Hellloooo!

I have suffered from excessive sweating since I was 12 years old, I am now 20. I first started realising I was sweating more than others when I used to walk to school-I had a backpack for all my things (which trapped the heat even more) and by the time I got to school my back was so wet, the whole of my t-shirt was soaked!! I had to carry a jumper in my bag and stand with my back against the wall - quickly shoving my jumper on without anyone noticing.

I went to the doctors a number of times and just got "unfortunately its the way you are" with no mention of a treatment!!! So years went on (until yesterday) thinking I was the only one, and to get on with it.

I find it very difficult to go out clubbing (even though I do), I have to wear black every single time- as the sweat on my back is soooooo bad. I find myself wearing black an awful lot-I'm sure a lot of you do too?

I suffer with facial sweating (probably the worst), with sweating on my eyebrows?! I do blush quite easily but I have a constant red tint to my face in patches(even if it was to be snowing) which I believe is something else...

It was only yesterday that my friend had watched a programme on channel 5 (Sweaty Betty) and told me about it. I searched madly on the internet and came accross this illness name- I feel so pleased that I have finally been able to put a name to this. I am due to go to the doctors next week to talk about various options available.

There was nothing I wanted to ask anyone, just to say that I'm glad I found this site and all of you Smile

Welcome to the forum Very Happy

I have underarm hyperhidrosis which is bad enough, never mind facial hh, so it must be very hard for you!

I don't sweat that much on my underarms but I trim the hair with a trimmer which reduces the sweating. Now if only I could trim my eyebrows off Laughing

I always thought the purpose of the eyebrows was to stop forehead sweat getting into your eyes.

You know...

You can! I'm sure it would look cool. Seriously, I'm encouraging you to do so and upload a picture, there would soon be 10 billion hits on this page and everyone would know about HH... Laughing

Well...

Guess not Wink
