Wow, I am thrilled to have found this board. I've spent the past 3 months wasting my time with a so called dermatologist at Northwestern Memorial. I told her of my drenching head and face sweats and she acted as though she had never heard of such a thing. I left my first appt in tears, feeling hopeless and so alone. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone and that this condition really exists. I'm SOOO tired of being asked "is it pouring outside?" when people see my soaking wet hair, face and neck. Yes, this happens ALL the time if I am out shopping somewhere. The other day at Target, the 20-something cashier actually offered me a roll of paper towels to wipe the sweat off my face. I was MORTIFIED! I had thyroid cancer 3 years ago and am on Synthroid. This derm continues to blame all the meds I am on for the sweating, however I've had the sweating for at least 5 years now when I was not on any medication. Why do doctors treat us as though we don't know our own bodies??? Frustrating. I tried propanarol (Enderal) to no avail. My sweat is so awful that it actually strips the haircolor from my hair. Anyone else have that happen? I'm so desperate that I am considering the ETS surgery which cuts the nerves. Has anyone had it done? Please write and share. I would be happy to trade emails with others suffering from this hideous condition, spodee1989@gmail.com One final thing, I carry around a washcloth in my purse if I leave the house. I call it my sweat-rag. It sure has come in handy this summer, though I use it in winter also. I too do not wear a winter coat and I live right by the lake in Chicago. MAC cosmetics makes a wonderful spray mist which I spray on my face to calm the sweating -- it is called Fix+. It has very soothing ingredients in it and smells nice too. Wishing you all sweat-free days! Cheers! Greetings from Chicago!

I'm 43 y/o male and can remember different times in my life where other parts of my body sweating alot. For a couple of years growing up my feet sweat like crazy. I constantly had to changes socks tyring to keep them dry. When the feet sweat went away my hands started up. I had wet hands everyday for a month and would constantly drip. I would keep a paper towel in my pocket for my hands. I'm not sure how the feet and hands stopped (20 years now) but it has. The only problem area is the face, scalp, back of the neck. The facial sweating has always been there from atleast 8years old. My mother had the problem and I remember a time she had to give a talk in a social setting and she was dripping <a href="http://www.megadry.com" title="Excessive Sweating">buckets of sweat</a>. When I see people in social situations (speaking to crowds of people) I'm amazed they are perfectly dry while they're speaking...very unlike me. Facial HH is the worst because everyone looks at your face. You can hide your hands, feet, wear a jacket pants etc. But how do you hide your facial sweating...its the worst!!!

I feel horrid because my problem is not so severe all the time though. My only complaint would be that i'm 16 about to be 17 and i do not wish to be dealing with wiping sweat off my face when its not even hot. In church even when i pass up to the front i begin to sweat and i constantly have to wipe my face. My makeup can stay in tact for some time so i suppose its not as bad as it could be. But, i have other problems that have lowered my self confidence before. I suffer from acne and i'm afraid that if i start any treatment for my sweat problems it will interfere with my acne treatment. I'ts quite horrible to be dealing with this. Im the only one <a href="http://www.megadry.com" title="hyperhidrosis">sweating</a> in a room when everyone else is perfectly fine. Also i have many people tell me i'm pretty and so everyone looks at me all the time. Since i have been at church everyone has always admired me for the way i dress and the things i say, so it's hard that everyone looks to you and for what?? to see that your wiping your face every minute because you can't stop sweating!! :( i will make an appointment with a dermatologist to see what we can do...i'll get back with what he says ^_^ thank you for listening....or rather...reading ahaha. i hope each and everyone of you finds your answer. i'm sure you all will. God bless you very much. ^_^ bye wow, i feel happy to know that i’m not the only one with this sweating problem. I feel horrid because my problem is not so severe all the time though.

It has gotten to the point that I panic when I have to go in public, immeaditly sweat starts dripping off of the side of my head and before I know it the entire back of my head is dripping in sweat. I too can no longer put lotion on or even face moisturizer because it melts off, I live in Chicago and even when its 20 degrees this happens to me, it really sucks.

I have tried everything short of taking a pill or surgery. I have tried eliminating salt, drinking more water, etc.I do not allow the fact that I sweat so much keep me from enjoying my life though. I admit I am not able to wear makeup, cause I sweat it right off, even the waterproof kinds, can't wear certain hairstyles because of my hair getting wet from the sweat and I always have to carry something to wipe my face with but over all I feel it is a small issue compared to other medical problems I could have.

I'm 21 and I had this <a href="http://www.megadry.com" title="Sweating Problem">sweating problem</a> since middle score or before. I had not had a girlfriend since 10th grade because its gotten worst. I have been very selfconcious for this to the point that for the last couple of years i have alienated my self from the world. I cant even make eye connection with someone because the second I do I know I will start to sweat if Im not already sweating. I been told Im good looking by someone else that is not my mother but the sweating just makes me feel the opposite. Anyways after reading this Blog I realized that I could have a worst problem and I should be thankful for my health and thanks to this blog and going to try my best to live my life and just deal with it as to many other problems that I have. Besides no one is perfect we all have problems some worst than others but the best thing we can do is deal with the not let them take over your life. Like i did for so many years. thank you everyone for this blog it helped me alot. Hey I feel relieved that I’m not the only one with this condition.

I'm 32 now and my sweet <a href="http://www.megadry.com" title="sweating problem">sweating problem</a> started when I 25 just before I joined the military. I think it might have had something to do with a hiking event I did with some friends in yosemite. My friends didn't bring any water and I shared mine and ran out on a 96 degree day climbing half dome. The sweating started sometime within the next couple of months and its pretty crazy how much I can sweat from my face neck back and chest and if I raise my arms my armpits are 100% dry like a brand new shirt lol. God I would kill to be one of those pit out guys at this point. I'm a chiropractic student now and if someone is evaluating me or I'm a little nervous about a new move or just there I'm constantly wiping my face and have even dripped on a patient before its awful. Ive tried hypnosis, odaban 20% alcl, glycopyrrolate, proponolol, some beta blocker and antidepressant/anxiety (if you don't really have anxiety or depression that is not a good experience take it from me WOW scary side effects) ive even tried acupuncture and pressure points and breathing exercises and nothing... considering trying to make an iontophoresis unit for my face with bucket and face mask snorkel combo lmao or just jumping in a pool with a live wire JK but seriously I have my 5th or 6th doctor appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping for something awesome!!! Good luck everybody and if I make that iontophoresis thing I will be back with a video on how to do it yourself on youtube! Take care! If anyone wants to chat about it or whatever im on yahoo messenger benjaway@yahoo.com and that is my email too so feel free to say hello just be sure to head it with something about sweating so I dont delete it!

(AFTER putting on my makeup nice, a nice foundation of power w/a suntan gliiter, waterproof eyeliner & mascara. Honestly nothing helps!
