Sweating And Weight
A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Not just little sweats, like "oh boy its hot' I mean constant running down my face, head , neck, hair dripping like i have just got out of the shower.
I am a hermit now, i hate being like this, and dont want anyone seeing me sweat… read more

What Are The Best Treatments For Hyperhydrosis?
A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I tried Iontopheresis (for my hands and feet) and whilst this worked it didn’t completly stop the sweating so my dermatologist recommended botox. I could only have it in my hands and it only worked for 2 months. I have also tried medication but it made my mouth so dry i had to stop. What other treatments are available? And what treatments have people found to be the most effective?

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member

Do u need a prescription for that.
