I Have Horrific Head Sweats. I Look Like I’ve Just Washed My Hair, It Gets Soaking Wet. I Dread Going To Social Events.

Eastbourne, UK

It just starts sometimes for no reason, if I’m out it’s is so embarrassing , it’s depressing me as I no longer look forward to social events and find it’s really affecting my life. I have a family wedding in July which I am dreading because of it. All necklines of clothes get soaked . I am so aware of it all the time and feel very anxious. I haven’t discussed this with a dr. I find it very embarrassing.

Diagnosis/treatment

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Aberdeen, UK

What do I have to say to my doctor for them to take me seriously about my excessive sweating!! I want to try oxy or benzo or whatever but what do I need to do to get it? I’ve tried prescription deodorant, my skin is to sensitive for that.

Please help... I’m desperate like you

Facial Sweating

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lochans, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

Facial sweating is destroying my confidence to go to work, it's not classed as a disability and i have to endure working while sweat is actually dripping from my face, my hair looks like i've been swimming. Starting to become severely depressed in tears when i'm at home most of the time, could really do with some support and ideas about this.
