Hello everyone.
I've been dealing with hyperhidrosis since I was in elementary school; I am now 24.
I've tried various medications, antiperspirants, etc to no avail.
I am constantly having to make sure I wear clothing that I can wipe my hands on, which is not only embarrassing, but also limits my wardrobe quite a bit.
I always make sure (especially during the hot summer months) that I carry around paper towels/napkins that I can wipe my hands on.
Every time someone extends their hand for a handshake, I get so nervous and anxious, fearing that they'll comment that my hands are "wet", which happens from time to time. Even if they don't say anything, I know they notice, and it's so embarrassing.
I suffer from anxiety and depression already, and the hyperhidrosis makes it all so much worse.
I've heard so many negative things about ETS surgery that I've ruled that out of my options.
I recently heard of Iontophoresis and am interested in getting more information about it...has anyone had any personal experience with that treatment?
I could also just use someone to talk to, if anyone wants to private message me.
Thanks!
