A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bronx, NY

I'm always hot, but had been sweating like crazy over a few months. The doctor seems not to care when I mention it. Is there any way, form, treatment I can use to feel relief? This completely changed my life. I am very aware of the constant sweating and feel ashamed to go out or even receiving visitors since no one seems to understand and tell me is menopause. I sweat mostly my head and face, get red, getting rashes under my breast and bikini line, vaginal infections since I get completely… read more
