Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where one sweats excessively without being able to control it. The place of sweating including face, scalp, palm, feet and armpit. In severe cases, the sweat will be dripping like you are taking bath.
I have this problem too. especially my head which includes scalp and face, sometimes my palm and feet do sweat excessively as well. I have tried the antiperspirants etc which did not work. Now I'm trying D.O.M which there is a woman who claim that she stop her sweating problem with it.
Anyone experience such problem? how do you deal with your excessive sweating?

Me and my friend sweat excessively. That's why we sit infront of the fans everytime when we were back in high school. We couldn't help the excessive sweating, so we had extra shirts with us, and we would change shirts twice, once in the morning, and once in the afternoon.

It's bad that you guys are experiencing such medical condition as well. Bringing some extra clothes for changes is a good idea, but I would not wear two clothes at the same time as it increases my sweating rate.

hello,
yeah, I heard this kind of condition and I think you have to see a doctor for some subscription because the doctor will probably advice you on how you handle that condition. alright? My body is not that sweaty in times of hot weather and when I sweat it is just armpit and back and face. That's it.

I am not that sweaty really. but I My armpits and other things are really not that sweaty. I think the best thing that you can do is go to a dermatologist. I know that it can be a bit expensive sometimes but it is worth it as long as you go to a good dermatologist. I think they also offer free consultation. Excess sweating can be a symptom for something else. I think it is better if you are sure that its just sweating.

I'm pretty sure that is mostly due to the inherited sweating problem. But I do realize at the same time that I sweat a little bit more than my siblings. Perhaps it has something to do with my heart. Because I get to feel tired easily.

That is a bad problem you have. I don't have this excessive sweating issue but I've read through some article online. What I got was that emotions can affect how much you sweat as an excessive sweater. If you care about your sweating too much, you might as well cause yourself to sweat even more. So try to be positive about sweating and don't think of it as big deal. I believe you would sweat less then ^_^
