Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) at certain times of the week - what to use/do?

I have suffered from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for many years now, and I have been have iontophoresis treatments at the hospital for my hands and feet, and they used to work. Now I have had this done every month for a year, the effect is now minimal. There is no sweating for a couple of days, but then it comes back.


I have now noticed that during the week, I do not sweat at all or just a little bit. But, at the weekend, the sweating returns, and worse than it has ever been. My armpits now also sweat badly at the weekend, which they never used to before.


The only way of stopping this is if I go outside, then the sweating soon goes. As soon as I come back in, it starts again. It especially happens when I go to my room, on the computer, which I use quite a bit.


Even when I go and play tennis at the weekend, or do some physical activity, I hardly excessively sweat from these areas.


What can I do to improve this? Also, has anyone tried Maxim Sensitive Wipes? Any result?


Thanks

There may be a psychological reson for the hyperhidrosis and this could account for the pattern of its occurrence. The reason(s) may not be at a level of conscious awareness. For this reason, it could be useful to see a clinical hypnotherapist/psychotherapist who could help you to explore some of the deeper issues which may be affecting you.





Look in the corporate boxes in Yellow Pages and send for the therapists' information so you can choose a well-qualified person in your area to help you.

Reply:Hi there, I've been working in London Royal Hospital for around 12 years now and have seen this alot before. I have listed some common methods which you may want to try.





Weight-Loss: Hyperhidrosis can be aggravated by obesity, so weight-loss can help. However, most people with hyperhidrosis do not sweat excessively due to obesity





An aluminum chloride solution can be very effective; some people, however, cannot tolerate the irritation that it can cause.





Surgery (Sweat gland suction): A new technique adapted and modified from liposuction. On an out-patient basis with only local anaesthesia, the sweat glands are permanently removed in a gentle, non-aggressive manner.





Talc/Baby Powder: One temporary treatment is talc or baby powder because the powder will absorb the sweat, the only problem is, after a while the powder may become a messy white coating on the place of application.





Cold Water: The tounge has a health supply of blood. The cooling flow of water over the tounge would reduce the blood temperature and, overall, the body temperature.
