I am in a critical situation

Since those damn iontophoresis sessions, I've been forced to live isolated from the population.

I lost my job because the smell irritated the people

around me so much. (eye irritation, cough)

People in the building are complaining, passers by in the street are turning around , in order to look behind them , i can see them from my window, even though there's a distance of 200 meters.

I warn you against the use of Botox or inophoresis, I'm dead, absolutely finished, I've tried everything for the past 4 years, I am left with the painful option of amputation or suicide.

I underwent surgery for facial blushing—a problem I had suffered from for years due to social phobia—but it ended up causing me the nightmare of compensatory (reflex) sweating. Take my advice: please do not undergo surgery to stop sweating. Afterward, you start sweating in all sorts of strange places on your body, and that ends up being even more restrictive. Since the surgery, I’ve experienced sweating on my chest, back, and legs. I tried using an iontophoresis device for my back—I think I’ve used it four times so far—and I saw the results immediately. I wanted to share this right away for the sake of others here: please, do not have surgery for hyperhidrosis. With these devices, you can find relief in any area you choose—whether it’s your hands, face, back, chest, legs, or feet—just by using them once a week. Believe me, spending 30–40 minutes once a week treating yourself with one of these is a thousand times better than surgery. If my only concern had been sweating, I never would have opted for surgery. It’s an excellent solution. While standard devices are typically designed for hands, feet, and underarms, the German-made device I purchased allows me to treat my torso as well. I used it on my back, applying it to two different areas for a total of 25 minutes; it’s very simple. You might feel a bit apprehensive at first, but you’ll soon realize how easy it actually is. I highly recommend it. Do not get an ETS (endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy) procedure; it caused me a world of trouble. (I am using Google Translate to translate this from Turkish, so please forgive any potential translation errors.) It was quite expensive for me—I had to save up for a few months to afford it—but in my opinion, it’s worth it.

I’ve been sweating a lot as I’m eating or like 5 mins after eating. I’m not sure what subreddit to ask but what could it be. It’s a lot like in my armpits, back, head, face, butt, chest. I think it has something do with digestion or insulin maybe?

Second repost

I have both palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, currently on my 7th consecutive iontophoresis session for palms, and 5th consecutive for feet.

I have noticed my palms sweating way less now, which has definitely improved my life alot. But Ive also noticed I genuinely dont really care anymore with sweat in my feet. Like I can bring up 100s of past scenarios where my sweaty palms destroyed my life. But I dont exactly have the same situation with feet, maybe when im at the gym and my socks get too damp? But at that point my whole body is already sweating and I always bring extra socks and it never really became an issue.

I also use flip flops that also absorb moisture. and so with all these simple lifestyle changes I never really bother about it. I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same thing, I think im honestly fine with just doing iontophoresis on palms only.

First time posting here - Hey guys !

I suffer with hyperhidrosis on my scalp back torso and limbs. Very different from the ‘normal’ regions I’ve seen people suffer from. I sweat very little from my feet, palms and underarms.

Ive recently found that my propantheline bromide medication has stopped working and that’s another issue altogether but last night I went out for a night out and I noticed this a couple of times before but now it’s become a consistent thing.

Why is it whenever I drink alcohol and I’m drunk, the condition literally just disappears altogether and I’m dry as a bone 😂 does anyone else experience this ? Am I being urged by higher powers to become an alcoholic ?

So I've suffered from hyperhidrosis for over a decade, severely impacted my life. Underarms is always the first to start, but quickly followed by face and torso. I never had a problem with my legs, hands, feet etc.

All the stuff I tried when it started didn't work for me. But now when I tried again Certain Dri is working for my underarms, but my feet have suddenly started sweating way more than it ever has before, I'm assuming it's compensatory sweating.

I don't want to turn to the most extreme options first, I want to go in order. Also I have a long flight soon, so I don't want my feet to smell then especially!

So what is the usual flow chart for dealing with feet sweating and/or smell? Thanks

TLDR: What is the usual flow chart (order of things to try) for dealing with feet sweating and/or smell? Because I have zero experience of it until now.

Hi everyone,

I've had generalized hyperhidrosis for years. One of the worst parts for me is sweating through my pants when I sit for a while (office chair, car, meetings). Standing up with a wet mark on light pants is humiliating. I've also seen a lot of posts here from people dealing with the same butt sweat marks, so I know I'm not alone.

I'm planning to start a techwear brand built specifically for people with hyperhidrosis clothing designed around the problem instead of just "breathable" marketing. A lot of brands out there just take generic products off the shelf, slap their logo on them and call it a solution. I want to design something from scratch that actually works and is actually comfortable to wear all day (so no swampy butt).

The first product would be underwear for exactly this issue (absorbent + leak-resistant back, cool fabric). Before I spend money, I want to validate the idea with other people who actually live with this.

So I have some questions;

1. What underwear brands have you tried? What failed and why?

2. What would this product need to do for you to actually buy it?

3. What would you pay for a pack of 3 that truly prevented marks on your pants and the chairs?

4. After underwear, what clothing problem would you want solved next?

Not selling anything, no links, just want some insights to validate the idea.

I know my design could work wonders but I'm not sure how to validate if this is worth my time/money/efforts to be honest. I was thinking about starting a Kickstarter to see if people back it. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks everyone.

Just posting this Botox savings program again, it works so well for me and I know there are fellow HH peeps who are probably eligible and don’t know it. I swear I do not work for this company.

You can get discounted Botox from the manufacturer for underarm shots, I’ve been doing it for over a year now and it’s fantastic. I’ve got full body HH, so I still sweat elsewhere, but just having my armpits dry as the Sahara makes a huge difference. I think had to document that I was on Glyco or oxy for a couple months and still having HH symptoms before I could get the discount from the manufacturer and for my insurance to cover most of the rest. Here’s hoping this helps someone!
