Sweat Block Wipes are my favorite method of dealing with head sweating – well, facial sweating, to be more specific. It's no too strong/aggressive and still effectively prevents profuse sweating, and wipes are frankly way more practical than a roll-on to use on my face. 🙄
The bad side: My skin can get sensitive, dry and irritated at times.…[Read more]

Hi Ramona and welcome to the community. 😉
I hope we will be able to help you come to terms with your anxiety and hyperhidrosis. Look around and ask any questions… that's what I've been doing so far and it is already helping me feel more relaxed about my profuse sweating.
It is interesting what you say about anxiety, and look on the bright side…[Read more] -

I know, I know. 🙂 After a little bit of research I discovered more foods that help us stop sweating a lot.
Recommended stuff: cool tomato juice, cherries, peaches, apples, watermelons, oranges, plums and other fruit; then, veggies; also proteins (can be found in cottage cheese if you want a cool bite of proteins).Stuff to avoid: high fructose…[Read more]

After a little experiment, I am absolutely sure that our eating habits can affect hyperhidrosis. I cannot claim it works for all types of excess sweating, but it is true in my case (I have axillary hyperhidrosis).
Anyway, I went for a walk a few times these last couple of days, wearing the same type and amount of clothes and going out at the same…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Have you tried Botox treatments? in the forum Botox For Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 9 months ago
I just opened a topic in which we can rant about society's stand on excessive sweating and sweating in general. Had a big talk with my mother and she freaked out after I said I'm considering Botox treatments to deal with my armpit sweat.
Our long conversation was a bit of a wake-up call and now I'm not so keen on filling my body with poison just…[Read more] -
JennyDale started the topic Why is sweating being so condemned in our society? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 9 months ago
Recently I read an article that pretty much made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow's underarm sweating at Iron Man 3 premiere or something like that. Okay, celebrity-related news are stupid most of the time anyway – I just used this to illustrate my point: why and when did sweating become such a shameful thing?
It's perfectly normal. It's a universal human…[Read more] -

Whenever I enter a cosmetics shop, a dark cloud hovers above my head. Other girls here might now what I'm talking about… Finding cosmetics that can tolerate this condition is so difficult for me, I tend to rant about it to my friends a lot; and then they annoy me further by suggesting that I drop make-up altogether. Come on! I don't want…[Read more]

Was wondering if anyone here uses Botox to keep overactive sweat glands in check. I learned about this while looking for tips on how to stop underarm sweating. I might try Botox in the future, but so far the whole thing seems pricey and even potentially dangerous. Actually I am most interested in hearing about other people's experiences because I…[Read more]
