Toby started the topic Night Sweating & Antiperspirants β help! in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
I know it's a common rule to apply antiperspirants in the evening, after the shower, because that is when we are supposed to sweat less. That way, the antiperspirants have enough time to work their magic before we get sweaty. Okay, I get that, but what do I do when I sweat at night?
I have to deal with some excessive sweating during the day, and…[Read more]

I'm a bit late with this reply, but thanks guys!
Hmm I didn't know that about cornstarch vs. talcum powder. Sounds nasty. π― 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.

Leons started the topic Did anyone here try MiraDry? in the forum MiraDry Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
This new kind of hyperhidrosis treatment (or hyperhidrosis cure if it is really permanent) looks tempting but still has me puzzled. I'm waiting until other people's experience proves this to be the real dealβ¦
Please, if anyone here has some experience with this treatment, share it! π I would like to know if miraDry worked for you… Did you g…[Read more] -
Tim Fleiss started the topic Iontophoresis for Axillary Hyperhidrosis in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Hi!
I am looking for an advice. Did anyone here use iontophoresis to treat axillary hyperhidrosis? From what I read, iontophoresis is not typically used on sweaty armpits… BUT, since many high quality iontophoresis devices today have special sponges for armpits, technically it can be done. My question is – how well does if work? Does it stop…[Read more] -

Leons started the topic Baby powder and sweat stains in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
A big part of my excess sweating is centered on my upper body and I have problems keeping the stains off my shirts. Antiperspirants help to a point, but eventually I always end up with wet, sweaty armpits. Trying to figure out how to stop underarm sweating, I heard that baby powder can help with this β especially if antiperspirants aren't e…[Read more]

Toby started the topic Sweating at night in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
A few weeks ago I mentioned my problems with night sweating, partly due to my overactive sweat glands and partly due to the fact we don't have an air conditioner in the bedroom. Since then, my night sweating got even worse.
I've grown extremely tired thanks to waking up 3-4 times every night. Changing my clothes doesn't help, because the sheets…[Read more] -

Seems like we might get detailed information about miraDry from the company itself!
Our webmaster wrote to them and is trying to conduct an interview that might shed more light on the specifics of this hyperhidrosis cure.
See more information here: http://hyperhidrosisnetwork.com/miradry-talk-to-hyperhidrosis-patients/I would love to hear more…[Read more]

Tim Fleiss started the topic Compensatory Sweating in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
From what I understand, compensatory sweating is only supposed to happen as a consequence of ETS – hypohondrosis surgery. I wanted to check if this is true and would appreciate if you can write your own experiences.
I would like to be absolutely positive that compensatory sweating doesn't happen if you use:
– clinical antiperspirants

Hello! Aruna gave you a good advice: that's the best course of action.
However, if it turns out that your school or professor show no understanding, you can always use latex gloves as an emergency tool. It's highly uncomfortable, I know, but if your sweaty hands aren't literally dripping, you might be able to pull of shorter exams this way. Just…[Read more] -
Toby started the topic Excessive sweating as a symptom of serious medical condition in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
I do not have a “serious medical condition”, but recently I read a story of a woman who thought she had hyperhidrosis, but it turned out her sweating was caused by a dangerous liver malfunction. This story scared me and reminded me how excessive perspiration can be a sign of a serious health problem. I had consulted my physician earlier and know…[Read more]

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]

Leons replied to the topic miraDry in the forum MiraDry Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
All right, that's true – a price has more sense if this hyperhidrosis treatment offers a permanent solution. 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.

That's an amusing advice, Jenny… I can see how it can be useful, especially as an antidote for sulking. π
I have one thing to add to that: don't get carried away!
I'm sure this works lovely when kept under control and used in very small doses. However, if it gets out of hand you might end up constantly frustrated because of your excess…[Read more] -

Fairly expensive? 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. π―
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?
