I just thought it would be helpful if I pointed out some potential drawbacks to using Maxim Wipes on your face. But hey, if this works for you, and has worked for you for some time now, then clearly you know better. However, I do think you should be careful about recommending these wipes as a facial…[Read more]

Here it says that they should not be applied on the face – and it especially warns against using the wipes on the eye area. To me, this doesn’t look like the safest way to prevent excessive sweat on the face.

Facial hyperhidrosis requires a lot of care and you have to be…[Read more]

(But you should never feel pain!)

Iontophoresis is really a hyperhidrosis treatment that needs some fine tuning. Not everyone…[Read more]

It’s been a while since I last used underarm sweat pads, but I don’t remember every seeing them in stores. I mostly ordered them from Kleiners website, and my favorite were these: http://www.kleinerts.com/enlarged-disposable-underarm-pads-for-men.html

Don’t think about it too much. Let things go naturally, go on dates, talk, spend more time together… Then, when the moment’s right, when the situation just comes up in which it’s convenient to spontaneously mention hyperhidrosis – you could mention it then.

When I used only antiperspirant on my armpits (Odaban most recently), everything was fine. Then, I bought Hidrex PSP 1000 and treated my sweaty armpits with iontophoresis. At first, it was still all fine, but when I applied Odaban too, my skin had some kind of weird reaction. It burned,…[Read more]

Hmm I didn’t know that about cornstarch vs. talcum powder. Sounds nasty. 😯 I’ll make sure to buy the right one in the future.

Anyway for the time being I focused on applying antiperspirants on my underarms. I use baby powder, but mostly on my back to keep my shirts from sticking to my skin.

Some of my friends are gossipy and immature, and confiding this to them could backfire sooner or later.

Not to be patronizing, but… It’s normal that we have all kinds of friends and “friends” when younger, but as time passes, try to filter these people, and keep only the nicest and best ones close. Of course if someone is immature it doesn’t…[Read more]

It’s still a new procedure however, so I doubt anyone can guarantee a 100% success rate. And what about the possible side effects? If all turns out to be good in a few years miraDry could be a real deal – I’ll give you that.

It seems to me it’s more like.. jaw-dropping costly! If I’m not mistaken, you can consider yourself lucky if you spend less than 2 or 3 thousands of dollars. 😯

To be fair, I don’t know very much about miraDry, so maybe it’s worth it. Did anyone stop excessive sweating this way? How long did the effects last?
