It just starts sometimes for no reason, if I’m out it’s is so embarrassing , it’s depressing me as I no longer look forward to social events and find it’s really affecting my life. I have a family wedding in July which I am dreading because of it. All necklines of clothes get soaked . I am so aware of it all the time and feel very anxious. I haven’t discussed this with a dr. I find it very embarrassing.
Thankyou so much . You have been very helpful
My Gp is not very helpful so looking for recommendations for constant sweating head and soaking hair please. Thank you
My hyperhidrosis is very similar to yours Mernie. My doctor recently placed me on Clonidine. It is used for seizures but, one of the side effects is that it causes you not to sweat. Finally, NO… read more
Mine starts on my head and can actually feel it spreading out within my hair (like a puddle eh water getting bigger) then it's as though the moment it starts between fringe n brow line a sudden showers switch on using maximum pressure, within a minute (2 at most) I drenched(no joke when a say head 2 toe) what's worse this can last for as long as it decides it wants to stop, the longest it's lasted was at least 30 odd hrs continuos. What drives me crazy most, sum1 I know pickin me up (knowing… read more

I get hot flashes continuously, which always comes with going red and sweating so bad my clothes soak in minutes. If it's chilly outside steam will actually come off my head. Been tested for so many things and seen soo many doctors who have all given up on me even though they've seen it. My head and face are the worst though. It's a constant drip, it's ridiculous. I hate leaving my house. Anyone deal with something similar? Also im 26 years old 5'0 tall 220lbs.
Thank god you folks are here I thought I was the only one who couldn’t wear makeup or go to certain events My head is like a leaky faucet, drip drip drip soooo embarrassing.
Has anyone heard that the medication used for treating hyperhidrosis can lead to memory loss. This is what my dermatologist told me. I’m 71 so worried about this possible side effect
Which medications was your dermatologist talking about? I had not heard this yet but I too am interested.
I have it on my head, only. Within a very few minutes my head will be drenched. I look as if I just stepped out of a shower. The looks I get from people upset me but I can't go outside or this… read more

Let's hope we can… read more

I have addressed with gp and was sent for bloods to check just… read more

I've had hyperhidrosis for more than 15 years. I find most Dr's don't know anything about it. I did try the med. (can't remember the name) it didn't help much and it made me feel weird. I have been on different help sites and it's pretty much the same questions with really no solutions.
