I have palmer/plantar HH.
And I'm trying to control the palmer by ionto with the idrostar and it sort of works.
I used to use Driclor as well as ionto, but I think I've become immune to Driclor or something.
What topical treatment should I try now?
Is Hydrosal Gel better than Driclor??

PLEASE HELP... I HAVE A MUSIC PERFORMANCE EXAM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO BUY!
(Sorry for the caps, I'm a bit pissed off atm.)

I know Pinker could help! (:

do you use driclor every night, if so this is probably why its not as effective as it was. You could give Odaban a try, its a spray and I found this to be a better product than A forte which I also have (I think its just like driclor). You could also try doing the ionto treatments for longer periods of time and more often, that might help. I don't know if hydrosal gel is better than driclor, i think it goes deeper into the skin as its a gel that you rub in, the only to now is try it i guess. good luck with the exam

The active ingredience in whatever topical remedy is Aluminum Chloride. Study the declaration of whatever product you have available (sorry I´m European and I have no experience with the brands you mention) and figure out which product has more Aluminum Chloride = This is the best product Very Happy

Isn´t it simple ? I found that the cheapest no-name brands are as effective and a lot cheaper than the high profiled brands. Good Luck.

I´m puzzled why you don´t make the best of your ionto device though?? Any good excuse?

Well now I'm planning to stop using Driclor (stuff with aluminium chloride in it) for at least a week and start up with Deydral (even though that's the stuff for feet). I have a feeling that it might be stronger since the skin on your feet is a lot tougher.

I've also not done ionto for 2 days and ALL my sweating has come back pretty much. Sad

(palmer)

I don't know what to do anymore.
I can't decide whether to go along with the instructions in the idrostar booklet (as far as regularity of treatments is concerned), or whether I should do ionto every day. Sad

I feel like I've been through every possible combination of how long and how often to do ionto and how often to use anti-perspirant on my hands. Sad

I really need someone to help me because I'm going through this hell of a condition on my own (as most of you are aswell most likely).

I'd appreciate if anyone could give me an idea of how often to do the treatments because I feel like I've achieved nothing. And it also doesn't feel right that I have to do ionto every day to keep my hands relatively dry.
Being only 16 years old shows that I really don't need this kind of shit in my life yet.

Thanks.

Well I've stopped using Driclor since Monday, and next Monday I'm gonna try Dehydral cream - $30 all the way from Canada. Sad

Plus I'm gonna start ionto again after skipping treatments for only 3 days. Sad

I can't believe I didn't do it for ONLY 3 days and I got full blown sweating starting up again. Sad

Hyper-Hydro, you've so big on the Iontophoresis treatments. Don't you find it to be a bulky solution? If someone tells me that Drysol/Driclor/Certain Dri or any other clinical deodorant works, I always recommend that over Iontophoresis treatments?

Are you not a big advocate of Aluminum Chloride treatments because of its rumored link to alzheimer's disease? I know that may sound ridiculous, but there's been so much speculation about this for the past 2 years from the press.

Or is there another reason you prefer Iontophoresis?
