Members connected over the frustration of excessive facial and head sweating, sharing how it affects daily activities like shopping, working as a hairdresser, and even sleeping beside a partner. Several members described finding relief with Oxybutynin at a maximum dosage of 20mg per day, though one member noted it didn't work for them, while another shared a practical makeup tip using CVS pore filler under foundation to help sweat roll off rather than soak in. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of the condition, with members describing feelings of embarrassment, looking washed out, and being mistaken for being sick or an addict by others who don't understand.

i have found nothing that stops the sweats !. but. CVS makes/ sells a pore filler which goes on face under foundation if you choose to wear.. this causes my sweat to roll off of my face & helps to keep all of my makeup intact.. still i dab( not wipe) sweat away but this has been a great find!!
