Question Posted Friday January 5 2007, 8:12 pm

ok. i asked the question before about my hands being sweaty. but i eman i looked online of what palmer hyperhydrosis i mean my hands to get sweaty. but only when i think about it. like when im thinking of holding hands with my boyfriend then they become sweaty. and like right now i was reading this question and since i was thiking of my hands being sweaty. they now are. so i have no idea if its just nervousness or if it really is palmer hyperhydrosis. and also is it true that baby powder can help this or?

When I was a teen holding hands with my boyfriend or anxiety made my hands sweat too. Usually it's just nervousness.
The more you think about it the more it will happen.

Just wash your hands frequently w/hot soapy water and carry around a cloth hankie to dry your hands when ever they start to sweat. You also might try wiping your palms with rubbing alcohol on occasion which will have a drying effect as it evaporates. There are also alcohol based skin cleaners such as purell--that seem to dry my hands out, you might try that. Baby powder might help, short term, but it may also get clumpy if your hands sweat anyway.

I am pretty sure that there is no fatal condition connected to the symptom of sweaty palms. Also I doubt that you would need any type of surgery at this point.

If this doesn't start to get better with home treatments by all means see your doctor who can offer some peace of mind.

You cannot die.
Let me repeat, You cannot die.

This isn't as serious as your making it to be.
So deep breathe. Im not a doctor, ahve no plans on becoming one, But I'm very sure you don't have palmer hyperhydrosis. If your that concerned ask your docter, I think sweating is very normal.

i don't believe this is a lethal disorder. my hands used to be really sweaty in my early teen years especially when i got anxious or scared. my best advice would be to go see a doctor. if it is palmer hyperhydrosis, i believe there is a cure for it. your doctor can prescribe you something.

p.s. dont forget...sweating is good for you!

Baby powder shouldn't work only you if you apply it when your hands are actually sweaty. It will dry it up.
You might have over productive sweat glands. There is a chemical that can be placed on your palms over night twice and week and than later once a month to dehydrate this area. One is called DrySol. Your hands should hardly sweat. I would ask your doctor.
