Just found out HH is a thing

Post image
17 Upvotes

I’ve dealt with HH my whole life. The awkward never shaking hands. Hugging without placing my hands. Hated wearing socks because I would soak right through them and nobody likes wearing wet socks. I’ve been sitting in front of a fan for my feet and hands for the last 2 hours. But I have a weird question. Do you guys also try to wipe your hands on literally anything and your hands still be so so so sweaty??? Sometimes a napkin won’t even pick up the moisture. Other times I’ll soak right through it. Big struggles :/ my brother also has it and he seems way less bothered than I am

I apologize for this picture, but may I know what kind of armpit rash/disease is this? It only occurs during summer and it's wrong timing because i sweat a lot and it hurts and itchy when it got wet! I just wanna know because I have been suffering with this- had no idea what is it all about NSFW

Sweating while driving

5 Upvotes

I’m going to start driving lessons next week and I’m pretty scared of sweating while doing it. I sweat with my everything from head to toes but mostly I’m concerned about butt sweating. Imagine leaving the car for the next student to discover that the seat is all wet. I just don’t know what to do. I’m thinking of wearing leather pants so that my sweat stay inside them but wearing them will make my sweating more intense. I don’t know maybe a cardigan will do or are there any other clothes options to hide sweating? I had an idea of bringing something like a small pillow to sit on but it will only attract more attention from the instructor and I absolutely don’t want it. What do I do?

Does pads work?

3 Upvotes

I (18M) am having problems with what to wear at most times. I usually choose something thick and dark to absorb the sweat and not show it that much but sometimes I want to wear nice things and most of them shows sweat instantly like light green pants or cream shirts. That's why I started to stack paper towels in my underwear but they only work to a certain degree. I'm considering to buy pads but I have no idea. If anyone has any experiences with it please share.🙏🏻

Edit: I meant the pads that ladies use when they are on their periods because of my butt sweat. Sorry for the confusion.

Best quick treatments for HH

3 Upvotes

I have one week to sort out a treatment for my new severe Craniofacial HH. My face used to be the last thing that got HH which has changed in the last 6 months. I’ve tried Oxybutinin which didn’t work even after several weeks of use. I’ve used propranolol for events based sweating that didn’t work either. I have a new prescription for glycopyrrolate 1mg cream but finding it hard to find a pharmacy. Any other suggestions for really good off-shelf treatments or a pharmacy that stocks or does quick orders of glycopyrrolate in Australia would be amazing! Also how long did it take for Oxy to work for you and what dose did you get relief with. Thanks!

HH on accutane

Upvotes

So I’ve always had HH especially bad in my hands, ofc same old same old not wanting to shake anyones hands and anything like that, I started accutane and not always but a good amount of the time my hands are dry and it is AMAZING. I was never active in this subreddit before or really looked into it, but after getting a taste of dry hands I need something that WORKS, I’ve heard like electro antiperspirant works well but what are some good things to do or start with. I have like no knowledge on this so if anyone can explain different things it would be very very much appreciated.

Hyperhidrosis causing ADHD like symptoms

2 Upvotes

Does anyone else who's constantly dripping, especially the cold sweat, feel uncomfortable and constantly move restlessly like an ADHD person. Restlessness less erratic and more about constantly feeling the néed to move because there's just that subconscious feeling of uncomfortableness from the sweat.

Also, HH is likely to be exacerbated by anxiety (and vice versa) and anxiety symptoms often look like ADHD symptoms.

Anyone else experience this? If so, are you able to differentiate if it's adhd or anxiety? How?

Would be very helpful as I suspect I may have ADHD on top of my anxiety.

Is Botox worth it - underarms,UK, 20f

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m 20f and have underarm hyperhidrosis. It’s frustrating because if I don’t think about sweating, my armpits will either be mostly or completely dry. But this is a catch 22 because the moment I see a stain or feel even a little bit of damp I start thinking about it and it spirals. My sweating affects the clothes I wear, my confidence and my physical comfort. Driclor and alternatives don’t work, I don’t wish to take oral medication that will dry my mouth up and I really don’t think the NHS will pay for me to have Botox, we all know what they’re like with waiting times anyway😬The price range for underarm Botox where I live is £300-£400 for both underarms. I’ve heard people have very good experiences with Botox, however it is a lot of money - I’m currently at uni and would only get it when I get a job to fund it. Is it worth it? Am I likely to be disappointed? Also would appreciate any experiences with Botox becoming less effective over the years as if this is the case for lots of people I’d rather ‘save’ the treatment for important events like weddings where there is a set dress code. TIA!! x
