I teach high school, and the last thing I need is to have wet, sweat soaked armpits. I started going to a dermatologist a couple of months ago. I have tried all the deodrants and anti-persperants. My doctor also tried several pills. I am now looking into botox. My doctor is checking to see if my insurance will cover it. I am completely willing to pay even if it is not covered. Do you think there is a chance it will be covered? I only recently started having problems with severe armpit sweating.

I'm 13 years old, and I have major excessive sweating. It is horrible, and I have read everyones advice. I have tried almost everything that everyone has recommended, EXCEPT for the surgery. My mom is completely fine with me getting the surgery. I found one doctor, but he said no because I was to young. I'm sure he has well reasons of why to not treat me, but this is my last hope. This condition is SO embarassing, I wear a sweater everywhere I go. I'm even failing gym class cause I don't partisapate. This wicked condition is ruining my life. Drysol doesn't work, anti-persperants, deodorants, Certain-Dri, nothing works! So, please if anyone can help me find a doctor in Canada that will treat a 13 year old who has been going through excessive sweating for more than a year, I will just love you so much. It will definatly change my life. Please Help. Heey. I’m 13 years old, and I have major excessive sweating. It is horrible, and I have read everyones advice.

I've tried everything from baking soda/vinegar/lemons to Certain Dri and nothing seemed to help until my doctor gave me a prescription for the product HyperCare. It seems to be working so far. I just need to keep my armpits clean and bacteria free and I use Noxema or Tea Tree Soap a few times a week for that!! The HyperCare burning is not bad like Certain Dri either!! It's a prickly! type burn! HyperCare has a small attached sponge that's used for applying "dabs only" of the product to the skin at night time. It's used for 2-3 nights and then you can go without sweating for days!!! It's not a roll on like Certain Dri and other products. HyperCare is not expensive at all either and it last a long time. I hope that you can purchase HyperCare and I hope that it works for you!! Good Luck!!! **Don't forget, to only wear cotton shirts too!!!!*** Samatha:

At school I always have to practically have my arms glued together, or I wear a jacket(which probably makes me sweat even more) to cover it up, so that I can raise my hand to answer a question and all sorts of stuff like that. It is pretty much ruining my life and I HATE it. I want to get the botox thing but I dont know if i'm old enough for it, or if my mom will want me to get it. I have tried Certain Dri, and the secret brand of ant-perspiranat that you apply @ bed time and in the morning but nothing seems to work. And even to today when i went shopping I couldn't get stuff off the higher racks because people would see my sweat. I have tried wearing a whole bunch of shirts so that it wouldn't get to my outer shirt, but as I said NOTHING seems to work. Please e-mail me back a.s.a.p to give me more info on what to do.

Also, here's an article about getting ETS surgery, which reduces sweating and flushing: http://rosacea.iinet.net.au/hl/m4058.html . I also wonder if it would be effective to treat the flushed areas themselves with Botox, rather than the armpits (which require a lot of units of Botox). You would need to find a doctor that has experience with this. Since Botox prevents certain muscles from moving, a doctor could tell you if facial treatments would be possible or not. I'm not familiar with any topical treatments to prevent facial flushing. I've only heard of surgery in the past. Katie,

I'm glad you finally found a solution that works, even though you had to go through a lot to get there! I am lucky that I have a really mild case of hyperhidrosis, and I just have it under my arms.

I had excessive sweating of both my hands and my feet. I have tried every deodorant, including Drysol on both areas.. Drysol had so much alcohol in it that it made the skin on my hands peel. I then tried Botox on my hands and it was HORRIBLE. We all know how Botox works; after a day being treated, the muscles in my hands were soo weak that I could not even pick up a dinner plate. I couldn't even carry a magazine. My Dr. was trained by Arnie Klein, MD, so he was the best of the best. I have also used a machine that you put your hands on two water-soaked pads that ran electrical currents through it. Painful, but highly effective for about 3-6 weeks at a time. Nothing really solved my problem until I had the surgery that cut specific nerves that caused the problem. It cost about $6,000, but with my history, my insurance paid for it. As a result, my sweating has decreased by about 90%, but now I do sweat more throughout my body to compensate for the sweating that previously came from my hands and feet. My condition was so severe (I was a Sales Rep for a major Breast Implant manufacturer), I couldn't even shake hands with people. The surgery is the only way to ensure a permanant solution. My dr was in Beverly Hills and had patients from all over the world. It literally changed my life. My heart goes out to anyone with hyperhydrosis, it is a very embarrassing condition.
