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?
Sorry, no personal experience here, but I have p…[Read more]

Wallace Trent replied to the topic When did you first notice hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Interesting how those of you with excessive underarm sweating didn't realize at first that you have hyperhidrosis. And yes, actually that makes sense since armpit sweat is a common thing.
I have palmar hyperhidrosis (and my underarm sweating is above average, I'd say), and I noticed something's wrong when I was about 13 or 14. My brother also…[Read more]

Do you shave your underarms? You should take that into account when choosing. I’m not sure roll-ons are practical if you are hairy there.
Hey man, I'm not answering that! Just joking… =D I keep it trimmed, seems like a happy compromise for a guy with sweaty armpits. 😳
I looked up Obadan and it seems promising. Apparently the spray is f…[Read more] -

It seems that palmar hyperhidrosis runs in our…[Read more] -

Underarm sweating isn't the worst aspect of my hyperhidrosis but I still need extra protection there. Over the last couple of months I used Maxim antiperspirant – it is not that expensive and worked well enough.
Now summer makes it difficult to stop underarm sweating and I could use something stronger. Any recommendations? I thought about…[Read more]

Wallace Trent replied to the topic Have you tried Iontophoresis? DId it work for you? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
It works for me!
I have my own iontophoresis machine – an old analog Fisher. Currently I only use it for maintenance: once a week for my hands and twice a month for my feet. As far as I'm concerned this is the only hyperhidrosis cure I'll ever need.It took me a few tries until I had successfully completed the initial series of treatments with…[Read more]
