Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Palmar hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating of the palm, represents one of the most wide spread affections from all the forms of excessive sweating. (Possible solution for this is shown in the video below!) This condition manifests itself by exaggerating the amount of sweat ones hands produce leaving one with moist and cold hands. There are several factors that trigger the heavy hand sweat, like nervousness and anxiety. Even though emotional distress is a known to be a big factor, sweaty palms often occurs without any outside stimulus.
The effects of sweaty palms are both physical and psychological. People affected by excessive hand sweating become very aware of this issue and feel discouraged when interacting in society. They try to hide their problem form others, thus increasing the emotional pressure they put themselves to. This often leads to emotional distress, which, as we have shown, triggers the problem to begin with. What makes matters worse is that affected people may not have any control of their sweating.
People suffering from this condition have a constant need to wipe their hands and usually notice a tingling sensation in their hands. They also have difficulties maintaining and developing social encounters as they become apprehensive about shaking hands.
Sweaty palms also impact intimate relationships and makes the individuals withdrawn. Just the simple task of putting on making can prove difficult, as can typing or handling paper documents.
Our society is based on many rules of conduct – a firm handshake, for example, signifies determination and inspires trust. People who suffer from excessive hand sweat may miss opportunities on a social and professional level. Other people they come in contact with may interpret cold sweaty hands as signs of insecurity and lack of self-confidence. This can prove disastrous during a job interview!
Much of our success in life depends on how other people perceive us and patients suffering with excessive hand sweating are always struggling with their condition.
Treatment is available in many forms and positive effects have been obtained by the use of prescription strength oral medication and antiperspirants. Severe cases of sweating can also be cured surgically but should only be considered as a last resort.
I have sweaty hands, feet and arm pits but more on the right arm pit than the left one. It seems to have gotten worse as I’m getting older. I am now 36 years old.
It is very embarrassing to me when It’s time to shake hands with someone. But the most uncomfortable time is when I’m reading books to the children at the school that I work at. If I get a little excited while reading or if someone besides the kids is watching me as I read, my hands start to sweat and it drips down to my arms.. It’s terrible! I’m desperate and don’t know what I can do to stop this.
I desperately need help. I also have sweaty hands, feet, and arm pits. I struggle because I have to be washing my hands a lot. I have recently encounter another problem. I am applying for a job and for that I need to get fingerprinted. I have already send the fingerprints once and they returned them because they weren’t legible. This problem is stopping me from getting a job. Help!
TREATMENT:
I too suffer from this problem, and fully understand the frustration. I’m 36 and have hated shaking hands with anyone all my life. I TRY to justify not shaking hands because i feel it’s a disgusting, socially accepted tradition. I’m not a germ-a-phobe, but you never know where someones hands have been. THE BEST TREATMENT that I’ve found is a product called “DRYSOL”. You apply it at night, then cover your hands with a latex-free disposable glove overnight. It’s weird to sleep with gloves on, and sometimes my hand will tingle, almost burn the next day. I could use the treatment for about 5 days straight, then go without for up to 3 weeks. It’s a roll-on / dabber application, and a small bottle lasts a long time.
It’s a prescription, so just ask your doctor. It’s available over seas, or Canada by the internet without a script …I’m not saying it’s legal that way… i live in the USA and can’t afford health insurance either. I also know about sweat running down my arm, but I’ve never used it in my armpits, although i think that’s where it was designed to be used.
Hope I’ve helped someone today.
Love to all.
I have had sweaty palms for years now. i am very self conscious about them. I don’t like going in public with them. People always make fun of my because of my hands that are cold and yet still damp. I would really like for this to go away!
My palms seem to be getting worse by the day. I am really starting to worry.
just recently I’ve started with really sweaty hands, nothing else, just hands. Its really horrible, i have to wipe them constantly. Do i go to the doctors about it or just hope it will go away?
Hi Stacey,
I would definitely ask your doctor about it. Hopefully it’s a temporary situation and nothing more, but it’s better to be safe – not to mention putting your worries to ease!
Jim
Both my hands and feet sweat all the time. It gets especially worse when I’m nervous. The worse part is when I think about it, it gets worse. The second I start thinking about my feet or hands sweating, they do!
This would be cool, only if I had a similar ‘off’ switch, but I don’t. Sometimes when I wear flip-flops, I can barely keep my shoes on because my feet will sweat so bad. If I wear shoes, my feet don’t sweat, but the sweat just moves to other places.
In other words, my hands and pits will sweat noticeably worse when my feet don’t sweat.
**The new line of Degree’s ‘clinically proven’ deodorant works great on my pits, in case anyone else has that problem.
is there anything I can do for my hands and feet?
Is there any research happening on hand sweating??
There seems to be no Solution for this??
All the available options can sure up to 50% but not 100%
If there is some organization doing research, we can help them as a case study..
I’m 33 old male, Suffering with this from childhood, no cure, tried Ionotoprosis but worked for 3-5 months..
I too think that surgery is a very bad idea and there is too much at stake!

I think i might have this problem as well :/
I’ve never been to see a doctor about it, but it has certainly been going on for long enough. It just never started out of the blue, it started after i was sunbathing one day on my folks balcony… i got a pretty bad sunburn and the problems started from there..
In an unrelated visit to the doctors to have stitches removed.. I pointed out to the doctor that I had little blisters under my skin.. mostly on my hands, wrists and feet..
along with the blisters… they would be very itchy, especially on my feet.
The doctor thought it was Pompholyx, so prescribed me whatever they prescribe..
about 5 years on, I’ll still quite often find blisters under the skin.. But i also have terribly sweaty hands now.. and its very very embarrassing/frustrating.
so… any news of a cure yet? :s
I am in my teens and I my hands are always seeming to sweat I am not 100% If i have this Palmar hyperhidrosis. All my friends have noticed it as well.
EVERYONE:
I’ve too suffered from the same problem for more than a decade now. I’m a 21 year old college student, how much worst can it get, right? i have to constantly shake people’s hands, have never had a date and nor do i want to, find it extremely hard to take exams without drip stains, etc. etc. i suffer from hyperhidrosis of the palms, armpits, and feet. months ago my dermatologist offered a solution, botox injections in my palms. they worked MAGIC on my hands. a couple of days after the procedure i noticed my hands were almost sweat free. i was much more social, able to shake people’s hands, was taking exams with ease, just loving to touch everything with my hands.
remember though, the botox injections only last about 4-6 months and can be costly. unfortunately, i did not have health insurance and it cost me about $800 to have the procedure done. I’m looking forward to doing it again every 6 months because it is definitely worth it for me.
i just want to remind EVERYONE here that although we have this particular problem, other people are going through worst things in their lives, whatever they may be. and one thing that hyperhidrosis has taught me is to live life with TOLERANCE for all people. so i am actually thankful that i have lived with this problem, but am now ready for a SOLUTION as are thousands of people across the world with the same problem.
i hope i shed some light on the problem of hyperhidrosis and have answered the questions of so many that feel hopeless. there is hope, do not live your life differently just because you are different.

I’m very your and have had it my whole life. I cant hold a pencil right, and am afraid that when I grow up I wont be able to get a job because I am afraid to shake hands with anyone. I feel for everyone dealing with the same problem.
You can try putting on Gold bong extra strength body powder on your hands for mild sweating. Has worked for me!
You can get botox injections to stop the excessive sweating, see your dermatologist, it may (or not) work.
Well people, I Just wanted to ask anyone who has a free way or a cheap way to cure this for my whole like my palms and my fingers sweat even when i am typing this. My mouse looks like it has taken a bath. Please reply soon
I can sympathize with anyone who has this problem. I am 33 and have had this problem all of my life. When I was in grade school, me teacher sent me to the counselor because he thought I had problems at home because my papers were always turned in smeared and wet. As a teenager, simple things such as holding a boys hand was impossible. Job interviews are the worst and meeting new people invokes a feeling of terror as I know they expect a handshake. My hands sweat so bad that they literally drip. It looks as if I have had my hands in running water 90 percent of the time.
I have used DRYSOL but this product dries up my hands so bad that they start to crack and bleed. I’m not sure which is worse. I have tried adjusting how I often or how much I use it to get the best result but eventually wound up discontinuing use. I may go back to using it again because, yes it does work (maybe too much) but at this point, I will take dry, cracked hands over sweaty hands.
Since I was a child my hands would sweat constantly; I am 55 years old now, and for 46 out of those 55 years it was a living hell. Being a man I would have to shake hands a lot and when i would write on paper the paper would start to tear from the moisture. My hands were always wet and when I would think about it, they would even get worse.
I have been given dirty looks, people pulling there hands fast after shaking my hands, I started to stay home a lot and fell into depression. I went to a doctor about my depression and we tried a lot of different pills and they always had some kind of a side effect for me. Super dry mouth, walking around in a daze, and every pill we tried didn’t seem to help my depression. We kept trying because I didn’t want to be depressed for the rest of my life.
Then we tried a pill that changed my life for ever. The pill is called Nefazodone. After taking nefazodone I started to notice that my hands were dry. I happen to meet an old friend while getting gas and he put his hands out to shake my hand and when I shook his hand my hands were completely dry. I couldn’t believe it.
My hands continued to be try and for the first time in my life i was walking around with dry hands. I was 46 years old at the time, and to this day, I still look at my hands once in a while and smile when I see how dry they are. I shake hands with everybody now.
Two years after taking nefazodone (trade name Serzone) I got really bad news . The doctor told me they took Serzone off the market because there were a small possibility of liver damage that could lead to the need for a liver transplant or even death. The incidence of severe liver damage is approximately 1 out 250,00 patients.
He drew blood from my arm and my liver was just fine. He didn’t want to continue giving me nefazodone. At this point, I’m 48 years old and I’m about to go back to a world of living hell. I suggested to him if I signed a paper saying I will take the risk and if anything happens to my liver, the doctor will be cleared of any law suit.
We agreed that I would have a blood test every month to check my liver. Every month my blood test comes back just fine. Well, Like i said I am 55 and still enjoying life with dry hands.
This is my story and I hope it helps.
I’m 17 and I’ve tried drisol, botox, and iontophorosis and none of them worked well botox lasted about a month but its too expensive to be doing that often. and the other two just didn’t work at all.
The funny thing is that i sweat a lot on my hands but not to the level that it drips, just enough to bother me a lot. But i haven’t found a cure and i’m a drummer so i can’t be dropping my sticks every two seconds because of sweat.
I just want to know that someone is doing research out there to improve the solutions that have plagued me and others.
I have had this problem for over 13 years now, it started when I was 11. Apparently my Mother also had this problem until she became 30 and the sweating just stopped! I pray every night that one day I will wake up and that it will just goes away on its own! Not only do I suffer from this but my younger brother has it even worse! It only leads me to believe this is hereditary.
This has not only caused me much embarrassment over the years but is also costing me my dream of becoming a massage therapist! I started going August of last year to massage school in hopes that we would be using lotion that would help to mask this horrible problem, but to my dismay almost all of our lessons was us massaging without lotion and I had to explain why my hands were always wet to my classmates. I unfortunately could no longer take the embarrassment and had to drop out!
The sweating gets SO bad sometimes that I look down and my hands look pruney as if I had sat in the bath tub for hours! I have tried Drysol with no luck and looked into getting Botox injections but could not afford the costly procedure nor justify it because it is not a permanent solution and would only last 3-6 months!
I hope that one day sooner than later there is a product or medication that can cure this problem if not for me than for my future children who may also have to deal with this problem.~
I’m 14 and I’ve had primary hyperhidrosis for just over three years. School is my most hated place in the world because my problem is particularly bad there, maybe that is because I am around people my own age and I get self-conscious because they don’t have this problem that I do.
I think it’s even worse when you are a teenager as your worries are multiplied by like a million. High school is supposed to be some of the best years of your life and right now I am hating my life. I’ve tried prescription roll-ons like Drysol from my doctor, alternative health methods, changing diet, etc, but nothing has worked.
I sweat excessively on my hands, armpits and feet. I get the most depressed about my hands, then armpits, then feet. Recently I’ve become interested in a practice called iontophoresis which is when you place your hands and feet in a shallow bath of water that has a mild electric current through it for around 20-40 minutes. Usually 6 treatments are required within the first 3 weeks, and iontophoresis usually needs to be repeated every 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the individual.
My parents are “considering” this treatment because it is pricey. You can buy your own machine to use at home for around £350 +, if you find the treatment is for you after being treated by your doctor. Iontophoresis has a 98% success rate, so I feel quite positive about this.
I’m terrified about my sweaty hands-I’ve had it since I was tiny. I’m doing a dance GCSE and that involves picking people up and using your hands. I’m terrified about my next lesson and it’s getting very suspicious because I’m running to the toilet every five minutes to wash my hands.
I really need help.
Can someone help me?
I am only 15 and i suffer from sweaty palms, sweaty feet, and sweaty underarms. I didn’t let it affect my social life, but i was constantly embarrassed. Since I was 5 years old I’ve suffered from hyperhydrosis and just recently I began a homemade treatment called iontophoresis.
My dad made it for me and after 2 weeks my hands stopped sweating. I continue doing my treatment once a week and since then I’ve never looked back. I’m a happier person now and I can be a normal teenager.
Anyone who has palmar hyperhydrosis should at least TRY this treatment. My dad made it for under $40. You have nothing to lose. It changed my life.
Hi Christina,
Can you tell us how your dad made it for you? Does he have plans that I can share? It would be a big, big help to so many dealing with the same issue.
Best regards,
Jim
We used a tutorial found on youtube that clearly shows how to build your own device and save a ton of money!
We used similar batteries and we bought medal pans instead.
You may not see results for the first 2 weeks, but after you get passed that its a sudden change.
Note: Thanks for the information Christina! I have posted the video you mentioned on this Ionotophoresis page.
Hi everyone,
I am also a suffering from this horrible condition and am crying as i am reading through this i just wish there was a miracle for us all i have had this problem for years now and have tried everything bar surgery which i have considered but was advised not to go through with it as it can do more damage ever!
Since i have been looking for a cure and have recently come up with the idea of having acupuncture so i am going to see my doctor to see if i can get help with this on the NHS also hypnotherapy is another one i am going to look into ill let you know how i get off hope i could help guys
Good Luck xxxx
My hands, feet and underarm have been really sweaty since I can remember and I still have not idea of how to get rid of it. Its not that I’m working out either, its just happens.
I need help! I will do anything, its keeps me for having relationships to. It’s horrible!
Try out Ionotophoresis! It worked on my hands after 2 weeks and I’m going to try it for my feet soon!
Try it…you have nothing to lose! There’s a tutorial on the this site showing how you can make it for under $40.
My hands, feet, and underarms sweat also but it does do it at night. sometimes my hands sweet so bad the sweat will drip down my arms and me feet sweat so bad its like i could slip and fall when i walk into my kitchen! i hate it its terrible i could just sit and cry sometimes but i try not to think about it and move on but its so hard no to think about it…..sometimes i cant even hold my boyfriends hand or anything its so embarrassing!!
I have tried drysol and it doesn’t work all that good and it makes me hands and feet tingle also! im thinking about having ETS surgery but the doctors told me to try this pill called Robinul so I’m going to try that and if its doesn’t work which i pray that it would! I’m going to fly to Los Angeles to have the surgery ….its 8,000 but i swear i would pay a million for my sweating to be gone 4 ever!!!
I’m 14 and I’ve been suffering all my life from this . My hands sweat soo much its really embarrassing. I really think that i should try the Iontophoresis treatment but its going to be weird telling my parents to get the materials for me. Oh my gossh, its soo annoying i wish it could just go away!
Sara, i was the same way. just go for it.
I am 18 and my whole life I have suffered from hyperhidrosis. My hands and feet always sweat unless I’m wearing shoes, which I know is kind of weird but yeah the only way to control my sweat is to wear socks!
Anyway, I didn’t know that excessive sweating was a medical condition until I finally had enough and I googled it too see if other people had this problem. I would like to know if there is any treatment hat will stop my hands and feet from sweating without having to go to the extremes of surgery?
I was planning on surgery, but then saw this site where a person with palmer hyperhidrosis (hand sweating) had results from Iontophoresis using a machine from Hidrex.
Has anyone tried that? It is so expensive. Anything cheaper out there that works?
Josephine,
Check out the section on Ionotophoresis and look at the video which explains how to make your own device for treatment.
The HIDREX machine is expensive, but you can make your own as Crystal’s dad did in the video (see the comment she left above).
Let us know how it tuned out, will you?
Beth
I just recently turned 18 and I have been suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis since i was about 11 ears old. It is just really frustrating from shaking people’s hands to trying to intimate with a female to holding a writing utensil.
My hands do not sweat to the point that they drip but rather just enough to make me uncomfortable and the worst part is, as soon as you realize they’re sweating they sweat more! I feel everyone’s pain and thank you all for letting me know that I am not alone in my struggle.
Honestly I kind of feel like this condition gets no where near enough attention because it affects so few of us, but it really is like a social set-back, even a handicap. I am definitely going to look into this Ionotophoresis (the 40$ version) business and see if it can help me out in any way so I can live my life without reservation.
Thank you all and the best of wishes.
Hello everyone i am 19 and have had Palmer Hidosis also for as long as i can remember.
I have hated many parts of my life i should love on count of it. And sadly have gained another issue because of it now not only do i dripp sweat all day everyday, i am now so shy and my face turns redder than an apple. lol I hate it so bad…
If i do get a cure for my hands then i have to figure out a way to cure a red face. I would much rather fix the red face problem even though my hands are horrible. a lot of times i cant even look at people. I think it has totally destroyed my life……..Ive tried one med but it dried me up way to bad where my tongue was hard as a brick and when i was nervous they would steal sweat amazing really i don’t get it…..But as soon as i can get a hold of $40 i am trying that video. It has made me happy. But dose any one have a solution to my other problem?
Hi everyone,
I have been struggling with palmer hydrosis for most of my life. I’m only 13 but the past 3 years have been the worst. As I’m typing right now I have to stop and dry them off. I went to a dermatoligest and they had me get drysol and dryonic. The drysol just made my hands dry and and flaky. I guess it got a little better but I didn’t like the dryness. I’m too scared to shake hands with anyone, or hold hands with a guy.. Some say I will grow out of it. I hope so but I need s change. I hate this! With dryonic, I didn’t see much of a change, and it took so much during the day.
Me and my mom are thinking about the ionotophoresis. Has anyone else tried it and saw changes? Please let me know. I need help! Its in my hands and feet. The drysol does work some for my armpits. But they weren’t as bad at my hands and feet. Please let me know if you have anymore suggestions. Thanks
Hey Ashley,
Have you checked out the video on this ionotophoresis page? Read up, I think you’ll find it useful!
Kim.
I haven’t checked it. but i see that many people have used the home made device and found it successful.. have you or anyone else used this?
I’ve got really bad sweaty palms and feet. It started when i was about 10 and its really getting me down. I’m only 15 and it really gets in the way of my school work. I get real self conscious about writing and touching people’s hands, it also gets really bad when I’m playing video games. If anyone can recommend anything that will help me get rid of them, it will be very appreciated. I live in Hull in England so please recommend anything.
Thank You x
wow, I’m amazed at how many people across the world, u.s., suffer from this.. thought i was the only one. i have been suffering from this since i was about 11 ish i think & yes, so embarrassing when i would have to participate in hand holding activities at school like square dancing and what not.,,then later i tried drysol, cracked my hands but worked a little bit., now I’m 31 and i recently went to a neurologist to ask about botox..he mentioned i would have to get about 2 dozen injections on each hand and prior to that, have to numb my hands so that i wouldn’t feel the pain…hmmm, so i thought about it and discussed it w/ my mom. i came to the conclusion that if its only a temporary solution that would last at the most 4 -6 months and have to repeat it all over again, then never mind…i don’t want to take any risks on my hands as i write a lot at work and am studying American sign language…
so for those of you dealing w/ this, i feel your pain and totally understand the discomfort., but for me, i guess I’ll learn to tolerate this and just pray about it.. also, I’m looking into acupuncture, i feel more comfortable trying that route..
god bless to u all and hang in there,
love Sofia
I have had this condition my whole life. My mom first noticed when she would stand me on her legs as a baby and I would slip off. I have experienced all these things. I am a 21 yr old student. My papers are always soggy, I have to wear jean pants all the time so I can wipe my hands, I cant wear sandals or light colored shirts. I have tried the drysol and it worked for about 30 minutes after I woke up. Recently this problem has drastically increased and I feel like there is nothing I can do because I have been told that with as much as I sweat, the surgery wouldn’t even do much for me. I cant do any physical labor at work because anything I lift will slip right out of my hands. I’m totally and completely miserable due to this.
I too have been suffering from this condition my whole life! I am now 20 years old and am in law school. Today I had to get fingerprinted for the bar with one of those fingerprint scanners and it was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life! My hands were too sweaty to get a good print. Getting manicures is also a terrifying experience and I would not have subjected myself to it if I didn’t want to look good for prom and my wedding. I also played the violin in high school but quit because my hands were too sweaty to get a good grip on the strings. I am going to try home-made iontophoresis and will let you know how it works. It’s good to know I’m not the only one with this condition!
I’m 13 years old and have had sweaty palms and feet since i can remember.
I hate everyday of it! Not being able to feel normal. School is my life and having to write almost everyday around other students makes it so much more difficult. I hate not being able to keep my hand on the paper without worrying about soaking it.
I need a cure! I cant live with fear of humiliation.
I have sweaty palms to the extreme extent! I’m 15 and i can’t go one dance with a girl without her noticing it, and plus it makes my hands really cold so nobody really likes any contact with me! Help, I can’t live like this!
Hey everyone, I have hyperhidrosis at a 90% level. Sometimes my hands are dry, but they’re sweaty most of the time. I’ve learned to live w/ it, but it still bothers me a lot on social life. I’ve had it since i was a little kid . I used to play piano at church and the keys were all covered in sweat after i was done playing and it was shameful.
Just remember to keep your head up, look people in the eyes, acknowledge them, if they respond ,good, if not, oh well, but if anyone pulls their hand quickly away from yours after a hand shake, just tell them firmly loud enough and clear that you have hyperhidrosis. If they ask what it is, just tell them to look it up on line, if they care enough, they will look it up and see all this information like the one in this web page that explains the struggles of having this condition and they might respect you or understand you even more.
If people that surround you judge you based on only physical standards without really caring of getting to know you better, then they’re really not worth having as friends. Remember, people cannot understand what they don’t know and not many people are aware of this disorder.
Good wishes 2 all n thanks 4 sharing.
I got arrested for domestic violence against my dad, (he’s a jerk so it’s ok)
Anyways I was getting processed and this happened in Florida and it was super hot so my hands were already sweating like crazy. The machine couldn’t get a clear fingerprint for anything so a cop was called over to help. He kept pushing my finger against the blasted machine and it still wouldn’t read my print. He was all like ” It’s ok to be nervous; but you really shouldn’t be be. It’s not that bad here.”And I was like “I’m not nervous”.
He gave me a look like “Pfft yeah ok.”
I have had sweaty palms for awhile now and it seems to happen at any given time. Whether i’m nervous or not or even if i grab something, i can actually feel my hands start to sweat.
When my hands aren’t all hot and sweaty, they are EXTREMELY and ABNORMALLY cold. Not only are they cold but they are pretty dry. This sweating disorder interferes with my everyday life, to my job, my school work and my girlfriend and is very annoying.
Does anybody know what some cures, or anything that could prevent my hands from not doing this?
Thank you-
Will
Hi
I have palmer hyperhydrosis, my hands have never dripped like some on here but it is bad sometimes like when I know I will be shaking hands with someone!
Can anyone recommend whats the best treatment? I’m thinking of buying a ionotophoresis machine but there over $800. Apparently homemade ones are not as effective but I guess the sellers would say that!
Like everyone here I really need help please!
Thank you
Hey i am 13 going 14 i was just wandering if that ionotophoresis thing would hurt..? like being electrical it sounds like it would hurt? does anyone know?
Thanks a lot
xx
Hello,
I am 23 and have HH for 10 years. I bought the $800 iontophoresis machine a couple years ago and it works really well when I am consistent in using it. Right now I’m looking into herbal cures. I’ve always been cynical about herbal medicine, but I’ll try anything. Has anyone had any success with herbal cures?
Ah ok thanks for that. Its a bit pricey so we made a home made one.. i have been using it for like today was the 4th day, it doesn’t seem to be giving me any results… How long until i should be seeing a change? i am going back to school in like 7 days and i am reeeaaalllyy nervous!
I went to school with it last year but this year i don’t know if i can really put up with it like trying to hide the fact that i have Palmar Hyperhidrosis. I told my best friend but no one else knows except for my family and i think no one else knowing is making me even more nervous cause like when/if they find out like what will there reaction be..?
It sucks! I also tried driclor but it doesn’t seem to be working for me either so i am like just wandering if i tried something else similar to it like drisol would it work..? cause like its basically the same thing..? so i just realllllyy want to find something…. Tell me if you find any results with that herbal thing your doing
xx

i am just typing right now and I’m sweating!!! i hate my life, everything is mess up, i hate my hands my feet!
I’ve been suffering from sweaty palms, feet, and armpits since i can remember (I’m 16)…
I got a girlfriend last week…..i have to hold hands now…….that’s gonna be embarrassing!
Any tips?
hi this is Christopher i went to a doctor and told them i have sweaty hands they gave me a cure called Hypercare its a bottle that you put in your palms feet armpits.
My sweating have stop sweating but at night it sweats and at morning it stops and i can go to school non sweaty!!! thank you i can now enjoy my life.
I absolutly hate my hands! They are constantly sweating and I can never touch other ppl or they will comment on them….it’s horrible.
I tried using HYPERCARE and…it didn’t really work for me. Or maybe I’m just not using it correctly.
A temporary cure is foot powder or baby powder. It absorbs wetness so for about an hour or so my hands remain dry…so far it’s the best thing I found.
I’m definetly thinking about the surgery when I turn 20. I’m 16 now..
OK!
So turns out I really was using HYPERCARE incorrectly! It really does work, it is such a relief! I started reusing it two days ago and my hands are dry! I had a partner dance class today and he didn’t even mentioned my hands (which they usually say “oh, your hands are so clammy! haha” but no one did! AHHHH!
So.. definitely go to your doctor and ask for a prescription for it
Note: Generic name for hypercare deodorant is aluminum chloride hexahydrate, found in Certain Dri Antiperspirant Roll-On (about $7), Extra strong Maxim Antiperspriant (about $14) and Drysol Extra Strength Roll-On for ($18).
Please help me to solve my sweating problem on my hands!
Can anyone advise me about using Hypercare with disposable latex gloves instead of Saran Wrap? Why isn’t anyone talking about this possibility? I have 2 boxes of the gloves and it seems much simpler than saran wrap. And why is tape so bad? The package insert doesn’t have much information on it. I’m scared to use the stuff. Will it react with latex? I really don’t want to wrap my hands in saran and I don’t own mittens. Thanks for any help you can give.
Note: The generic name for Hypercare is aluminum chloride hexahydrate in case you want generic product that does the same as this brand name.
Hello everyone, I just found this site and wanted to share with you my thoughts on Drysol. drysol is effective but its a drug that you will need to use for the rest of your life. talk to a homeopathic doctor for some advice on getting rid of this problem naturally!!
These big time companies want you to come back again and again to purchase this addictive and unfortunately necessary treatment. but there are other ways to treat this . you just have to dig deep and research on natural methods. hyperhydrosis may be a pscychological issue as well. pscychological therapy may be required to get over this issue.
When you use drysol on your palms hands or feet, the sweat will come out of other parts of your body as it needs to escape .
I don’t thing people should use drysol at all! it contains aluminum chloride and that can cause memory problems that may lead to Alzheimer’s. you are just putting more heavy metals and toxins into your body as you use this on a repetitive basis. its like taking anti depressants with numerous side effects.
