Sweating palms...?
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can affect up to three percent of the population.


It usually begins early in life, and 50 to 60 percent of hyperhidrosis patients have a family history of the disorder.


Hyperhidrosis can occur almost anywhere on the body. Usually it affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet or the underarms.


These symptoms can be socially and professionally debilitating.


Medical treatment options for hyperhidrosis include:


* Biofeedback


* Iontophoresis (applying a low-intensity electric current while the affected areas are immersed in an electrolyte solution)


* Topical antiperspirants


* Medical therapy


* Botulinum toxin





Surgical Option


However, not all patients respond to these treatments. For patients with severe hyperhidrosis, surgery is the treatment of choice. Surgeons at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics now perform a new, minimally invasive procedure to safely and effectively treat hyperhidrosis.

The procedure is known as ETS, or micro-invasive endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. It involves removing the portions of the sympathetic nerve chain that cause the excessive sweating.
Reply:Baby powder
Reply:My palms sweat a lot too, I just make sure to wash my hands a lot and I carry a small, travel-size thing of baby powder in my purse or backpack that I put on my hands after I wash them, it helps absorb the extra moisture.
Reply:stop giving hand jobs under the desk.
Reply:botox.


Really, it works for sweaty armpits too!
Reply:You can keep tissues in your pocket one in left and one in right and when they get swetty just put your hands in your pocket and wipe them of or do you use a lot of hand cream? Dont use so much thats your body telling you your skin cant breath.
