It's more around my wrists. I don't even scratch em but the electricity seems to be causing little burn dots in a way.
I'm on like day 9 again since having to restart treatments. I've noticed though that I still sweat a hell of a lot when I'm walking from parking to class and the weather is sunny and warm and my body just overheats like crazy.

beckiboo, try using moistening cremes. I use one from Nivea which is especially designed for palms care.
I guess your skin is too dry and you get small cracks in it that can itch.
OR maybe it's a consequence of the iontophoresis so you can try lowering the voltage on treatments and doing it less often.
About the maintenance problems you're experiencing: Try doing 9 days of iontophoresis and then do one treatment once every 7 days. Please report back.
To be as effective as you can reverse the polarity after 10 minutes. This way each palm gets the same amount of "treatment".
Good luck
thanks for your reply ive just finished a 2 week break from iontophoresis, this let my hands heal up (it was just a few tiny scabs, theyre gone now) and let my hands go back to normal, im restarting treatments tomorrow, and ill be doing 7 treatments over 7 days...ill let you know how it all goes!
beckiboo, i have the same problem as you. if i do the "maintence" treatments, i suddenly begin to sweat again :/
so now im doing it every other day to see how it work out. my hands are now COMPLETELY dry. i mean, i can work all day and it doesnt get wet, that is sooooooooooooooooooooo cool. and normal
my feet same dryness as well.
i hate it when i start sweating again, it means i have to do like 7-10 treatments before i get completely dry again. its time consuming to do the treatments (takes me like 1hour, and the hands part are a bitch, you cant do anything other than watch the tell, and you cant even change channel lol!) so i would really like to do the 1maintence treatment a week thing. but im really afraid that it will "reverse" and i will need to do 7-10 to get dry again..
i will stop the every other day treatment plan i have maybe next week (if im still dry) and do a once a week maintence.. then ill report back!
Anyone got suggestions for a good way to treat all the little burn marks I'm getting on my hands and wrists from ionto?
I'm on day 12 since restarting and all the little burn marks I get are itchy as hell. It's actually day 13 and I'm skipping it just to give my hands some relief. Was planning to do 14 days back-to-back.
It's not like horribly burnt like if I burned myself with a flame but I got lots of the little scab dots on my right hand near the wrist and the left hand is a bit worse off, no dots but like the whole patch between my wrist and the knuckle of my thumb on the top part of my hand is a bit scaly looking.
I could probably post a picture too if anyone wants to see lol.
I'd suggest you do one treatment every 2-3 days.
It's as effective as everyday treatment but it'll obviously take you a bit more time, however it should give your skin the time to properly heal.
Also, I'm using dermatologically tested creme/lotion for palms (for skin hydration) and it's really good for skin.

would be good to hear how you get on with it, waybe I might change to doing it once every 2 days but atm im on my 3rd day in a row and the sweating has come back..not to the extent it was before tho. im pretty confident a few days after finishing the 7 treatments they should go dry from my experience so far...ill let you know tho! good luck!

Hi,
I tried this treatment today, I am using 2x 9v batteries. My problem is when I initially put my hands in i get a huge shock but after that there is no more shocks just normal tingling. So is that intial shock normal. And I also noticed after reversing the polarity the initial shock is even wayy bigger both my hands shake badly. Is there any method to avoid this shock. I usually put my one hand in and then the other, I tried two ways. single finger on other hand still shocks and the whole other hand still shocks. Thanks.

Put your hand and foot in first then connect the circuit?

Yes, you can avoid the shock.
Put in the water just one finger of each hand and then work in other fingers and the whole palms. The shock will be like 10% or less.
Also, I'd like to note it's normal to feel a stronger shock after you reverse the current. I don't really know why, but I always get it and a lot of other people report it too.
Good luck

Thanks for all the replies, I realized what i was doing wrong, what I did was i placed one hand in the water and i used to touch the surface and as soon as i took my hand or finger and touched the other water it gave a huge shock, I think because since my one hand was touching the plate the electricity went directly through it instead of through water giving me shock, Now i just put my fingers in and dont touch the plates until all my fingers are in and no more shocks, also after reversing the polarity no more shocks. Thanks everyone.
