Question: Hyperhidrosis--Do you have it & What Helps to Stop it??

Thanks

To be honest, I didn't know what it was so I "googled" it. Found tons of info on things to control it. Have you ever ordered any of the products advertized?

I had to google it too! I have seen prescription strength Secret at stores and I have used mineral deo with good luck. Good Luck.

DD(age 17) has it and we are experts. She has tried all the extra strength products and even a prescription deoderant (Drysol I think) Nothing worked.
Last year the FDA approvedd BOTOX for hyperhydrosis and her dermatologist told us about it. Wonder of wonders, health insurance pays for it .(her dr had to get preapproval and due to the severity of her case and how it affects her daily life it was approved).

She gets it done (shots under each arm) about every 6 months and it has been the answer to our prayers!

I got a prescription for Drysol from my doc, and it worked great! I actually only had to use it for a couple of weeks. Now I just use Ban.

I was also having a really bad sweating problem on my feet. It cured that, too!

Drysol stinks to me, though. It has formaldehyde in it.

Botox is really it....most other products don't work as well.
