On Sunday night, I did my fourth iontophoresis session (1st was Fri evening, 2nd was Sat afternoon, 3rd, Sat evening, 4th, Sunday evening). About an hour to two after that, I rubbed Drysol (20% aluminum chloride) on my palms and put on some vinyl gloves (Mr. Clean, $2.50 per 12 pack). Ripped a hole in the glove (at the top of the hand, on opposite side of palm) to provide some ventilation. I didn't do my feet because the feet tends to reach dry state faster than hands. If my hands are dry, my feet are usually dry too.
When I woke up in the morning, the inside of the gloves felt a bit sweaty/wet, and I washed my hands clean using cold water. I was nervous because we had some overseas business partners in town that I had to entertain and would be doing a lot of handshaking (not to mention, the stress level is higher than on most days). To my surprise, on Monday, my palms and soles of my feet did not sweat one bit today. Not even the fingertips. Must have had at least 20 handshakes, on separate occasions, during the day. When I was outside (quite hot and humid now) I could feel that the sweat that would normally come out of my hands or feet, was distributed to my forearms, top side of hands, and my forehead, which is probably what non-HH people experience.
Based on what I'm seeing, I'm pretty optimistic about doing 4-6 iontophoresis sessions (over a weekend, once a month) + drysol solution (on nights after i do an ionto session) + holding dry can (cool down sweat glands to speed up 'dry skin barrier' formation and prolong ).
