I Have Horrific Head Sweats. I Look Like I’ve Just Washed My Hair, It Gets Soaking Wet. I Dread Going To Social Events.
A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Facial Sweating
A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Facial sweating is destroying my confidence to go to work, it's not classed as a disability and i have to endure working while sweat is actually dripping from my face, my hair looks like i've been swimming. Starting to become severely depressed in tears when i'm at home most of the time, could really do with some support and ideas about this.
