Thank you! You do not know what it means to see this hell of a problem getting acknowledged by the internet's favorite doctor. We the hyperhidrosis sufferers have long been ignored or told thousands of times it's just sweating we shouldn't let it bother us.
Glycopyrrolate 1mg prescription has been a game changer for me. Suffered with sweating hands and feet. I was so embarrassed at school that I was turning in wet papers. Doctors had no idea what i had. Hyperhydrosis was unheard of. Now, at 48 Glycopyrrolate has pretty much stopped facial, hands, feet sweating
I've been a heavy sweater all my life, although I haven't been diagnosed by a doctor with a medical condition. For me, the most prominent area of swearing is my scalp. Unfortunately, this means that topical solutions aren't the most appealing.
Me too . I can't ever have a hairstyle because it sweats through. It's not crazy enough that doctors might not care it's frustrating. these options dont sound right for the scalp maybe botox but I don't know
I asked a surgical cosmetic derm to botox my scalp to stop the sweating on my head and was told there wasn't enough research to determine how much and where it should be injected, YET.
I take glycopyrolate. I’m an EXCESSIVE head and face sweater, as in hair is soaked root to tip. I actually only take it when I’m going to an evenbt, or something outside in summer and it works incredibly well-Life Changing. I can enjoy myself outside in summer, dance at a party, on and on without looking like l dunked my head in water.
Excessive face sweeting + sunscreen reapplication is one of my life annoyances lol! Powders over sunscreen helps a little though. Thanks for all the info docs ❤❤
Botox is the only thing I’ve tried that worked for my armpits. The first year I needed to get it every few months, second and third year only once, then I didn’t need it again. Fast forward about 10 yrs and into menopause, I started sweating again, but only about a 1/4 of how I had been, but now my issue is odor. I’ve tried EVERYTHING, and the most effective things to use for me are fruit based glycolic acids like Surface Deep anti-odorant spray (which worked for a year or so then stopped) and Megababe - The Cream Deo which is Mandellic acid, Lactic acid and Niacinamide.
I’ve used Qbrexza wipes for the last 4 years & had problems with dry mouth after using them. My dermatologist told me to use gloves when applying it & to use them every other day rather than every day & it works perfectly! No excessive sweat & no more dry mouth!
Can you please do a dedicated video on the inflammatory cascade and what happens in the skin when it kicks in? You've mentioned a couple of times that there can be inflammation in the deeper layers of the skin for a long time before any visible symptoms even appear. How does that work? How can someone recognize this happening before it gets out of hand? What are proven remedies for keeping inflammation under control? What are the effects of long-term inflammation on the skin? What are the most researched anti-inflammatory skincare ingredients? It would be very helpful! Thank you for the super informative deep dives!
I’ve had a sympothectomy. Twice!! Changed my life!! I was the worst case my doctor had ever seen! My hands dripped non stop and growing up I had to use a wash cloth in between my hand and my pencil while writing at school cause sweat would drip down my pencil and ruin my papers. I got the surgery at 16 and was the 4th person my surgeon had done it on. My hands no longer sweat ever! Such a blessing!!
Sweating doesn’t seem like a big deal but it really can be debilitating. My hands and feet are the worst parts for me. I remember doing homework was difficult, shaking hands is embarrassing. A few years ago, I realized wearing socks and closed toed shoes really helps the sweating in my hands. At home, I’ll wear socks at all times. It doesn’t stop my hands from sweating 100% of the time, but it slows it down a ton. It’s not a cure, but hopefully it will help someone else.
Me too. Also always embarrassed to shake someone's hand. It's like a dang disability. And the fear of holding on to a glass or another slick substance. Or even not being able to wipe your hands off. 😂
Same here. I don't like when people assume I'm nervous because of my sweaty hands. The only sandals I can wear are ones with the suede foot beds otherwise I slip right off of them.
WoW! From this video I learned- I probably have Generalized ,Not Primary hyperhidrosis. I am 52y/o female. I can remember from the age of 6 being wetter than other people. None of my relatives have it. At 12 when I started sports and that is when I knew- the other kids were not sweating like me. It was and still is "pouring" rain, compared to my teammates drizzle and dry hair and clothes. I have to wait a bit longer to take a shower, because I continue to pour. I would say stress, exercise, warm temperatures, and certain foods...those are my triggers to open up the flood gates. Thanks for educating this 52 y/o...now I know I am an "exceptionally" "normal" person- who is some what dysregulated- My husband loves me- even when I feel embarrassed - we still have fun. It is nice to know there's a medication available...and a correct way to use antiperspirant at night!! Who knew! Thanks guys!
I have had hyperhidrosis since I was a teenager, it started only in the armpits and I decided to do the sympathectomy, after that it has generalized to the entire body, except my hands, which are very dry. I have started with acne on my back and face after the surgery.
My now 10 year old tolerates the dermadry very well. According to her it’s tingly not painful. She first used it age 8 as her hand sweat would soak her writing paper and gripping a pencil was difficult and she would often slip over with slippery feet. (water would constantly bead or drip from her hands and feet). After just three uses there was a huge reduction in sweat. She now does one or two sessions every couple of months for her hands and feet.
I really understand why this could all be problematic for many, but as I have been listening to the different tools available for treatment very informative. I got to thinking about how your body cools down because you need to still be able to do that especially when it's hot outside and inside. Again good information.
I live in Europe and we don't have glycopyrrolate here. But we have another medication with the same effect - oxybutynine. And dry mouth is actually a really annoying side effect because of which i stopped talking it. Not sweating a lot is cool, but having problems with oral health - no thank you
Another subject, but you spoke about it in a previous video. Ivermectin. I thought you showed it as a cream-correct? Thanks for answering and for all of your videos! You guys are great!
My brother had excessively sweaty hands and had a sympathectomy, which was not reversible, when he was about 19. After a few months he started to suffer from severe compensatory sweating on his back, which has been much worse than his original problem. Thirty years later that surgery is still his biggest regret.
There is one more option. Similar to Sypatectomy. In this option they dont get rid of the nerves but they control the nerves with titanium clips. I went under this operation many years ago. It works for palms and arm pit, but not the soles.
It's all part of the general hyperhidrosis. The Qbrexa wipes have been a life saver for me. I use one for the entire front of my body, then turn it over and use it on the back of my body. I go from my neck to my ankles. It keeps my dry all day through humidity, exercise, etc.
After a Lupus diagnosis, I have this is in my hands and feet whenever I get hot. My body cannot properly cool itself. It’s extremely embarrassing and painful. In the Summer, I can not walk in sandals or even open a door knob. A lot of treatments available are not compatible with Lupus. I really feel for people struggling with this, Society is not kind.
When I workout my palms sweat really bad but not any other time. My grandson has one of these problems but I can’t remember which one but he sweats really bad! All four of the Ryne men sweat if they do anything. This was very interesting! Thank you! ❤️
My husband has tried all of them except surgery. He’s at his wits end. It’s the worst on his head and neck, he’s to anything to get it to stop. I feel so bad for him, because he’s had no luck on any of the treatments.
I use penoxyl under my arms in the shower, certain dri before bed, and I use crystal mineral deodorant during the day. This routine stops excessive sweat and oders under my arms.
Glycopyrrolate is so drying. Can it cause skin wrinkles and premature aging? I've been on it for 5 years and it has done wonders for my sweating (1mg, twice a day) but my skin is so dehydrated and I started looking "older" very quickly after starting it. Is it possible that this is from the medication? I'm still waiting to speak with a dermatologist. Thanks in advance!
For me it is my back, between my boobs, my legs, and neck. I tried antiperspirant spray on my back and it just made me severely itchy. So I bought body powder (corn starch) I still sweat through it. Problem is that I live in a VERY humid Caribbean island, but it just seems to affect me a lot more than the average person here. It's gotten ridiculous.
I am so glad you are hesitant on recommending a sympathectomy. They certainly do not only perform this surgery as a last result (particularly where I am in Australia). Please if anyone is considering this surgery, don't do it! It has completely destroyed my life and I am not the only one. It is even banned in its place of creation, Sweden, as it was causing such high disabilities.
Hyperhidrosis is the worst thing ever. Been a major insecurity most of my life. Someone recommended me to try Oxybutynin. It’s been a game changer. I do still sweat, but like a normal person now. You need a prescription. The only side effect is dry mouth, by I take it right before bed and when i wake up it’s gone. The results don’t last unfortunately, so it’s something you need to take daily.
I sweat a lot all over with even just a little activity due to a med I take. I hate it, but not taking the med would be worse (no good replacement available yet). 😕 I have used anti-perspirant in different places & it does help.
A doctor prescribed a very itchy antiperspirant to me when puberty began. It was necessary in the quality of life area with such sweaty armpits 😬 I'll be looking for a Q&A from thes doctors, @Doctorly! I have a scalp question and wonder how stress or the nervous system could affect the sweating and scalp scales. Cheers
Hello, I want to purchase the Remedy for dark spots, but it is only available in Canada and the US. Can you please open to shipping to European countries? I am based in Madrid. Thank you.
@@mattstone8878yeah you just dab it on to the face or scalp, but like I said it does burn and itch really bad there was even times where I had to wash it off right away because I couldn’t tolerate it
i have severe hyperhidrosis on my face and my head due to dysautomia and medications and I don't know what to do ): topical treatments don't work, medications give me a lot of side effects, I can't afford botox (also cause the area is wayyyy to big) and I don't know what to do and i hate it so much ): i know there may be surgical options, but i also can't find any surgeons in my area that insurence covers) (i live in Germany)
Iontophoresis worked great for my hands! Instead of an expensive machine I just use a 12 volt battery, aluminum pans, and some gator clips. Not medical advice, do your own research! 😁
Try Armoray antiperspirant wipes Such a great video! I wanted to share what’s worked for me, Armoray Antiperspirant Wipes. They’re super effective and keep me dry for a whole week. If you’re struggling like I was, they might be worth looking into!
Boyfriend sweats out the top of his head uncontrollably. We travel a lot and it really affects our plans because he simply - can’t get too hot . It’s so frustrating. Would Botox help this type of sweating he asks , or any other thoughts ? He even shaves his head to keep it cool lol
Honestly, he should just bring an extra towel or two when he goes out. He also needs to make sure he's drinking enough water to rehydrate while sweating. Sweating isn't unhealthy in of itself, it's one way the body rids itself of toxins.
Not that I needed more reasons to get Botox... But this pretty much does it. 36yo and my face has always been so sweaty I'm just so done with it. It's so annoying and embarrassing just to even have a simple conversation with someone. Thank you doctors!! 🫶
2 of my meds have excessive sweating as a side effect. i almost always wake up with a damp shirt, no matter what i’m wearing or the temp of the room. i can be freezing and STILL be dripping sweat
I perspire mostly over my body my core, and I don't have a fever and my hands and feet might be cold I sweat when I have hot flashes I am post menopause.
Hi doctors, I was on vacation in Phuket Thailand and I got K Botox, it was amazing. It lasted forever and I have never had anything even close to it in America. Is Korean Botox available in the United States. Thank you
Second question....I have had crabiofacial HH for some time now, and I believe it was triggered by years of wildly ineffective treatment with the whole gamut of new and old mental health meds. I've gotten off that path since it caused me nothing but side effects, but the facial and scalp sweating is making me more and more of a hermit. Just walking around the grocery store has my scalp, face, neck, and upper chest literally soaked. The rest of my body is dry/sweating a normal amount. I'm not short of breath nor do I have increased heart rate. I'm not in perfect shape, but I can certainly shop for food and go for walks without CV elevation...but I don't because I'm SO horrified. I've lost out on many job interviews because I'll go in and be soaked from head to chest, including my hair. That gives off a first impression that I'm dishonest and I'm distracted by the sweating. I've learned to dress in ways that hide it as well as possible and wear my hair up, but it's still pretty obvious. So I've even stopped going out with friends, church, and the thought of dating (which used to be really fun for me...most of the time) is just unimaginable. I've had Botox before for migraine headaches and it was extremely successful and I tolerated it well. Could Botox be used for this distribution? (Anxiety will make it worse if it has already started, but it doesn't seem to be the actual trigger...in fact, sometimes the sweating is the trigger for my anxiety, not the cause, I think!) Is compensatory sweating a large risk with Botox to the craniofacial area? THANK YOU so so much for addressing this on your TH-cam channel. You guys are very real and down to earth and many of your suggestions have helped me in the past, mainly sifting through all the products on the shelves as my sun-worshiping teen skin has come back to haunt me in my 40s. I appreciate you talking about it and reminding us hiding at home thar we're not alone, and maybe there's some hope of effectice treatment!
I have sweating but at night- why and how can I stop it? 😭 it’s like a bucket was dumped on me every night. 😭😭 (it may be from where I live too- will report back when I move in a month) Edit: wow, there are so many ways to treat this- the electrical currents in water sounds so cool!
I have tried the electrical machine. It really will work for your hands and feet. I know there's a company that also has one for the armpits but that one was not very effective for me
👋 Doctors! I do get sweating on my face armpit but it get rash hives . I had ti wipe it off fast before it turn red.. My dermatologist suggestion use 4 different towels when i do work out and change clothes . It work . Sweating how avoiding that ?
I have both hyperhidrosis, on the hands, feet and underarms. I also have ezcema and all the topical treatments have irritated or blistered (e.g. ionto) my skins. I'm on oxybutnin and im always tired and brain dead, but barely improved. My hands and feet are the worst 😭.
Is the use of anticholinergics long term safe for cognitive/neurologic well being over the long term? Choline is so important for mental status and functioning especially as we get older. I was unable to tolerate the oral anticholinergics because it dried everything else out...except my craniofacial HH. My dentist was actually the one who told me it wasn't for me because my mouth was so dry that it would soon be affecting my dental health. (And that's just my personal body chemistry. I'm sure it works well for many people without those issues.
What can I do if it’s excessive in many areas? I’m a teacher and it’s absolutely awful. All over my back, and every area you’ve mentioned. Scalp, underarms, groin, face.. it’s horrible!
My face sweats so much is annoying but after this video I understand it more and hopefully I can manage it better. That said, do you have any info on why sweat may increase when cold? For whatever reason I suffer from night sweats during the winter (I have no heating, so the bedroom actually gets colder in the winter) and despite my face being the issue most of the time, with this nightsweats is mostly my back, pits and soles that are affected. Any insight on why this could be happening would be helpful. (FYI doesn't matter what I am wear, warmer clothes or just a tshirt I sweat regardless during winter)
Could you guys do somthing for smelly feet? I swear my boyfriend has chronic food stink and his shoes/ socks will stink up the room and he definitely scrubs them good. My cat doesn’t even like it
I live in a humid town, and there are days that I dont have to walk much to start to sweat from my face and scalp... And the scalp part, oh... I have a fine hair and also alopecia (under control now) and I dont have to sweat much, it looks I toke a bath... So imagine going to work with my scalp like that, its embarassing... The under arm area, I started to use my roll on at night before bed, and it works very well, I dont sweat so much!
I have generalized, scalp-to-lower-abdomen hyperhidrosis, and nothing helps, even anticholinergics. If I take the max dose of 4mg/day or glycopyrrolate, I experience slightly reduced perspiration, but I get horrendous dry mouth that makes it nearly impossible to breathe, speak, and swallow water/food. It really is a quality of life killer. I want to do strength and cardio work, but I get terrible dehydration migraines no matter how much water I drink. I just can't keep up with the dehydration. It looks like I may be a strong candidate for sympathectomy, particularly where I have generalized hyperhidrosis, Raynaud, and facial blushing.
please dont do that surgery, i read a lot of horrendous side effects. oxybutynin and perspirex are two things keep my day dry although not 100% dryness. With someone has hyperhidrosis for basically for my whole life, this thing here is my main reason I lost a lot of opportunities. hopefully someone can create medicine specific for us with low side effects
I swear my phone Is listening to me ..I was just talking to my sister and on google talking about if I have this ! I thought it was still hot flashes but I saw somewhere that lack of sufficient vitamin D can be a cause ?
Idk if I have this for certain, but I 100% sweat mostly from my head, I have thick hair but short, so I don't see it being cuz of my hair, I sweat easily and hate going outside due to it, so if anyone has a similar issue to sweating in one place more the other, please help me out
What happened to your company selling tretinoin? Not very good advertising as your website for Script doesn't allow sign ups. Not a good way to run a company
Can either of your confirm or deny that if you take a prescribed SSRI, that it makes you sweat more and thus makes you more prone to dehydration? I heard this last summer and wonder if this is true? I take Muay Thai classes three times a week and it looks like I just stepped out of the shower when the hour long class that I take is up.
Hi Dr. Shah & Dr. Maxfield 😊 HELP PLEASE!! Two questions: 1) how can I stop over-grooming/skin picking? It seems like my pores just so get congested (like blackheads/closed comidomes) and using an extraction tool is too satisfying 😓 but this leads to hyperpigmentation! I’m already on 0.025% tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid, and taking an NAC supplement that’s supposed to help those who know they over-groom-any other ideas? 2) Dr. Shah-would you consider making a Remedy for Pores sans the retinoid? Many of us who are on tretinoin/adapalene really want to try it but can’t find a way to fit it into our routine! Thank you (for the videos and the ✨vibes✨) 🫶🏽

It is even banned in its place of creation, Sweden, as it was causing such high disabilities.
Hyperhidrosis is the worst thing ever. Been a major insecurity most of my life. Someone recommended me to try Oxybutynin. It’s been a game changer. I do still sweat, but like a normal person now. You need a prescription. The only side effect is dry mouth, by I take it right before bed and when i wake up it’s gone. The results don’t last unfortunately, so it’s something you need to take daily.
Yeah, I definitely have it on my face. I'm Australian so it's obviously worse in summer. Will talk to my doctor I guess
I had miradry done once and never came back for a second treatment. Will definitely consider returning, though
How much did it cost?
I sweat a lot all over with even just a little activity due to a med I take. I hate it, but not taking the med would be worse (no good replacement available yet). 😕
I have used anti-perspirant in different places & it does help.
A doctor prescribed a very itchy antiperspirant to me when puberty began. It was necessary in the quality of life area with such sweaty armpits 😬
I'll be looking for a Q&A from thes doctors, @Doctorly! I have a scalp question and wonder how stress or the nervous system could affect the sweating and scalp scales. Cheers
Hello, I want to purchase the Remedy for dark spots, but it is only available in Canada and the US. Can you please open to shipping to European countries? I am based in Madrid. Thank you.
My hair turned white when i was 14 years old.
Over time the quantity increases.
Is there any solution?
Pls help
I have craniofacial hyperhydrosis. My head and face sweat for no reason. Any tips?
I'm soaked while typing this 😅
I’ve used Drysol and it works but it’s so irritating while you’re wearing it’s almost unbearable but it does work
@@BryanLopez1 for the face?
@@mattstone8878yeah you just dab it on to the face or scalp, but like I said it does burn and itch really bad there was even times where I had to wash it off right away because I couldn’t tolerate it
@@BryanLopez1 Damn. I'll just be a sweaty bustard then.
i have severe hyperhidrosis on my face and my head due to dysautomia and medications and I don't know what to do ): topical treatments don't work, medications give me a lot of side effects, I can't afford botox (also cause the area is wayyyy to big) and I don't know what to do and i hate it so much ): i know there may be surgical options, but i also can't find any surgeons in my area that insurence covers) (i live in Germany)
Iontophoresis worked great for my hands! Instead of an expensive machine I just use a 12 volt battery, aluminum pans, and some gator clips. Not medical advice, do your own research! 😁
😂 Great thinking!
Try Armoray antiperspirant wipes
Such a great video! I wanted to share what’s worked for me, Armoray Antiperspirant Wipes. They’re super effective and keep me dry for a whole week. If you’re struggling like I was, they might be worth looking into!
Boyfriend sweats out the top of his head uncontrollably. We travel a lot and it really affects our plans because he simply - can’t get too hot . It’s so frustrating. Would Botox help this type of sweating he asks , or any other thoughts ? He even shaves his head to keep it cool lol
Honestly, he should just bring an extra towel or two when he goes out. He also needs to make sure he's drinking enough water to rehydrate while sweating. Sweating isn't unhealthy in of itself, it's one way the body rids itself of toxins.
Not that I needed more reasons to get Botox... But this pretty much does it. 36yo and my face has always been so sweaty I'm just so done with it. It's so annoying and embarrassing just to even have a simple conversation with someone. Thank you doctors!! 🫶
The face, under-boob, and groin areas are the worst. I have 3 prescription creams for when the rashes (from non-dry areas) begin. It's exhausting.
2 of my meds have excessive sweating as a side effect. i almost always wake up with a damp shirt, no matter what i’m wearing or the temp of the room. i can be freezing and STILL be dripping sweat
I perspire mostly over my body my core, and I don't have a fever and my hands and feet might be cold I sweat when I have hot flashes I am post menopause.
Hi doctors, I was on vacation in Phuket Thailand and I got K Botox, it was amazing. It lasted forever and I have never had anything even close to it in America. Is Korean Botox available in the United States. Thank you
People talking about sweating makes me sweat
Second question....I have had crabiofacial HH for some time now, and I believe it was triggered by years of wildly ineffective treatment with the whole gamut of new and old mental health meds. I've gotten off that path since it caused me nothing but side effects, but the facial and scalp sweating is making me more and more of a hermit. Just walking around the grocery store has my scalp, face, neck, and upper chest literally soaked.
The rest of my body is dry/sweating a normal amount. I'm not short of breath nor do I have increased heart rate. I'm not in perfect shape, but I can certainly shop for food and go for walks without CV elevation...but I don't because I'm SO horrified.
I've lost out on many job interviews because I'll go in and be soaked from head to chest, including my hair. That gives off a first impression that I'm dishonest and I'm distracted by the sweating.
I've learned to dress in ways that hide it as well as possible and wear my hair up, but it's still pretty obvious.
So I've even stopped going out with friends, church, and the thought of dating (which used to be really fun for me...most of the time) is just unimaginable.
I've had Botox before for migraine headaches and it was extremely successful and I tolerated it well. Could Botox be used for this distribution? (Anxiety will make it worse if it has already started, but it doesn't seem to be the actual trigger...in fact, sometimes the sweating is the trigger for my anxiety, not the cause, I think!)
Is compensatory sweating a large risk with Botox to the craniofacial area?
THANK YOU so so much for addressing this on your TH-cam channel. You guys are very real and down to earth and many of your suggestions have helped me in the past, mainly sifting through all the products on the shelves as my sun-worshiping teen skin has come back to haunt me in my 40s.
I appreciate you talking about it and reminding us hiding at home thar we're not alone, and maybe there's some hope of effectice treatment!
I have sweating but at night- why and how can I stop it? 😭 it’s like a bucket was dumped on me every night. 😭😭 (it may be from where I live too- will report back when I move in a month)
Edit: wow, there are so many ways to treat this- the electrical currents in water sounds so cool!
Wow, I'd see my doc.
@@teri2466I have but I’m seeing a diff doc soon so I’ll mention it.
@@batterybroken Good luck! 🤗
I have tried the electrical machine. It really will work for your hands and feet. I know there's a company that also has one for the armpits but that one was not very effective for me
Maybe Perimenopause or Menopause night-sweats?
👋 Doctors! I do get sweating on my face armpit but it get rash hives . I had ti wipe it off fast before it turn red.. My dermatologist suggestion use 4 different towels when i do work out and change clothes . It work . Sweating how avoiding that ?
I have inflamed oil glands on my chin . Any way you could talk about this please
I have both hyperhidrosis, on the hands, feet and underarms. I also have ezcema and all the topical treatments have irritated or blistered (e.g. ionto) my skins. I'm on oxybutnin and im always tired and brain dead, but barely improved. My hands and feet are the worst 😭.
Is the use of anticholinergics long term safe for cognitive/neurologic well being over the long term? Choline is so important for mental status and functioning especially as we get older.
I was unable to tolerate the oral anticholinergics because it dried everything else out...except my craniofacial HH. My dentist was actually the one who told me it wasn't for me because my mouth was so dry that it would soon be affecting my dental health. (And that's just my personal body chemistry. I'm sure it works well for many people without those issues.
What can I do if it’s excessive in many areas? I’m a teacher and it’s absolutely awful. All over my back, and every area you’ve mentioned. Scalp, underarms, groin, face.. it’s horrible!
My face sweats so much is annoying but after this video I understand it more and hopefully I can manage it better. That said, do you have any info on why sweat may increase when cold? For whatever reason I suffer from night sweats during the winter (I have no heating, so the bedroom actually gets colder in the winter) and despite my face being the issue most of the time, with this nightsweats is mostly my back, pits and soles that are affected. Any insight on why this could be happening would be helpful. (FYI doesn't matter what I am wear, warmer clothes or just a tshirt I sweat regardless during winter)
I only have this during sleep overnight.
Might wanna dig further into that with your doctor 😎
Could you guys do somthing for smelly feet? I swear my boyfriend has chronic food stink and his shoes/ socks will stink up the room and he definitely scrubs them good. My cat doesn’t even like it
I live in a humid town, and there are days that I dont have to walk much to start to sweat from my face and scalp... And the scalp part, oh... I have a fine hair and also alopecia (under control now) and I dont have to sweat much, it looks I toke a bath... So imagine going to work with my scalp like that, its embarassing...
The under arm area, I started to use my roll on at night before bed, and it works very well, I dont sweat so much!
I have generalized, scalp-to-lower-abdomen hyperhidrosis, and nothing helps, even anticholinergics. If I take the max dose of 4mg/day or glycopyrrolate, I experience slightly reduced perspiration, but I get horrendous dry mouth that makes it nearly impossible to breathe, speak, and swallow water/food. It really is a quality of life killer. I want to do strength and cardio work, but I get terrible dehydration migraines no matter how much water I drink. I just can't keep up with the dehydration. It looks like I may be a strong candidate for sympathectomy, particularly where I have generalized hyperhidrosis, Raynaud, and facial blushing.
If some one does hyperthyroidism and you sweat constantly! What do I do!? I feel like I’m constantly sweating..
Can you do a video on Accutane
please dont do that surgery, i read a lot of horrendous side effects. oxybutynin and perspirex are two things keep my day dry although not 100% dryness. With someone has hyperhidrosis for basically for my whole life, this thing here is my main reason I lost a lot of opportunities. hopefully someone can create medicine specific for us with low side effects
I swear my phone Is listening to me ..I was just talking to my sister and on google talking about if I have this ! I thought it was still hot flashes but I saw somewhere that lack of sufficient vitamin D can be a cause ?
I hate it when that happens 😂
It'd be great if you could interact or respond to some of the comments on your videos...
Idk if I have this for certain, but I 100% sweat mostly from my head, I have thick hair but short, so I don't see it being cuz of my hair,
I sweat easily and hate going outside due to it, so if anyone has a similar issue to sweating in one place more the other, please help me out
Watching this video with sweaty hands 😂😂😢
My sons hands are always sweaty! Poor guy
I used Drysol on my hands and feet years ago for a short while and I haven't had any problem with those areas since.
Life’s so much easier when you don’t have to worry about sweating all the time. Thank you Planet Ayurveda for Hyperhidrosis Care Pack!"
I was a heavy sweater and I have gotten both under my arms,feet,and hands. It definitely hurt but definitely worked.
What happened to your company selling tretinoin? Not very good advertising as your website for Script doesn't allow sign ups. Not a good way to run a company
Applying Salicylic acid to my underarms and other areas has been a game changer, I can go a whole day without any body odour
Does it work for hands and feet🤔
Im a little baffled they recomeded aluminum ... 👀
Sweating isn't the issue its BO
Can either of your confirm or deny that if you take a prescribed SSRI, that it makes you sweat more and thus makes you more prone to dehydration? I heard this last summer and wonder if this is true? I take Muay Thai classes three times a week and it looks like I just stepped out of the shower when the hour long class that I take is up.
Yes, this is one of the drugs that can make you sweat - it does me. I just drink a little extra water.
Hi Dr. Shah & Dr. Maxfield 😊 HELP PLEASE!!
Two questions:
1) how can I stop over-grooming/skin picking? It seems like my pores just so get congested (like blackheads/closed comidomes) and using an extraction tool is too satisfying 😓 but this leads to hyperpigmentation! I’m already on 0.025% tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid, and taking an NAC supplement that’s supposed to help those who know they over-groom-any other ideas?
2) Dr. Shah-would you consider making a Remedy for Pores sans the retinoid? Many of us who are on tretinoin/adapalene really want to try it but can’t find a way to fit it into our routine!
Thank you (for the videos and the ✨vibes✨) 🫶🏽
