of my forehead, cheeks, and back of the neck. I’ve had more than my share of embarrassing experiences – most recently when I had my hair cut by a new stylist.
I’ve also lost friendships because of my frequent disappearances/absences during social situations when a sweating attacked occurred. Not knowing what I was experiencing, my acquaintances came to interpret my disappearing acts as me being a “flake.” One solution is to have wind from a fan directed at the back of my neck. While blown air on my face is also helpful, for some reason the back of the neck seems to be the key region for me. Obviously, it is impossible to arrange for a fan to be available in most situations. I’ve wondered if a thin-layered ice-pack placed beneath the shirt and against the base of the neck might do the trick. In the meantime, I continue to opt out of social and professional opportunities that do not allow me to control the environment with the pre-placement of a fan.
I love the sunshine as much as the next person but its a nightmare for me. My face sweats terribly, I have no problem with underarm or anywhere else just my face. I recently spent 2 weeks in Florida at the parks & it totally ruined my time there
everyone else was dancing round with the parades etc whilst I was hiding in the shade constantly wiping my head & face and feeling totally boiling hot. It seems to seep from the tops of my cheek bones under my eyes and also above my top lip. I was prescribed propanthaline, but this did nothing except give me a dry mouth!! There must be something that works out there. It has nothing to do with embarrassment it’s just when I get hot in hot weather.
I have the same symptoms i sweat like a freak, i had to give a presentation at work to a visiting executive and was sweating like crazy. I felt like an idiot, i wasn’t nervous or scared, just started pouring sweat! What can i do to stop this.. like many of you said, it keeps me from social situations and doing things that i enjoy… what can i do to stop it???????????????
So I also obviously have the same problem, my hands, armpits, feet and mainly my face. I recently went to a dermatologist who said she was going to try botox to fix this problem as a free trial to me. Only i was crushed when she said they would only do axillary botox as the treatment is not approved for the face.
It has worked for my armpits and is covered by insurance. They say it lasts up to 6-8 months. Although it may not be covered by insurance and could be expensive I think it is worth getting it on my face because of the embarrassment I suffer and all the things I miss out on due to the problem.
the dermatologist did not have a single treatment recommendation for my facial hyperhidrosis, disappointing since I feel there has to be something. I am currently going to try the certaindri and see if that helps before taking more drastic measures
I live in the UK, and it’s been such an inspiration to me to read the comments on this site. I’m 60, and for past 15 years, the problem of excessive sweating on my face and head has just got worse and worse. Like so many of you who have left comments, the sweat just pours down my face, SOoooooo humiliating and uncomfortable. I can really relate to the people who say that wiping your face doesn’t help because it’s started again before you can even finish wiping.
The best thing about this website – I’ve realized that I’m not the only one with this problem – though have the rest of you found this, you’re often the only one in the room with the condition at any given time?
I’m going to see what remedies I can find here in the UK, and will post re any I have success with.
Hang in there, all of you!
Hyperhidrosis has been a constant pain in my life. I’m glad I know that it is a condition but it so embarrassing. I also have acne prone skin and this condition contributes to it. I’m just starting on Robinul today. They ’say’ that it really helps for those of us who have severe facial sweating.
I am a 46 year old choir director. Our uniform is robes & overlays made of peachskin material. By the time I’ve directed the first of two songs, I have sweat pouring from my head! My hair is drenched, face totally wet and I end up “winking” at the choir from stinging eyes! Needless to say, it’s very embarassing & very unladylike to stand in the pulpit sweating profusely in front of the ministerial staff! I need help! It generally takes me 30 minutes afterward to dry off & stop dripping from my hair. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Feels good to see I am not the only one out there pouring all day..
I’ve been suffering from Hyperhidrosis since I’m 8, got worst after puberty.
I’m now 23 and still haven’t find anything to end this.
It seems that eating healthier and quit smoking have improved my condition but nothing spectacular.
I tried something recently that could work for some of you ;
I bought a bandanna at wall mart (sports area, $5) filled with reactive products inside that, once put into iced water for 10 min, keeps the bandanna cold and wet. I sewed the 2 edges to an elastic of an old boxer short.
The cold zone stretches from neck /shoulder to armpits , while the elastic is in the upper back.
Feels really good and may be useful but, doesnt last more than 2h, can be uncomfortable (specially for men) , and can be seen (small bump on the neck under the shirt ) .
Didn’t work perfectly for me, but it’s worth trying it.
Courage to everybody, you’re not alone
I’m Only Flipping 15 Years Old & My Head, My Face….My Whole Body Sweats Ugh I Hate It Especially when you want long bangs.. When I do have bangs, My Hair Will Always Look Wet. Omg What Do I Do?
:[
Hey,
I am 28yr old and I have been suffering with this problem for probably the last ten years. In a way it’s good to know I am not alone. I suffer from facial sweating which seems to be getting worse as I get older. I have had all the necessary tests from doctor and everything comes back clear.
I exercise 3 or 4 days a week and eat reasonable healthy. I have tried a lot of things even acupuncture, which initially seemed to work well. It can happen to me at any time but in particular when I am on public transport.
I recently moved to London and I have noticed that the problem has been getting worse since I started to use the underground to get to and from work. I am constantly wiping my forehead. I also seem to get it when in social situations such as restaurants and pubs, this can cause me to call it a night early due to feeling uncomfortable in front of others. I would appreciate any tips or advice on limiting or controlling this experience.
Hi..,i have a problem of facial sweating….i know from where i got it…i used to use one cream to avoid a problem which I’ve on my skin and i put it on my face too….since then when ever i feel surprised or know am a center of attention or have to give speech i can’t do it with out sweating and it’s my embarrassing moment. my life is not moving because of it….since i prefer just to stay quite every where i am otherwise if I’ve to take a part i can’t …am suffering from it….I wish there is a way which will make my face not sweat forever even if it’s hot.
What kind of doctor do you go to to treat this?
I hate having this condition so much.
I love being on stage and performing but the hot lights make it impossible for me sometimes and it makes me so self-conscious. In high school, just walking from one class to another would have me sweating tons by the time I got there. Let’s not even talk about P.E. That was the worst time… even on the really cold mornings I’d be sweating within seconds of being in the class.
Sometimes I’ll be cutting someones hair in beauty school and sweat SO much. That’s the most terrible moment, too. Nobody wants to have their hair cut by a sweaty person! And it’s not because I’m nervous, it’s just having to be standing and doing something. It’s not even something hard and it shouldn’t be making me sweat the way it does. The worst part is when my scalp and face won’t stop sweating! I constantly keep having to wipe my upper lip, under my eyes, and my forehead or the sides of my head. My scalp gets SO hot sometimes that I have to use the blow dryer to cool off and everyone just stares at me. I wish I could stop this.
I have been suffering from this problem for the last 25 Yrs. Never took it seriously though afflicted by it more than significantly. Wiping a with a Turkish napkin, towel is what I have started doing lately as kerchiefs did not help much. Thinking of using a ’sweat band’ that sports men use. I don’t sweat in AC rooms and while in cool weather like some did as per the posts here. Any slight strenuous physical work makes me sweat esp on the forehead and every where later. I think overweight ( am at least 15 KGs OW!) can be one reason and attempt to reduce weight. Want to know more about Certain Dri and try it too. So glad to see so many persons who share my problem. Feeling strong! Will research further and post solutions what ever I come across. Cheers……….
I am glad I not the only one!! I work retail its still so gross one min i am ok the next my head face are wet even my eyebrows and above my top lip.
Wow, I am SO glad I finally found people who have the same issue that I have. I know this is going to come out wrong, but it’s actually comforting, in a way, to know that some of you have it worse than I do. Again, I’m not trying to revel in your misery (like the bully in the Simpsons cartoon “ha-ha”), as I certainly can identify with your issues, but I finally realize that I’m not some nervous nelly, fat, sweaty slob that I’ve pictured myself to be.
I’m a 37 yr old male. I’m about 30 to 40 lbs overweight, but carry it well (230 lbs at 6′1″). My sweating seems to be either totally on or totally off. I don’t sweat 24/7, but when I do sweat, it’s like Hoover Dam just opened up above my head (like that guy Ted Striker from the movie Airplane). I sweat more in my scalp and face than other parts of my body, but I do sweat everywhere. Thank God I don’t have body odor when I sweat, at least until I dry off and it starts to “ferment.” Aren’t the salt stains from the sweat on dark colored clothing just so attractive? Like some kind of sweat tie-dye t-shirt.
I work as a sound man and guitar tech for my buddy’s cover band, and from the second I lift the first piece of gear into the club until I load the last piece of gear back into the van at night, I profusely, uncontrollably sweat, even in 15 degree winter weather (everyone else is numb and I’m outside, with no jacket ,saying “this feels soooo good”). I go through three head bands (could go through more if I brought more) and up to 3 t-shirts in one 5 hour gig; laundry day on Sunday at my house is quite oderiferous. My nickname is “Snow Cone” among the band after a movie where someone said something like “you’re melting like a snow cone in Phoenix.” I don’t find it funny or amusing, but they do. They can’t, and never will, understand what we go through. I can’t meet any females at the gigs because the minute they see me, they all get this look of total disgust on their face and won’t come near me (and I don’t blame them). I have to be the only one going home from a gig in 60 degree weather with the air conditioner blasting on full. Winter is even more fun, because when I step outside in 20 degree weather, I start shivering from being soaking wet.
It’s not just at gigs either. When I clean my house, I’ll vacuum and sweat, do dishes and sweat, do a load of laundry and sweat, clean the bathroom and pour in sweat, put away groceries and sweat, dust and sweat, make lunches for the next day and sweat; how the heck can someone profusely sweat from putting two pieces of bread together into a sandwich?? If it’s anything above 75 degrees, I will sweat just sitting in a chair, much less while working. Showering in the summer sucks, because I have to shower, then go in my room, turn the AC on full blast and sit there for 15 minutes and wait to stop sweating. Who the hell has to set their alarm clock 15 minutes earlier to allow for sweat time??
I’m definitely reading every single word and page on this site. I need some kind of solution that doesn’t involve surgery.
I have major facial sweating! I’m a 17 year old girl. Come on, that’s got to be the worst age to have it. It is the most embarrassing thing ever, especially since I’m in musical theater.
This summer I took classes at a music camp. There was NO air conditioning in the building, so that just made me sweat even more. I was sooo embarrassed just sitting in choir class…JUST SITTING there i was sweating. I feel like such a freak. Musical theater class was even worse because we had to dance. I also had a solo, so when the spot light was on me on stage it made me really sweaty.
I’m not nervous to get up and sing in front of everyone, it’s the sweating that makes me nervous. My forehead sweats the most. Even my upper lip is really bad. My whole head also sweats so I can’t wear my hair down, even though it’s short. I would have to go to the bathroom in between every class and not blot..WIPE the sweat off my face.
The inside of my elbows and knees also sweat a lot. I am just fed up with this. My mom doesn’t believe me and thinks it’s just from being overweight or being nervous.
PLEASE HELP!!!
OMG…I was amazed to find this site. I thought It was only me. I sweat bullets constantly whenever I am doing anything. It is so uncomfortable to always be sweating on my face. I wear glasses and it irritates the sides of my nose where my glasses sit and the skin breaks open there. Besides it getting in my eyes all the time. I am gonna have to try the certain dri and see if that helps. I tried the headband thing while I was working but it irritates me and didn’t help that much.
Have tried many supposed cures like sage tea, and some crazy herbal tea promoted by a guy on the net (which tasted like the contents of a vacuum cleaner bag and probably was). I’ve tried all kinds of sprays which are designed for armpits and feet purely because none of the remedies deal exclusively with the face.
I hate going to clubs because i get so hot, on occasions when I meet girls I feel really self conscious and when I’ve had girls touch my face/hair its embarrassing as i know it is soaking wet.
I avoid going on holiday with friends as i never know what situations I’ll be in or how hot it will be.
Even dinners in restaurants can be awful because spicy food or candle light can cause sweat to drip down my face.
Public transport is a nightmare (especially the underground) and I also feel this might affect my career as i never take opportunities that will force me be in front of large groups or Directors.
Will try using certain-dry as I plan to go to South East Asia this November and know I will spend most of my time in a personal puddle.
I have the facial and armpit sweating as well. The sweat from my face doesn’t seem to smell but my armpits do horribly. I have no idea what to do. My husband gets mad because i never want to bend over to pick anything up because my hair will stick to my face
I’m almost 18, I suffer really bad from facial hyperhidrosis. I live in the UK and I’m always pouring with sweat in the summer when I walk around and recently even when I’m sitting when it’s hot. I asked my doctor and all he did was prescribe a roll on deodorant (20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate in cutaneous solution) That works great for my arm pits, but he had nothing for my face.
I’m considering asking at my local acupuncture clinic about what they could do.
I have the exact same problem as Jake.
My doctor has given me the same roll on deodorant but hasn’t given me anything for my face.
I’ve had this problem since I was 8 (i am now 17) and I never thought that anything could be done about it until I started reading internet topics about it.
I read somewhere that there is something which can help prevent facial hyperhidrosis but I can’t remember the name of it
The solution I use is simple but very uncomfortable, I never use it for the latter reason.
I tried this product called ODABAN, an English product and it work PERFECTLY until… I say it is uncomfortable because you have to apply it before you go to bed and your face needs to be dry, you can’t rub it off with your pillow. Odaban antiperspirant stings a lot! So going to sleep will be somewhat, painful!
I used it a lot at first and it worked perfectly. I haven’t used it much lately to avoid that pain so now I just deal with it, or better said, I don’t deal with it. I avoid social interaction and Ive become an outcast after doing so too often, its horrible.
Best of luck to everyone.
I’ve been suffering from facial sweating for a few years now. I didn’t even have to do anything physical or be nervous for it to start running down my face and neck. It got so bad to the point where I didn’t have a social life because I knew that people would notice the sweat.
A week ago I bought Certain Dri and applied it to my face. I don’t have any bad side effects and it works GREAT!!! I know the directions say to ONLY apply it to your underarms, but I think it works just as well for facial sweating too. I just apply it before I go to bed, and I can be sweat free for at least a few days.
WARNING: You should not deviate from the instructions and consult your doctor BEFORE taking any action like that mentioned above. This is one visitor’s experience and not recommended.
Hi, I am 24 years old and it seems my excessive sweating has gone worse within the last few years. It was bad in college, because when I drink, it causes me to be red and I start to sweat uncontrollably. I sweat even more when I am talking to someone because I get so uncomfortable and self-conscious.
I have tried a couple products that reduce shine, but they were pretty much ineffective. I swear I can go into a Yoga room and I sweat just standing there. The worst problem is that I am 24 and I should totally be over getting acne, but my excessive sweating exacerbates the acne. I want to try acupuncture and I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and obtained good results. If not, is there any product out there that you swear by????
Thanks!
Hyperhydrosis is ruining my life. When I get up in the morning and take a shower, I only take a cold shower so I can cool off. Doesn’t help. I don’t even blow dry my hair because the bottom is soaked in SWEAT.
I only wear dark blue or black shirts or white shirts with patterns so no one can see how soaked my back is. If I’m unlucky enough to get up late I am already off to a bad start, as I begin sweating shortly after I get up and/or shower. Then I have to walk to class. The SECOND I sit in my seat after walking to class (Which takes 5 minutes) I am DRIPPING IN SWEAT. My back is SOAKED. My forehead and neck are soaked and I cant wear my long blond hair down.
My face gets red like a tomato. I don’t even OWN foundation because its worthless. Don’t get me started on my armpit sweat. I haven’t worn a cute shirt kind of tight on the arms in YEARS. I HATE IT, I HATE IT!
I’m going to have to learn to live with it I guess.
Certain Dri doesn’t help unfortunately. yea everyone is always like ARE YOU OKAY ARE YOU SICK…. SO EMBARRASSING….. fml good luck all YOU AREN’T ALONE EVEN THOUGH IT FEELS LIKE IT, TRUST ME I KNOW
i am a 16 yr old female, and CANNOT stop sweating. it is ruining my life! i used to be a very outgoing person and i never had nervousness or anxiety, but recently when i go out with my friends, walking short distances, or just sitting in the car, my face and scalp start sweating!
It’s very embarrassing when it looks like I’ve just got out of the pouring rain, when actually it’s just sweat!! i feel very ashamed when i am hanging around a lot of people. This problem is keeping me from doing things i love to do, and i am embarrassed to get a job where i would have to associate with a lot of people. I need this to STOP!!!
I have the same problem like most of you guy, my recent embarrassing moment was when i almost failed to introduce my self before visiting colleagues, where i was seated i was almost striping naked because i needed more exposure to fresh air to dry my face as the frequent use of the hankie seemed less productive, unfortunately looking at other people enjoying the whole occasion dressed in jackets and ties.
I am this other guy who always needs the A.C to be on otherwise i will be dripping with sweat even when its raining out and cold, LORD HAVE MERCY. I really do need help to find my way out because I am losing a lot of my social life where i prefer being confined alone and fail to take up training and better positions because i feel it will be just another embarrassment.
Please, anyone with helping ideas leave a comment.
LORD HAVE MERCY
I have face sweating it just comes on anywhere my hair will get wet sometimes if i can set down drink something cool it goes away and after i shower if i do not set for a little while.
I sweat terrible sometimes, for example, on Sunday morning i will be running late and do not set down after showering to go church i will set in car with A C on in my face while husband drives so i can at least put face cream on.
I am trying vitamins to see if some of them work, if so will let put them on here. Also, one time my heart doctor put me on heart pill and I stopped sweating for a long time; I was so happy but SWEATING came back

Hey Everybody,
I haven’t checked that site for months and have the feeling that people are just sharing their problems and all the embarrassing situations we ALL know about. Why don’t we start sharing SOLUTIONS !
I bought on internet wet pads of Topical Glycopyrrolate, (authorized only in Canada :S ) that didn’t work well and cost me a lot..
I recently went to see an Homeopath MD and after taking my Chinese pulse and asking hundreds of questions (habits, food, parents, diseases,..) it appeared that my Hyperhidrosis problem may come from a Shock during childhood.
There are many solutions in homeopathy for Hyperhidrosis to solve BOTH the problems (excessive sweating) and the causes (here, the shock).
I’ll let you know the results.
Good luck to y’all
I am 59, I have had this problem most of my life but didn’t know there was a name for it. My problem is facial and head sweating. Can’t wear makeup, it drips into my ears giving me ear infections, forget hair care, pony tail is the only answer.
My boyfriend says he would love to kiss me without sweating! Does anyone know what will cure or help this? MY Dr wants to give me botox, how will that help my head and face???
PLEASE READ THIS!!
My name is David and I am 40. I live in the UK and I have suffered from facial hyperhydrosis since the age of about 13.
Things I avoid in my life because of this:
Dancing (which I love)
Holidays in hot countries (or in the UK in the summer)
Going ANYWHERE on a hot summers day.
Standing at the bar.
Crowds.
Tubetrains.
Confrontation.
Promotion at work. (Involving interviews or public speaking)
Meeting new people. (wherever possible)
Shopping.
Walking any longer than about 10 minutes in daylight.
Parties. (Which I love).
I could never learn to drive because of this either.
Things I DREAD!
Rushing around to get ready going anywhere.
Sitting on the bus if the back seat isn’t free.
Meetings at work.
Walking into a warm shop if its cold outside.
Getting embarrassed.
Basically it has made me feel high levels of anxiety ALL the time in social situations.
I recently inquired about this with my doctor. I had been asking for 15 years with other Doctors and had no joy.
I was sent for a private consultation to see a Professor / Surgeon and it was the BEST thing I ever did. I was hoping to have ETS Surgery but he refused to perform it on me.
At first I was felt devastated, until he went into GREAT detail about the high risk of ‘Compensatory Sweating’ and urged me to look at these websites. I feel spared from a life of misery. OK it controls my life to quite a high degree, but if I ended up with the Compensatory Sweating it would RUIN my life. I know I would never leave the house.
My Hyperhydrosis is thankfully not constant. When it happens it is usually for 5-10 minutes at a time.
I have been prescribed ‘PROPANTHELINE’ – a low dosage to start with. I have to take 3 a day for a week and then increase my dosage over the period of 4 weeks until I see him again. If this does not help – he is going to try me with a ‘face gel’ to wear at night.
He has put me foward for a course of ‘ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy’. An intense therapy course that trains your mind into coping and dealing with the problem and can actually reduce and lessen the effects.
I have also been advised to avoid CAFFEINE as this affects the Sympathetic System adversely. He told me I would never be free of this problem – but it could be controlled to a certain degree and improved.
I can live with that! I CANNOT risk the possibility of Compensatory Sweating.
I URGE ‘ANYONE’ CONSIDERING THIS SURGERY – look up SYMPATHECTOMY DISASTERS & PROBLEMS WITH ETS SURGERY. Read ALL the comments from those who have had this operation. Look up ETC SURGERY on YOUTUBE – and see videos of people with Compensatory Sweating.
Try EVERYTHING else first. Hypnosis/Acupuncture/Therapy/Medication/Gels/Deodorants/Herbal/Diet/ EVERYTHING before you even entertain the idea of putting yourself at the terrible risk of surgery.
Each one of us are different – although we all have the same crippling problem. What may not work for one – could be the saving grace for another person.
MY recommendations may not work – I really hope and pray they do – but if they don’t, I will just have to settle my mind that things COULD be so much worse.
My love and support goes out to each and every one of you. I truly hope we all find a solution, or at least something to improve our condition.
I would not wish this on my worst enemy – but I still find it a comfort to know I am not alone, after spending years feeling like a freak of nature.
You are all in my thoughts,
Love David. x
I am 50 years old , I have suffered from craniofacial sweating for 9 years now, and the doctors can not find anything medical wrong with me ,the crazy thing is ,that any foods containing salt or sodium will make me sweat profusely for 24 to 48 hours ,sweat just runs down my head ,face and neck, my joints and ribcage hurt very badly, my doctor says I have tendinitis ,since RA and OA have been ruled out.
I just don’t know what to do or think ,I live in pain every day, I am not going through menopause, I do not have hot flushes, thyroid function is normal ,I have a son who is 16 years old and he is close to perfect, so my stress level is minimal ,I would like to know why I( am suffering like this. Every medical test I have had done ,has come back normal.Please help and I don’t want to hear that I should stop eating salty foods ,because I don’t use a lot salt ,as a rule of thumb. Heart disease runs in family ,so I cook with no salt now.
I’ve been sweating a lot when i work outside or do regular housework, sometimes coffee seems to trigger it in the AM , but in the last 9 months or so, the sweat on my head and neck in the hair smells like popcorn when there is the least bit of moisture , I’m 63 years old and trying to find a solution to why the popcorn smell?
Even in the shower after i shampoo my hair , it still have the smell and only when the moisture is there. if my doctor finds out why, I will reply.
What kind of doctor do I go see for profuse facial sweating? I am at a loss. It has gotten so bad that I feel like I can’t wear real clothes, i want to live in shorts and it’s almost November.
It is so embarrassing, I am the only person, everywhere I go with sweat literally running right off my forehead and down my face. I don’t know what to do. My family doctor has no answers. Where do I turn to find out what is causing this?
my goodness, and i always thought i was the only one suffering from this! I’m glad to know a lot of ppl share my pain.
I am 16 now and I have had the same problem since i was 12 . My family doctor said i had no problems whatsoever with my body and a i even got a blood test.
Right now, I’m seeing the Chinese doctor, where they give you herbal medicine, If i get any results, i will share with all of you! Apparently in some cases it has to do with hormones or something.
For girls who like bangs/ fringe like me, i suggest sometimes hair spray helps hold the bangs together so even if you sweat, it usually stays in place and doesn’t get as wet.
I know what you mean by embarrassing, ppl always look at me in a strange way.The worst thing is that I’m Asian, and usually Asians are like cold or something. My relatives think I’m soo strange.
I usually sweat in my morning classes, which i hate because my hair is always dripping wet.
If it gets too bad, i just go to the wash room and freshen up.
Also, avoid spicy foods because it makes it worse, haha
Good luck to all of you!
I have sooo much empathy with all of you – I am a video camera woman and suffer daily with sweat pouring from my forehead into the eyepiece of my camera – saltwater stinging my eyes.
Recently I had to document a visit of the Minister of Health at a local hospital – within 5 minutes I was flushed like a ripe tomato and sweating like a racehorse whilst in the company of cool suited dignitaries and doctors – I was mortified – wearing a soaking wet bandanna / scarf wrapped around my forehead was the only temporary solution…
I still dread every filming experience…my passion…but I try to keep cool head about it. Hyperhidrosis is psychologically and socially debilitating…
To tblake: i have exactly the same problem as you do. Excessive sweating of the face and scalp and neck is triggered when i feel i am being evaluated or scrutinized. I thought it was because I’m nervous but not really. it’s good to know there are people out there who have the same problem like me. i thought I’m the only one in the world who has it. Can i get your email address?
I wish I could see someone experience it instead of just reading stories because I swear its only me sometimes. its taken over my life a good bit. I’ve known about the condition for a few years but its getting worse lately.
When I worked at the gym two years ago I was in the best shape of my life and had plenty of confidence. when I left, my confidence left as well and the sweats came on more and more as my confidence went down and stress level rose.
We all need to just try and someway beat this and build our lives back the way they were before being hit with this. my reason for writing tonight is that I’ve allowed this condition to control my life too long. just tonight; my brother was standing over me and I started to sweat. it upset me because its my brother, not some interviewer, associate, etc.
From now on I will try and breathe easier and stop getting tense every time I think of getting tense. that’s all it is for me, really is mental. my mind says to sweat and panic and that’s what I do regardless of what’s really going on. I’ve dropped enough sweat over this condition and I’m done.
We can do this and we can help one another!
I don’t know where to begin.. I guess I remember a few cases growing up when giving presentations I sweat a bit.. BUT it all started when I has my child. Right after, I started sweating at work (one on one sales).. It made me have to quit! its become more and more as the years go on.. I’m entering the 3rd year since its been a problem.
I avoid social scenes at all cost. Ive been in one wedding and three interviews since. Surprisingly it didn’t effect me during those times. For the interviews I just sat in my car with the AC blowing for about an hour straight so I was cold going into the interview…
I have another wedding coming up in 2 months though, and I’m the bestman… I’m soo nervous to stand up there and give the speech. I know I’m gonna be soaking. I need to find help before then!
Ive found that if I want to go anywhere public it helps me to wear a hat. I sweat on my forehead the most, and this kinda of hides it from others. My problem is in dressy events like interviews and weddings, even family events (Christmas.. thanksgiving) were you have to dress up and cant wear a hat.
I NEED help now. I’m turning 23 in January, and I cant let this ruin the rest of my life. I’m going to see a doctor within the next week. Cross your fingers for me.
I’m 19yrs old and I’ve had a BIG problem with facial and neck sweating. I’ve been struggling with this problem since i was 11yrs old….I need some serious HELP….i have medicaid but I doubt it would cover the cost of the treatments but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to come up with the money for treatment.
It’s very embarrassing for me whenever I’m in a social setting. I’m not nervous but I start sweating and it makes me nervous. I tried going out to the nightclub with my friends twice and it was no fun because I had to spend my whole night next to all the napkins by the bar. I need help!!!!
I have a 4 month old son and its hard to be around him because I’m always hot and sweating so i always need to have the fan or a/c on. I recently cut off all my hair because it was thick and just adding to the problem. I need answers!!! A remedy…..ANYTHING THAT WOULD STOP THIS!!!!
Oh i have more to add…..I can’t wear long sleeves but i only wear jeans because i have really bad water retention in my ankles so it adds to it…..In this economy being so young wit no job experience its hard to try to look for a job because i have to be picky….I’m trying to find a job where i don’t have to walk because as soon as i take a few footsteps i start sweating…my body has gotten to the point where i got so hot i almost passed out….yeah its that bad…..People tell me that’s good that u sweat like that then you know you wouldn’t be fat!!! yeah but they don’t have to deal with this….Guys think that I’m sweating because I’m nervous around them but that’s not even the case….I think if i get this problem fixed then i would be more confident with my daily life
I am not sure if this post is still active but I suffer from moderate facial sweating like most on this post. I am going to ask my doctor next week about Robinul. I hope he is opened minded and informed about the medication.
One thing that has helped me greatly in meetings and on the metro is a hand held air conditioner. It cools the air around your face, or wherever you are pointing it, up to 30 degrees F. The thing is amazing! It is not large at all. You basically wet this sponge and insert it into the fan and let it rip. It doesn’t produce any mist, just cold air! It is not very loud at all. I would highly recommend you to look into it. I think I paid $40.
Nice to know I am not alone!
i have it too. mostly on my face and armpits (though not as bad on the armpits)
my nose starts sweating a lot whenever i’m in class and the area above below my nose to my mouth sweats a lot too. i never have any confidence anymore. i feel like a freak of nature. it’s keeping me from being who i want to be & taking over my life. nice to know i’m not alone. but i would like to know any effective treatment options for it such as over the counter drugs etc etc
Ever since my early teens i have suffered excess sweating all over my body. Now that I’m 19, the sweating is normal in the armpits, but my head/face/neck area and back are the worst to deal with. The face especially, when in any sudden moment my face is flourished red and my face area perspires around my lip and chin and sideburn area and moves its way up my forehead.
The sweat starts just because the temperature is a little warm or the tiniest stress is involved by talking to a girl or giving a presentation. In sports and at the gym, i am just drenched in sweat. And then i sweat more in a social situation when you know people are just looking at your face just dripping with sweat.
Being a guy in my late teens early 20’s it makes it extremely to talk to ladies when your face is blushed in red. Now don’t get me wrong i have game to talk to ladies, but in any warm situation my game is completely busted and i have to divert away so they wont see my flourished face.
Getting a job and talking to any superiors such as a boss or the cops makes the sweating come right back. I cant go to dances or basketball games because just the heat of the room makes the sweat start, let alone dancing. Any slightly stressful situation causes my face to flourish! Even in the cold i can start sweating at anytime.
I cannot live with this condition and i have been to several doctors who cannot find out what is wrong. I am just jumping from doctor to doctor with referrals, but still having no luck. This is the worst social situation to overcome!
Please Help me I don’t know how to deal with this horrible condition.
I too sweat a lot when I’m nervous or when i get put on the spot! Can someone tell me where can i buy some Robinul tablets for cheap and without a prescription? Please, I have an interview in a few days!
Carlos,
I would advise you to NOT take prescription medications without first seeing a doctor. If you self prescribe and buy medications like Robinul online, you risk bad meds and / or serious side effects that your doctor could have warned about.
For me, facial sweating is the worst and most embarrassing, right next to the hands; sometimes you feel like you would do anything just to not sweat, including taking risks, but please, do it the right way.
Becky
Hi co-sufferers,
Until now I was thinking I was the only one the earth going through the nightmare of facial / body sweating. I am a male, in my late 40’s and think I have had this problem for the last 25 years.
I sweat heavily during conversations with higher-ups, strangers (men and women), during presentations, tight situations like when questioned on anything, and strangely sweat starts even while thinking about the above. I sweat a lot during workouts as well and in ac rooms.
I think the problem is due to my low self esteem which could be genetic but I do not think any of my siblings or parents have this issue. Facial sweating is hurting my career growth and caused a lot hair loss.
I wanted to see a psychologist but am afraid, do people think I am crazy? I used to be okay during school days but I think my self confidence is severely impaired due to unsuccessful higher education. Anyway, I have lived long enough with this problem and am sure I would take this to my grave.
It is sickening and sad to be in this situation!
ive suffered from this condition since as long as i can remember im 40 and ive dealt with this for atleast 32 years. until now nobody seemed to be able to tell me whats wrong with me i would always sweat at the slightest of movements its so embarrassing to be standing their talking to someone who’s probably cold and im sitting there rubbing sweat off my forehead, and every time i rub i watch their eyes follow my hand up to my face. my girlfriend is always complaining about me sleeping with the fan on even in the winter, but its the only way i wont sweat at night. also over the years ive found myself avoiding certain social events because i no i will get to hot and start sweating ,then you become embarrassed so you start sweating even more.
I have suffered from bad sweating on my face and scalp, sometimes if it gets really bad my hands will sweat. I have been to the doctors and they have done 4 different test, testing for under active thyroid which they have all come back negative.
I have lost a few stone trying to loose weight thinking it may be down to my weight. My doctor wrote off to the nhs after they told me i have hyperdrosis and they told my doctor that my case ”isn’t good enough” for treatment (such as removing nerves etc…) as ‘everybody sweats’. It gets to a stage where i can go from outside to inside and it will be dripping down my face, i can be walking in the snow, in the middle of winter and i will be sweating and really hot!
It does feel like I’m alone as everyone just seems to pass the buck because no one gives me reasons for why this is happening or how it can be solved. Its so embarrassing and would do anything to remove the sweating from my face. I don’t get sweating from no where else apart from my chest (no underarms). I have tried drinking green tea for 7 weeks to try and detox but still no answers……
I sweat a lot after taking a shower-I need a box fan set on high to cool down.
One time, when I was work, I needed to go outside briefly,when the temperature was in the 20’s,a worker said to me-”are you nuts!you are going to get the flu!”, because i just had a t-shirt on.
One thing I noticed is, I never ever get the flu or even a cold-I think my high body temperature protects me from the bugs, I burn them little critters right up. I noticed though, most of my sweating is facial.
A lot of strangers that see how I sweat think there is something wrong with me. Everybody that knows me are used to seeing me sweat, and never say anything. When I was in my teens & 20’s, I used to get sick & get the flu over the
winter like everyone else. When I started overheating & sweating-around the later 30′, I never get sick.
I recently went for a job interview, I was glad it was brief, because if I would of have been in that office just a few minutes longer, I would have started sweating. When I was waiting in the hallway before the interview with other people waiting to get interviewed, I started to sweat, so I took off my coat-but I still sweated after taking off my coat-once I get heated up, it takes a while to cool down.
Another thing, when my glasses get wet from sweating-I keep a roll of paper towels in my car so I can wipe my face & glasses,so I can see to drive.
I gotta say, this is a great site, as I can relate to every post!
I really have found this website and all comments useful, I am however looking for a cure quite quickly. I am getting married in 5 weeks and I just know my face/head will be dripping, I mainly sweat when I’m in large groups of people or if I’m overwhelmed. Please please please can somebody give me some advice, I would be so grateful.
saya tidak tau apa yang terjadi dengan wajah saya…setiap hari wajah saya selalu mengeluarkan keringat walaupun saya tidak melakukan aktivitas…… saya sangat malu untuk selalu keluar rumah….
bisakah anda memberikan solusinya????
I have never got such an embarrassing situation like sweating uncontrollably only in the face at my interview, i know to them it was like this guy must be nervous but i was not though later on the sweating its self made me. the most annoying thing is trying to make what you know is abnormal because i knew this was coming since I’ve had the condition for the past 15 years. PLESE HELP ME!!!
What is the price for this product.
I have this condition I think.I work physically everyday and expect to sweat.However even when I am relaxing in the weekend it happens.Large beads of sweat(taste like fresh water)form all over my face.Also my body.I avoid sitting on non absorbent seats like the ones found in waiting rooms.I have to pull my clothes away from me when I stand up.Most humiliating and so uncool.Ok it looks like we all have it?I am healthy ,fit and 50years old also post menopausal for the last 3 years.I generally do not wear makeup because of this condition.
What can I do???
