| Hyperhidrosis
Does anyone else have a case of hyperhidrosis?
it's a very embarrassing and annoying condition.
I think I've had it for a while but it was very very mild before but it seems to have gotten worse.
When I play video games my palms sweat a little and I would get sticky sweat in my armpits and groin area a bit under my neck.
If I play Street Fighter and use an arcade stick it gets worse.
I can't even play iPhone games without getting a bit.
Hell, even using MS Paint/Photoshop makes me sweat!
God it's freaking annoying as hell. If I just showered and my friend askes me to play NHL online I usually have to decline.
Going to doctors next week and gonna ask about it. I hope I can control it.

There are a few things to try depending on your severity. If you have very minor HH, then you just need topical treatment such as Drysol. You apply it to areas where you want to minimize sweat. The next level up is oral treatment. Pills such as Avert will be able to stop sweating. Avert contains glycopyrrolate which will tell your nervous system to sweat less. The next level up is electrolysis. It zaps your sweat glands and will stop sweating for a period of time. You will have to repeat this treatment regularly. The last level is surgery which will pretty much work for sure but carries some risks of side effects.
In your case, Avert at 2.0mg taken once daily is a good option. Cheap, works very well with minimal side effects. Welcome to pharmacy.ca
I used to have HH, but it has mostly gone away after some years.

Is this purely psychological?
I mean it makes no sense that video games and photoshop can cause me to sweat.

I used to have it really bad in my underarms. It was the worst when I was about 15-22.. I used clinical deodorant at night before bed and it would help a lot. After a while though my body became immune to it I think because I started to sweat again. So annoying, armpits just cold sweating for no reason feeling all gross. It was embarrassing too so I would bring an extra shirt in my car and avoided grey shirts. Im 26 now and dont really get it anymore though unless I'm stressed or working hard.

Could it be your blood pressure rising?
Also, they can treat HH with botox now in certain locations on the body. Posted via RS Mobile |

I have sweaty palms and I'm pretty self-conscious about it.

My hyperhidrosis has gotten worse.
It's pretty much my entire body but most noticeable in the hands, armpit, neck and groin area.
Before it was things like playing videogames or photoshop that would trigger it.
Now it's constantly there!
It's not like dripping sweat but it's like...stick sweat? just enough there to make u feel uncomfortable. My body temperature rises too.
This latest development happened a few days ago.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck I can't live like this I got enough other health problems to worry about!!!
