I hope this helps and if you have any more questions pm me! I know this is long, but it may have the answers you need and you can probably skim through it pretty quick. Good Luck!

For hands and feet try this product https://shop.sweatblock.com/collections/sweating-products/products/antiperspirant-lotion-hands-feet You can also use a Iontophoresis machine. I would recommend doing your own research and choosing if you want that done.

Try to find dri-fit socks or quick absorbing socks. Put in sneaker balls between your shoe uses and try to have at least two pair to switch between. Use foot powder to decrease the sweat and smell. Works better than I thought just some non name brand powder would do.

For your underarms you can use Sweatblock https://shop.sweatblock.com/collections/sweating-products/products/sweatblock-antiperspirant Certain Dri https://certaindri.com/ Drysol https://www.amazon.com/Drysol-Dab-Extra-Strength-35mlx2boxes/dp/B079W2FNPQ etc. There are a lot of different anti-perspirants, but just as my own opinion trying a few, I recommend Sweatblock or Cerain Dri.

I found for blocking sweat Thompson Tees https://thompsontee.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1J6P7dz35AIVT77ACh1wwAMsEAAYASAAEgJDUvD_BwE are the best under shirt for me. There are different options to choose how you need the shirt. If I get a shirt with the right size they can fit under t-shirts and graphic tees type shirts. They work with polos, button ups, and long sleeve shirts great. If you get any I recommend getting one at a time to test your size and there is a return policy as well. You also want to wash these often or on regular wash days for you so they don´t just have mad sweat and stench just sitting in there. For me no matter how much I´ve ever sweated, I´ve never had pit stains with them. They DO NOT prevent smell for exiting or body odor from forming.

TRIM and not shave your armpits. I say this so the anti-perspirant can get to arms and and not be blocked by hair if it is long. The hair makes your armpit more hot and it makes it sweat more. It provides ventilation to dry your arm up quickly if you only have sweat on your skin and on a little hair. The sweat doesn´t just linger on you forever and stay there as long. Put on deodorant 30-40 minutes before you leave then re apply 10 minutes before just a little bit so it can start to get soak in your armpit and and keep that smell there to override the body odor and that re appy is so the smell is stronger and you can smell better. Don´t put it on too late or you´ll start sweating while walking and that deodorant still wet mixing in with the sweat will make your stains worst.

For inside of your underpants I recommend baby powder https://www.walmart.com/ip/GOLD-BOND-Ultimate-Men-s-Essentials-Body-Powder-Refresh-360-Scent-10oz/51176870?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1150&adid=22222222227038811169&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=90378248312&wl4=pla-182528769392&wl5=9012692&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112549851&wl11=online&wl12=51176870&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv-2g3t735AIVxsDACh2SdAYrEAQYASABEgLIGfD_BwE (Any powder should work that had good ratings though) . You also want to TRIM, not shave you pubic hair and butt hair. Trimming pubes should be nothing and should be fine but your butt watch out or you can get a razor and set settings to like 3mm to wear it isn´t short enough to itch or give rashes. Through out the day just wipe down there and maybe get a body spray without a strong smell and just spritz some to hide smell.

If you don´t workout, start. Get a membership to a gym or just do workouts at home. Find a workout plan and do those to build muscle and get in shape. Start running, when I started sweating when exercising I started sweating less. Drink plenty of water. I suggest getting a water bottle that keeps water cool so you can drink it after walks and when you need to. Eat the right foods, this helps but only when you eliminate all sugary and fatty foods and it isn´t that big a deal. Take showers daily and if you take them in the morning sit in cold water for about a minute or two to take your body temperature down. Wear a cologne to mask the body odor smell and to smell good. Try to find a way to be more comfortable because if you eliminate the nervousness in you, you will sweat a lot less. Use cologne in bathrooms before class and a neat trick I made is to put dryer sheets in your under pants, shoes, or if you tuck in an under shirt in there.

Botox is an option but it is expensive and repetitive, especially for a college student.

Edit : Keep those cheap mini fans you can find in walmart lines, or invest in a more expensive one thats still cheap to dry armpits and body

u/addocd · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

I've said this here several times because it is the one thing that has been the most helpful of anything to me. It only solves one problem, but it's a big one for me and will be for you. Get a small desk fan like This. It's a few bucks more but I have this one. It's rechargeable via USB. I keep it plugged in at my main desk most of the time. I have 2 setups at 90 degrees on my desk and I just turn it to blow on whichever one I'm using. Then, since it's battery operated, I can unplug it and point it at my hands or paper or project, whatever I'm doing anywhere else. I've even set it up to point at my hands when I'm using my phone. I work from home most of the time, but when I have to go to the office, its small enough to throw in my laptop bag and the battery will last the whole day on low (which is usually enough to keep me completely dry. My hands do get cold often, but it's worth it and it tends to cool my whole body. I'm grateful to work from home because most days I have to have (1) the ceiling fan on (2) socks on (3) my desk fan (4) a space heater (5) a hoodie and (6) a blanket...which has to be cotton because we all know what happens with a fuzzy blanket.

If you don't already, get some clinical strength deodorant. It's worth every extra penny to me.

As for the other options, you'll probably just have to try them one by one, trial & error starting at the easiest, least costly and least invasive. You can order glyco online (oral and wipes) and iontophoresis without a doctor. If one of those doesn't do it, see a doctor. If that doctor tries to tell you it's not a big deal, something you'll grow out of, or just doesn't seem to get it (it's pretty common), find another doctor. sweathelp.org Has a lot of resources and suggestions and explains all of the treatments. So far, the only thing that has worked for me is Botox. But it is expensive if you don't have insurance that will cover it. You may have to fill out some forms to ask them to. Botox also has some mild side effects that cause some temporary weakness in your hands. Depending on your job, that's something important to consider. It's also painful, but for me, only during injections.

If you browse around this sub, there is some good info on special tshirts and socks that people tend to find are helpful, especially for that underarm sweat. Wear black when you can, most of us do. If you're going somewhere you know you'll have to shake hands, put a papertowel in each pocket. If appropriate, it's better to go in for the fist bump if you can.

You may never be cured, but there are options and one may work really great for you. And when you find it, you'll know and you'll be equipped to support & help your kids through it (if you decide on them and) if they even get it. I'm pretty sure one of mine did, although not yet as bad as me. The other didn't at all. I've dealt with it for 42 years. It's still exhausting and enraging when I'm not full of Botox, but it does get a little easier as you learn that people don't notice as often as you think. I've said this before too. If someone is really put off and grossed out by it, they're probably not someone you want in your life or who's opinion should even matter to you. It's impossible to ignore, but don't let it define you.

u/idontloveanyone · 2 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

hey hey! it's funny because i went through the same problem.

I've been sweating from my armpits, back and chest for like 15 years.

5 years ago i discovered Driclor roll on (and certain dri is my go to actually), and i dont sweat from the armpits anymore :)

during those years i did try to roll on the roll on my back (unsuccessfully), and i did it on my torso but it didnt really help. too much area to cover.

then last year i tried the sweatblock wipes on my back: super hard to apply: did not work well either and i gave up.

now 2 weeks ago i found out about a spray (like you made with your driclor roll): i've been applying it to my torso and it pretty much worked. im plannig on applying a bit more in the next few days and maybe next week, and then see how long i go withtout sweating, but yes it does work.

now for my back! I managed to spray it on my lower back successfully, and when i go for a run now, my tshirt is drenched only in the top part of my back so yes it works!

I cannot manage to spray it on my upper and middle back though which is super annoying, but im going to ask a friend to do it for me in a couple days. it's embarassing, but he also sweats a lot so im sure he'll understand. im 99% sure it'll stop me from sweating so im excited.

only problem is how to apply it when my friend isnt here, ill have to figure this out...

here is the product i bought: there are other similar ones:
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00474JDJE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

sorry it's on amazon.FR but at least you can google similar products for your country

and pleaaaaseee if you find a way to spray that thing on your upper back please let me know how haha

good luck:)

u/LumpyBoobAttitude · 1 pointr/Hyperhidrosis

Yep, a basic foam pad. Honestly you could go to Ulta or probably even Walmart Target or CVS, they’re everywhere now. They’re little foam pads, sometimes they’re called “makeup sponges” but I’m using them for sweat so. 😂 you can get a pretty big bag for like, $2.99.

With that said, it may be wiser to invest in one of these bad boys because they’re definitely better for the environment and will save you money down the line!

I didn’t even know absorption pads existed so you have also really helped me out today!

u/Redwineshandy · 1 pointr/Hyperhidrosis

Ah okay haha. I was getting worried for a second. Buffpuffs can be pretty rough haha.

Oh okay you use the roll-on? That's actually one of the weaker options (12%) and is just aluminum chloride, baking soda to buffer any hydrochloric acid that forms from sweat reacting with the aluminum. Water and some rubbing should be enough.

I use this personally:
Secret Antiperspirant and Deodorant for Women, Clinical Strength Invisible Solid, Stress Response, 1.6 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TR9AK28/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MPk7BbCY6PWCN

The scent is unisex to me (I'm a guy) and lasts a longgg time. And the type of aluminum used is one of the more gentler forms. Goes on dry as a soft solid too. The liquid roll-ons are usually the most effective as they absorb deeper usually, like drysol and driclor (which have alcohol bases) but the wet application bothers me. And the gels take awhile to fully dry as well, even if they are a bit more skin friendly.

The one I use would need some sort of soap or cleanser to remove, but I wear it all day till my shower and you could definitely apply deodorant on top of it without washing it off beforehand.

u/DJPattySkank · 1 pointr/Hyperhidrosis

I think hyperhidrosis exacerbates skin conditions like eczema, especially on feet, because your toes will be exposed to damp conditions in shoes for very long stretches of time. I think the initial stages of iontophoresis are going to be very painful for you because of the raw skin, but I wouldn't be surprised if it helps with the eczema symptoms as well as the hyperhidrosis. I would start with very, very low current and use vaseline as others have instructed.

I would also suggest, before you start iontophoresis, maybe taking a week or two to really focus on healing your feet. Things that have worked for me include changing my socks (and best case scenario shoes as well) once or twice during work. I'll let my feet air out a little bit under my desk as well if possible trying not to draw too much attention. I've also found that slathering on gold bond triple action foot cream before bed (especially between toes which is where my skin would flake the most) helped immensely http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Triple-Action-Relief/dp/B001ET78HY

Good luck!

u/drewface1253 · 2 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

24m here. I tottally feel for you my dude. I grew up with bad sweating on my hands and then it started to transition to armpits but the face is where I get it the worst now. Like somebody noted, it's the emotional and mental toll that it puts on a person. I've always had anxiety and my social anxiety got really bad to the point where I couldn't take certain paths because I didn't wana see people.

So your thinking is tottally right, the root of the problem is the anxiety. I went to therapy for literally this specific condition and it was a struggle at times because my therapist who was actually really good would always touch on the point that accepting it is the key to feeling somewhat good about this. Through CBT methods and looking at it as not as the enemy, I was less able to get less depressed of this "flaw" I had. One thing that helped me is putting myself in really uncomfortable social situations where I basically know I'd be sweating and one of the reasons I did that is after reading this book, https://www.amazon.com/Badass-Ways-Anxiety-Panic-Attacks/dp/9090305262
Definitely helped a ton and I recommend it to EVERYBODY in this community even for those who don't have anxiety induced sweating like myself.

The real change though started to happen when I was consistently meditating. Unfortunately, I've had to take a break from it because of vertigo case I've been dealing with it so I was actually put on Lexapro until the vertigo is cleared up (I can let you folks know how that is). But with the meditation is where i started to notice a real genuine effect. You start to see your sweating problem as not the enemy anymore and you in a way transcend into it. Meaning that you become one with it and you sorta embrace it as who you are.

This results in caring less and less about when you do sweat. Slowly, you evolve into not caring as much and you start to sweat less. But that's not the goal though, if you need to not sweat then there's always going to be resistance and that's going to be a problem. Try meditation (Headspace), some CBT methods (online), and reading that book. I'm curious how you respond. Please let me know after a few months how you're doing! :) best of luck and I'm still sweating but as long as you can feel better about it, that's all that matters!

u/Engin3er · 6 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Hey Man--Glyco is great. Its life changing and can really help control your hyperhidrosis with a few other supplemental treatments. I highly recommend you try it, along with other supplemental practices, to get your hyperhidrosis under control/take control of your life.

I have pretty bad palmar/plantar hyperhidrosis, with a bit of axillary thrown in there. I lived with this for the longest time and used things to cover it up (folded pieces of paper when taking notes in class, avoid shaking hands, going to washroom to wash hands, etc.). After I graduated college, I decided to start seeking treatment for it, and went to a dermatologist.

My dermatologist prescribed me Glyco, and it gets it really under control. In addition to this, I started using prescription strength deodorant (use it properly, apply it before you go to bed at night, and then use normal deodorant for the day). With both these treatments, my hyperhidrosis is relatively under control.

Things to note about Glyco

  • Glyco will usually take 3 - 4 hours to kick in. If you take it around 7 - 8, it won't be effective until 10 - 12. For me it usually takes longer (4 - 5 hours) to kick in. A lot of people wake up at 5, take Glyco, and then go back to sleep. This way Glyco starts to take effect around 9 - 10 when you're in the office. My dermatologist recommended this solution to me, and it works wonders.
  • The first time you take Glyco or if you begin taking it again after a break, you may have a headache. Be prepared for this by drinking a lot of water and getting ready to end your day a bit early if you have to. (I work in a really stressful field and pull long hours at times, if I'm taking glyco after a break, I plan on ending my day at a normal time around 5 - 6).
  • Your mouth will be dry. Try using a hydrating mouthwash (e.g. Biodene) or gum. I keep a small bottle of biodene in my briefcase. Dry mouth = bad breath.

    • How bad is/was your Palmar Hyperhidrosis before any treatment? Did you drip?

    My Palmar Hyperdrosis was pretty bad. My hands were always clamy and if I didn't wipe them on my clothes/towels, they would start dripping. I also had Plantar Hyperdrosis and my socks would often be soaked by the end of the day if I couldn't change them.

    • How big of a dosage do you take to help your Palmar HH?

    I think I take 2mg. You will build up a tolerance, so you may have to up the dosage or take breaks once in a while (break = 1 - 2 weeks).


    • How effective he Glyco been for you personally with preventing you sweaty hands? Are they completely dry? Do they still drip? Are they just clamy?
    Its been extremely effective. They are dry most of the time, although stressful situations sometimes cause sweating. This usually stops. Clamy-ness is definitely gone. Before, even if I'm not in a stressful situation, my hands are clamy at best. With Glyco, hands are never clamy.

    Look luck buddy. Get this shit under control and your life will be so much better. Its worth putting in the effort to look up treatments and spend some time building habits to manage your own treatment (Look up Power of Habit if you need some inspiration!).
u/ntrent · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Maybe try chalking up your hands? like the chalk rock climbers use. I bought this stuff a while ago but it only works for really short amounts of times (5-10 minutes max). I've also used talcum powder and it works to some extent. Since its winter could you possibly wear gloves? I know this might get in the way of playing guitar. Anyways I wish the best of luck to you

u/sabiuz · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

You should definitely see a doctor about it if you can. Although, in many cases they won't be able to help a lot. But it's always best to make sure there's no underlying illness.

There are many products that you can read up on and try out if you haven't. See for example this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyperhidrosis/comments/aoofah/strongly_recommend_this_antiperspirant_for/

If you are concerned about the smell there are also a few things you can do.

For me, shaving my armpits helps a lot. I also started to always have a scented hand sanitizer around that I apply under my arms in the restroom. Something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/MediChoice-Sanitizer-Honey-Scented-Flip-Top-1314088300/dp/B079RLGMZP/ref=sr_1_81?keywords=Scented+Hand+Sanitizer&qid=1572279871&sr=8-81

u/AutomateAllTheThings · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

I have it at least as bad as you:

  • Pacifica makes wipes you can use to stay fresh between sweats. I find that they give me back my confidence.
  • I've begun wearing headbands and adopting an aesthetic that goes along with them. I helps keep sweat out of my eyes when I know that I'm going to do something that triggers it, and honestly gives a fashion excuse for the sweat which is nice.
  • A fan at my desk wherever I'm going helps me to have "stations" I can hop between during the day.
u/smilingtruth · 2 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Wow, this is really helpful! I'm glad I asked about the details. What pad things do you use in particular? Is it a foam pad? I usually go to class everyday so I'm back home late at night after an early rise. Have you tried leaving some sort of absorption pad between your feet and socks while wearing shoes?

u/how-am-i-not-myself · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

I am getting ready to try Sweat Block and Hydrosal.

I'll try to report back and let you know how they work, but it could be a week or two before I really have a good idea. I want to make the rounds with antiperspirants before I try anything more drastic. And if antiperspirants don't work, I may just try acceptance because I am concerned about some of the other options out there.

u/DudeIWantThat · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Cover the cuts fully with this - https://www.amazon.com/NIVEA-Crème-Unisex-Purpose-Moisturizing/dp/B00DEG8N9W - and it will prevent the water from getting into the cut and burning/stinging. Petroleum jelly (vaseline) can work as well, but Nivea Creme is best for sure.

u/no_sweat_dreamer · 2 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

I haven't tried it on my hands or feet. On the description, it says we can apply it on hands and feet as well. I do feel that it will work just fine but I have never tried anti-perspirants on anything other than at underarms. I just don't feel like doing that yet.
I take 4 tabs of Silicea 30X, 20 minutes after dinner with a mouthful of water. I make sure to dissolve the 4 tabs in that mouthful water and then swallow it and drink 1+ glass of water before going to bed. When I don't drink enough water, my throat and windpipe are dry in the morning (must be due to Silicea). I also make sure that I drink plenty water throughout the day and I watch the color of my pee. Even if it's slightly yellow, I drink ton of water. I also do Iontoderma sessions on palm and feet once per week. All these 3 things combined, I feel I sweat 80% less than what I used to. (If I can reach 100%, I would call myself a normal human)

I also have butt sweating condition, but as long as my Silicea 30X and water drinking routine is on, I have no sweating on palm & butt -- and very little sweating on the feet. Armpits is taken care of by Silicea and Perspi-Guard.
Here's the Silicea 30X I use

u/FreedomFoutzer · 1 pointr/Hyperhidrosis

As far as OTC/clinical strength antiperspirants, this one is pretty great. It's got aluminum chloride, but a lower concentration (12%), and has some aloe so it is more gentle than the others.

u/Spagett_About_It · 2 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

I purchased this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RTVKBB4

Someone posted about it over here, and I thought it was worth a try!

I'm a big fan of it (pun intended) and I find myself wearing it pretty often. Initially I thought it might be a little silly wearing outside of the house, but I definitely feel it's a lot less awkward than sweat dripping off my forehead. I even got some complements on it!

The battery on mine lasts about 4 hours before it needs a recharge. My girlfriend bought a cheaper one (I think $13?), and the battery lasts about 2 hours on hers.
