Don’t worry Janet, we all feel sorry for ourselves sometimes. It can’t be helped. 🙁
Sometimes, in summer, when my night sweating and back sweating are at it’s worst, I just wonder why my wife doesn’t divorce me already – although of course, she herself is being patient and understanding.

I hope that your bad hyperhidrosis spell has eased…[Read more]

I tried this approach over the past couple of weeks, and I didn’t really notice the difference. Sorry. :/

For me, meditation did not stop excessive sweat at all, so I can’t consider it to be a valid hyperhidrosis treatment. I’m glad to hear it works for you, Elena, but it seems to be an individual thing – either that or I’ve been doing something…[Read more]

I think the yellow water after iontophoresis is the result of some chemical and electrical reaction in the water… It could be the consequence of diffusion of metal in salty water. I have no idea if this could cause any harm to sweaty hands – somehow I don’t think so.

First thing that comes to mind: to stop water from getting yellow, you might…[Read more]

Why Maxim?

On the over the counter antiperspirants guide, it seems to be one of the weakest ones. Is this the reason why it is good to use Maxim for treating facial hyperhidrosis? Because it is not too strong?

But then again, if your excessive sweat is, well, too excessive, won’t you be needing the strongest antiperspirant out there? Or is your…[Read more]

Look, I don’t suggest anything, really. 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]

Jenny, are you sure you’re okay with applying Maxim Sensitive on your face? 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]

You should try different mA settings for hands and for feet – the important bit is that you need to feel a small tingling during iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis, because that’s often a sign that the treatment is working. (But you should never feel pain!)

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

I was mostly drawn by neat informative articles on the website. I think they offer an excellent overview of all topics related to hyperhidrosis.

I also joined to explore various treatment options – and I think I succeeded in figuring out the ideal hyperhidrosis treatment for my specific set of sweating problems. And it was interesting to hear o…[Read more]

Hi Chris,

For starters, you can try registering a full account here on Hyperhidrosis Network – that way the other users here will be able to contact you via a private message if they’re interested in buying an iontophoresis machine from you. Or you can leave some other way for people to contact you…

And I think it would also be a good idea to…[Read more]

Hi, Denise 🙂

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

..although that probably doesn’t mean anything to you since they’re for men – but…[Read more]

Yeah, I agree about trying out things, though you should also be careful not to disrupt your maintenance routine. Maybe try using the same current settings even with the new device? In any case, be careful. The summer is coming (this sounds like something out of GoT), and that’s not the best time of year to experiment with your hyperhidrosis…[Read more]

Well you see for me it’s psychological. I was relaxed when I rented a device, because I did not feel the obligation to keep it.

First of all, I don’t think it’s fair to order an iontophoresis device if you’re not serious about it. I would just feel like some sort of a fraud, giving them my money when I’m actually half-planning to take it back.…[Read more]

It was definitely not my intention to be insensitive or harsh or anything of the sort.

As Mary-Jane said that she is having success treating her hyperhidrosis with iontophoresis, and that we’re talking about an axillary hyperhidrosis (which I myself have, so I know what it’s like!), I gave the best advice I could. Maybe it wasn’t sugarcoated,…[Read more]

I was curious and tried adding lemon juice once when doing iontophoresis for my feet. I did not notice any special improvement, so I dropped the experimenting – as you wrote, better not to risk damaging the device itself!

As for my skin, there were no “itchy” or other unpleasant side effects. To answer your question, it’s neither yay nor nay……[Read more]
