Help With Sweaty Palms

RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post by dansmi (1) | (03/30/2009) Contact Hey, it makes me a bit happier to find other people out there with this problem. I've been searching for not really a cure but something that will just prevent it and I've seen many people saying to use antiperspirants but from my experience of trying these don't do much good but still I'm glad there are people out there who understand how embarrassing it is and how it impedes on totally normal things like holding hands with your gf or shaking hands. it would be much appreciated if anyone has any non surgical or antiperspirant suggestions.

Before when I was younger I'd be too embarrassed to shake someones hand because my hands would constantly be sweaty but now it doesn't happen that often. The only times this happens is when I'm really nervous like at a interview but I see that as normal. Now most of the time my hands are sweaty is when I work which isn't good at all. I'm a dj and deal with records all the time and my sweat slips on to the records and as the record spins the needle catches the sweat as its dried up which then builds up on the needle which causes the record to sound muffled or even skip. Not good in a live situation with people on the dance floor. I hate it! Now some of you will say move on to cds but I have tried it and I'm just not comfortable with it. I find that I'm lucky to have a job that I love doing but I just don't know why my hands start to sweat while I'm doing it. I mean as I type my hands are dry but once I hit the tables its like a waterfall. This sucks :( /rant Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Sebastien B.

As for high fives, my personality is such that I can get away with drunkenly missing their hand and going for the head.

It's really embarrassing when I have to shake someone's hand or do square dancing in gym and stuff. I'm self conscious around my boyfriend and I'm scared to hold his hand because I know as soon as I do my hands will start to get like soaked. And wen i rub the sweat off on my jeans or shirt or something it comes back like a second later. It makes me real self conscious and I know people think its gross. I've tried rubbing baby powder on my hands but it only works for like ten minutes tops and then the sweat just like bursts out. I hate it! It makes thinks that are supposed to be fun really embarrassing and nerve racking and I hate it. I want to enjoy life without worrying about my disgusting sweaty hands, and my parents would never let me get surgery or anything. Idk what to do but I'm gonna try the tea bag thing. Thanks guys!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Anonymous Jones (Guest Post) (02/03/2009) Hi, I have had a problem with sweaty palms and feet for over 20 years. Usually my hands would sweat first which would trigger my feet to sweat also. I could never wear pretty shoes for long without my feet sweating because I would slip and slide. I purchased some healing oils from www.amoils.com . I purchased the H-away and H-prevention, I'll let your imagination run wild, Anyway these 2 items are not for Hyperhidrosis, whatsoever, today will make my 5th day of using the items, and my hands and feet have not sweated since. Even when I get a heat flash, my hands or feet did not sweat. I am going to give it several more days to see how it goes, and I will check back in.

My boyfriend's hands are always cold and when he wants to hold me hand I have to wipe my hands of repeatedly so he wont notice. It is really embarrassing. So what i do is I cut open a tea bag, and I put baby powder in a cup and I rub that on my hands and I rinse with hot water. It really works.

Its so unfortunate that doctors/scientists are not doing too much to find cure for hyperhydrosis(sp?). I have tried the teabag idea, it worked for a few hours then my hands went back to being sweaty. I have not yet tried any medications but I am hearing good things from Drysol and Robinul. I just wish someone would take this illness seriously and find an effective and permanent cure, because it really does interfere with my social life far too much. It's depressing to not be able to hold my boyfriends hand, or give handshakes, hi fives, or watch a movie without drying my hands every 10 seconds, even being on a bus and having to hold a pole to keep my balance is a struggle .__. Best of luck to all of you, and may we all find a cure. -Melissa. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Steven G.

Sweaty hands are really gross and can be extremely embarrassing. I get really sweaty hands and I've had it where I went to high five somebody and they would be like "eww. why are your hands wet?!" One thing you should try is the tea bag remedy or baby powder. Another thing to try is just relax. when you notice your getting sweaty just take a couple of deep breathes. Also, exercise. I know this sounds weird because you get more sweaty when you do physical activity but exercising does wonders for the body. Drink a lot of water also. Try not to drink as much pop/caffeine. Another thing you could try, is get a REALLY good anti-persperant deoderant and rub some on your hands, let it sit there for a minute or two and dry. When you start to freak out about your sweaty hands you just get more sweaty, so relax a bit. hope this helps a little. =] Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Tori (Guest Post) (01/07/2009) i know just how u feel!! its so embarrasing cuz at skewl my hands will be sweating like crazy and so i'll wipe it in my skirt and then afterwards i'll have this wet stain on my skirt itz soo annoying!!! =[ Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Muay Thai Fighter (Guest Post) (01/03/2009) I have the almost the same problem but not as bad as you guys.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By cj (Guest Post) (11/15/2008) To be honest this is it. Sweaty palms aren't so big of a deal while holding hands. As long as when you grab their hand you aren't sweating you should be fine. Because if your hand starts to sweat they wont know if it's them or you. its pretty legit. Just ignore it because they notice their hand is wet but probably think it's them. A sweaty hang can mean your nervous and if your partner picks up on that they would probably take it as a compliment that you care for them and being near them. also its kinda hot? Anybody else feel this? Like it means that their touch makes you aroused. My advice don't worry about it. Today I was holding hands with someone and my hand started to sweat but she didn't pull away or anything. No worries palm sweaters!

So I just keep them spread out all the time. It helps. Also if you are shaking someones hand you can cup your hand little and then your palms won't touch, and they wont feel the sweat.

Just looking for a solution. Report Spam or Abuse Dealing with it Post By Colonel M (Guest Post) (10/11/2008) I always accepted that sweaty hands (but moreso, feet) were part of me. In fact, they're hereditary for me, and my sons will probably have to deal with them too. My feet are difficult to keep from smelling because of their sweating, and if I air them out for a long time, they get super dry and crack easy. Wearing socks is a must because it helps contain the moisture I lose from sweating. I always made a joke out of my hands or feet sweating, even as a teen. If you're having problems with finding a b/f or g/f because of that, you're looking for the wrong people with the wrong reasons. Someone who loves you for who you are wouldn't care if your hands melted their own if they touched you. Holding hands isn't necessary for a healthy type of relationship anyway. My issue wasn't my hands and feet, but my inner thighs. Kind of embarrassing to admit this, but I need to apply deodorant around my groin because of that high sweating area, more so than would be normal. That's typically what I worry about rather than my hands and feet. I wouldn't last very long in the middle of a desert with only one set of clothes. I've never had warts, but my hands and feet get these clear bubbles that are uncomfortable to have, and they come by either one big one (half an inch) or a cluster of tiny ones found in the depressions or sides. Once I see them, if I don't wash my hands often, they'll spread.

Responsible for how quickly the body burns energy, the thyroid can sometimes go into overdrive causing your metabolism to speed up.

I also tried applying Certain Dry to my hands but that didn't do anything either. I'm sixteen and I seriously need to find a solution soon because I'm too scared to have a boyfriend which is starting to become kind of a problem. I feel like there's so many things I can't do because my hands are taking over my life. it's so frustrating because I don't even have to be nervous for my hands to sweat! Surgery is also out of the question because my parents would NEVER let me go through with it, especially since they act like my hands are no big deal. I read about some people using robinul and it sounds pretty effective. So hopefully that will work for me too. But I haven't had too much luck with my other attempts.

I know how embarrassing it is to have sweaty hands and feet. I don't feel like myself and I nearly quit cheerleading because of it. I'm a flyer, so when we don't pop-cradle or something I have to grab other people's hands. It's soooooo embarrassing! goodness. and its so embarrassing with boyfriends too. I've found that if I think to my self "Don't sweat" I sweat even more. For some reason when I watch movies I also get really sweaty. It's just so embarrassing.

I made this part of my daily routine, 10 mins every morning and i have to say it is very effective. It doesn't completely eliminate the amount of sweat you generate, but I have seen a noticeable difference. I used to ruin my paperback books from the sweat of hands, but not anymore. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By (Guest Post) (09/02/2008) I had this problem my whole life; shaking and holding people hands suck. I hate getting laughed at or asked "what's up with your hands", I just want to punch them in the face. I can't give people high fives most of the time (stick with the fist pump). I can't interact with people all the time like hand games and the worst is when my sweat drips all over a video game controller. My feet sweat too and I hate wearing sandals. The worst is when your reading a book or writing and the pages get wet. I talk to my hands all the time like why are you sweating so much. During church right before you shake hands, I get nervous and my sister gives me this look. The only good time is when your in the pool. In the winter my hands get really cold and turn purple sometimes. This causes me to wear like four pairs of gloves and I have to dry the bottom layer every day. The sweat is even dripping on the keyboard right now. I even have this prescription drug that you rub against your hands and feet to stop the sweat but I just sweat right through. Nothing actually works. What is that supposed to do, stop the sweat for until you walk out of the bathroom? Someone told me to keep a towel with me and wipe it on there! it's gay and to it still does't work. I just try and wipe it on my shirt but it comes back in like a milla second and my shirt gets mad wet. How are you supposed to keep a relationship with you holding hands with your girlfriend and she not noticing the dripping sweat of your hands? It sucks and and I'm not paying to get surgery which I still bet won't work. Report Spam or Abuse Sweaty Hands Post By Ben (Guest Post) (09/01/2008) I used to have really sweaty hands.

I have the same problem so I find it best not to think about it, but if you can't help it this is what I would do: 1st make a list of the things you could do to try and prevent it. this is mine: - relax - rub cornstarch or baby powder on hands. - soak hands in 5 teabags for 15-20 mins. - pee on hands every morning (someone said it works but its to gross for me) - use drysol. - cut garlic, onions, tea, coffee and soda out of your diet. - take vitamins with zinc and magnesium in. - wash your hands at every opportunity you have. - ask for a prescription of robinul 1mg x3 a day. - chill out and to tell friends about it (you never Know they may have it to or something just as embarrassing) 2nd if anyone bullies you or mentions it to you don't get worked up that's what they want just relax and try to think of a phrase to say back these are mine: - no one is perfect. - your not perfect . - I just drink a lot. - I know (this works best for me because It cuts the sentence short and stops them from going on) 3rd if you get nervous people can tell. I'm extremely loud I also get extremely nervous so what I do is tell my embarrassing stories and make a joke out of them. this is just one of them: - I love to go on stage and dance but I particularly love drama so when I'm on stage I get really sweaty and nervous. Once I was playing Catherine Parr in Henry here after and I was supposed to kiss and shake hennery's hand. I was so nervous that just burst out laughing and went beet root red and after the show I had to tell everyone why i did so. It turns out my friend also got nervous but expressed it in a different way. She wet herself and laughed it of by telling everyone it was her tradition and still we can't stop laughing at that joke. Lastly just don't let it get in the way of life it wont stop if you hide away so you might as well enjoy your life. P.S. Please post a comment to express your opinion or any questions on the advice I have given I do appreciate it. Not all the advice in the list is mine I have just gathered bits of info from different people. I hope they don't mind thanks for reading.

I've the same problem too :[...I did a bit of a research today and found a couple of so-called remedies. I'm gonna give them a try. Here are the remedies: -boil 5 tea bags in water and soak your hands in the solution for about 30 minutes -apply white vinegar.. who knows..it can work! -drink more water Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By clearly annonomous - imagine if this went on rove :P (Guest Post) (04/23/2008) Well I've had the problem for several years now and it's awful knowing at any times your hands are going to get sweaty. This is especially a problem when you greet friends with handshakes, hi 5 people or any other basic task such as writing. I have loathed having a girlfriend purely due to my hands, everything is perfect, other then the random sweat building up at any time. They get cold and clammy, and trust me i feel like putting on a layer of glue lol :P ><. btw has anyone noticed they're a completely different person in the rain?, I do and it's cause I don't notice the sweat and the rain covers everything. I love the person I am in the rain or pool, but limited by sweaty hands is the worst. Well hopefully we find a decent cheap cure. lol, night guy Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By iluvpb (Guest Post) (04/11/2008) Hello everyone I have sweaty palms too.You need to go to a dermatologist like i did. A doctor doesnt really know what theyre doing in this case. Try Drysol I am and I think it will work. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By doug (Guest Post) (04/07/2008) i've dealt with cold sweaty hands for the past 20 years. The only sure-fire method i've found is using a prescription antiperpirant called Drysol. Once you get the prescription, it's very inexpensive and absolutely works. after using it for a few weeks your hands might get too dry. But honestly, I prefer overly dry to cold and clammy any day. try it. it really helps. good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By (Guest Post) (03/27/2008) besides the usual washing of the hands, eliminating certain foods in diet like garlic or onions help reduce sweating of the palmsa and soles of the feet.Also try eliminating caffeinated beverages like sodas and coffee. If those natural remedies don't work, try taking vitamins with zinc and maganesium. Obviously children under 17 should consult with their pediatrician of what kind of vitamins to take.

Whenever you see a sink, go for it please wash your hands! And to be honest, I had sweaty hands and when I held hands with my boyfriend, I got nervous and got sweaty hands. Use some lotion to prevent sweating!

Can someone send me tips on how to get rid of it? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By Katy (Guest Post) (02/09/2008) hey. I have sweaty palms and feet too. I've found that it's a more psychologica problem for me. Like sometimes, my hands would be really dry or really wet. And my hands NEVER get wet when I'm at school, unless I'm doing some physical activity. But when I get home, sometimes it turns wet again or at other times, it stays dry. I've found that trying to relax and not think about my hands may get it to become dry (if it is wet) and stay dry. Corn starch is also helpful for a temporary effect to soak up the sweat.

I didn't want to have to use it again, but my sweaty palms are back after having gotten rid of em for quite a long time. Now i'm surfing the net looking for other new home remedies coz i just can't go thru the old one again, i don't seem to be seeing new home remedies with the pages i've come across surfing the net right now. Looks like its back to my tried and tested remedy for me again. Groan... I started trying this remedy when three people i've talked to, each spoken to at different occasions, all of which were unfamiliar with each other told me about the exact same remedy. Brace yourself. Here goes.. The first thing you do the moment you get up from bed in the morning is pee. But this time pee on your hands. Afterwards let your hands absorb the pee and dry in your hands for about 15-20 minutes before proceeding to wash your hands. Nobody needs to know you peed on your hands anyway except you. Do this every morning (until the problem subsides) or for night owls whatever time you get up from your longest daily sleep. This isn't as easy as it sounds. It's said that the pee is most effective when it's the very first pee of the day from the moment you wake up. I had to put a sign near my urinal to remind me to do this routine because trust me, you'll always forget. By the time u remember doing this you've already peed your first pee of the day.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By YURMOM (Guest Post) (09/20/2007) Well I have sweaty palms and I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and they said that nothing was wrong with me. I was about to scream, "What do you mean nothing is wrong with me?" They told me it was probably just the nerves. and they told me I have nothing at all wrong. I felt so weird. I would put baby powder on your hands but I don't think that is going to work either, because I have had experience and nothing helps my sweaty palms. I get them when I'm nervous and when I think about it. I'm always scared to have a boyfriend because of my sweaty palms.

It has been prescribed for over fourty years for the problem. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By meana (Guest Post) (06/13/2007) Robinul 1 mg 3 times a day is what i take for sweaty hands. you can get a surgery called a endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy ( i'm not sure if i spelled that correctly) but it cost"s about 10,000 dollars and i don't have the money for that. if the doctor just looks at you as if you are crazy when you ask for robinul be prepared with research on this drug printed out with you. Robinul has been prescribed for this problem for about fourty years. the only side affect that i suffer from taking it is if i take too many at once, my sweaty hands go away, but i sometimes get a little dry mouth. if that's worth it to you I would encourage you to try it. (p.s. I wish that I had had this medication in high school, it might have made it a little more bearable for me) Good Luck meana Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post By trish (Guest Post) (02/15/2007) hey i too know how you all feel... i have sweaty hands and feet its weird because sometimes i will just be sitting doing nothing and they will just come i have to do square dancing and i had to hold my partners hands and spin around it was so embarrasing because when he touched my hands he cringed and was like oh my god! and he barely held my hands to do the spin it was so embarrasing is there anything i can do without having to go through surgery?

I had sweaty palms, and feet and it was some little electric glitch in the heart, I am not diagnosing just saying ask your doctor. And it could just be NERVES, I used to carry a cotton handerchief in my pocket and would squeeze (to dry hands) as boys walked up to ask me to dance. The boys hand could be sweaty too from his nerves and he will not notice yours, it happens!

The anticipation of hand contact makes it even worse, as you probably already know. Locate a doctor specializing in this and make an appointment ... there is surgery available. I think it is live with it or do something about it! Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help With Sweaty Palms Post by Luvyabye (438) | (04/22/2005) Profile | Contact Hi Kat! I'm sorry to hear about your sweaty palms problem. It may be a medical condition called "hyperhidrosis" and if that's the case, you really need to see a doctor. My cousin had surgery for this and he had sweaty palms and feet (the bottom of his feet). I found some sites that tell about "hyperhidrosis". You may not have that at all, but it never hurts to check it out with a medical doctor. Report Spam or Abuse
