Hi I wear a bandana that you dampen and click when warm to cool again. You can get them from Amazon. I use when doing housework etc. At least it stops sweat from getting in eyes. Good Luck

I thought I was the only person who had this problem until I joined this group. The head sweats were so embarrassing it had become debilitating. I used to be active, enjoyed dancing, etc. but even going to the grocery store was a problem. I tried anti-persperants along my hairline, front and back, and that seemed to help a little. I put bandanas under a baseball cap to contain some of the sweat. A few months ago my doctor prescribed oxibutyn and it has gotten much better.

I had a botox treatment on my head recently and it helped i would say 75 percent, could put creme on my face without it getting washed off by sweat within minutes .
Now i am waiting for word from my insurance company if they will reimburse me for these treatments and pay for more .
One treatment only was 350 euro and i have this problem everywhere exept hands anf feet and underarms how weird is that

I sweat mainly from my head, feel like i just got out of the shower!! and look like a drowned rat!! drips down my back, right down. and yes when i get up , there is a puddle.....Oxy does not work for me at all, makes me space out then end up with a massive headache!!

Oxibutyn works for short periods only - for me. So if I have a special occasion on day Saturday, I take 20mg Wednesday, 30mg on Thursday, Friday & Saturday. By then it is working. Dry mouth but who cares! I’m 80%/90% dry. Did this last weekend in 33* heat (in uk that’s hot!), humid. I was outside, in shade, but busy supporting an artist doing signings. And I was DRY!!! It was even still effective on Sunday.
But if it take it all the time.... stops working.
Long live the face cloth!
