Excessive Sweating
Hi, 20/m
I suffer from Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating, more than is needed to regulate body temperature). I've been to the Doctor, and he says that because it's not something drastic or major, that he can't really do much about it because of local budget cuts to health. He says that he can only really refer serious things for surgery and the such. He advised me to check online for help etc, but I can't find anything besides the common sense stuff e.g. Wear black or white, use aluminium antiperspirant.
The thing is though, the sweating occurs on my face and back (mostly). I went to a friends house the other day, and the second I walked in, it was like someone had hosed me down. It gets quite awkward, because I hear people saying to each other "quick, open the window" or people think I'm nervous (which I'm not).
It's only started relatively recently. I can't remember it happening 6 or so years ago. I've not changed anything: my diet, lifestyle, or anything like that. I hear that many people get over it after the age of 25, but I can't wait that long.
It's terrible when I get out of the shower: I'll shower, dry myself, and BHAM!
Has anyone suffered from anything similar? Or does anyone know of experiences or have any sort of advice for me?
Thank you

A. Go to a different doctor. When you go to a doctor they are to help you not tell you there is nothing we can do,. Check the internet.
There is something they can do. They are just too dam lazy to do it. If the nxt doctor says the same... then screw that one and find a different doctor. You want a doctor that will actually care enough to want to help the patients.
