I don't think it's really possible to ultimately answer your question. As you say yourself, everyone's burden is the heaviest one to that particular person… And not every palmar hyperhidrosis is the same. Someone with very sweaty hands will have worse hyperhidrosis than the patient with mild axillary hyperhidrosis; but on the other hand,…[Read more]

Hi, Andrew, I'm glad to hear you have a good method of keeping hyperhidrosis at bay. 🙂

Is your electro antiperspirant the same as the one mentioned in this thread: http://hyperhidrosisnetwork.com/forums/topic/any-thoughts-on-iontophoresis-electro-antiperspirant/ ?

Does it work just like iontophoresis for sweaty hands, or is electro…[Read more]

No first-hand experience on my part, but I can tell you to look around the website and you'll see that Drionic has a special device for treating axillary hyperhidrosis. From the photos, their armpit applicators look practical and easy to hold in place. If that's the case, maybe the treatments are effective?

Well, that's my two cents on this. 🙂

Isn't Drionic even lighter? Like, it weighs 2 pounds or something like that? Drionic is also significantly cheaper than Idromed, so that's another plus if you are on a tight budget. The quality is not quite top notch, but you could still get results. 🙂

I'm not an expert on this, though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. 🙂

This is really good. 😮 😀
I think the Internet is swamped with advices on playing video games with sweaty palms etc, but I think 90% of those advices simply tells people to use gloves, antiperspirants and other treatments… Basically it all comes down to good old “how to not sweat” instead of focusing on this specific situation. It's…[Read more]

She is a gymnast so she gets cracks and rips on her hands all the time they suggested putting petroleum jelly on it before treatment and that works like a charm.

This is interesting – I never thought of that! Covering my hands with petroleum jelly sounds like something that could ease the sensitivity of my skin too… Because, the more I think…[Read more]

Casper you're a genious – I love the cooling gel packs tip! 💡 😀 Why on earth haven't I thought of that??
Do you have any particular cooling gels to recommend?
I would like to try homemade gel packs and save money in the long run, but that's probably not a good idea given that I don't want to risk wet pockets or gels that will warm up…[Read more]

@ Elena
I will definitely buy Sage tea asap!

Iontophoresis is not for me, and antiperspirants are only partially effective. So, before I turn to more aggressive methods to stop sweating, I want to explore the alternative field. It's all quite unknown to me. Also, I would love to hear about alternative treatments that work for palmar…[Read more]

Allegedly, Botox treatments that deal with sweaty hands can be very painful. Does anyone know about this firsthand? (Ouch, pun NOT intended!) Since hands have high concentration of nerves, the resulting pain seems likely. Apart from that, I wonder if there's a risk of permanent nerve damage? 😐
I know, I know, you'll say I'm being paranoid.…[Read more]

My hands are too sensitive for this, which is a real pity. I had this type of hyperhidrosis treatment twice and didn't like it. There was this uncomfortable tingling that freaked me out a little. Felt like I'm about to get electrocuted! 😕

To be fair, the skin around my fingernails is often damaged, so it is likely that this caused me…[Read more]
