Does anyone here have hyperhidrosis(excessive sweating)?

I first noticed that I sweated more than others when I was 13 years old. my hands feet and underarms sweat so much it was horrible. It only got worse as I got older, and after talking to my parents, I finally went to the doctor, after years of pills lotions, and everything, I finally went to a larger city and had surgery at age 17. I am now 19 and want to talk to people with this, and try to encourage them! The surgery help my hands and underarms and I am thankful that it all worked out!! I still sweat more than others but it helped and I want to help now. Thanks for your time.

I used to. It was AWFUL! underarms, so embaressing.my hands are mild, but its still there, i never took my jackets off, i had to work my whole life around it. till i found certain dri, in a magazine. thank God i never had to have surgery, i was definetly considering the option.im happy to hear yours was taken care of, i know its exiting,a load off your shoulders and i know how much it sucks to live with it.i recommend what i used to everyone, whoever i can help, i try.
Reply:Botox (botulinum toxin) injections can also help, They paralyze the sweat glands for a few months. It's not permanent though. But a good option for those who can't or won't have the surgery.





Botox might help you to take care of any residual sweating that you might still have after the surgery.
Reply:Yeah, but its gone now. Its not anything I would've wanted to attend a group for. Seriously, think about it. Congrigate a lot of sweaty people into a room?
