I think we always relate sweating to being anxious or nervous, but sometimes emotions of excitement and joy can trigger sweating. I've experienced this myself.

To anyone who needs to hear this. Keep going, don't give up hope. I know life can get challenging or stressful at times. Everything will work out perfectly. No matter the difficulties you are facing currently. You will overcome it! You are stronger and braver than you think. I know this from experience. I love and believe in you, your friend! A fellow human being!

wow, this is my first time finding your channel and I'm so impressed how dedicated you are to giving in depth education and options for viewers as a professional. most people just skim the surface in hopes to get more clients. I really appreciate your care and attention!

When this issue is being addressed online, it’s mainly only addressing sweating of hands, feet, and armpits. There are many people whose hyperhydrosis effects their face, head, and back. These are hardly ever assisted with these online videos.

Also one more question (sorry!). I notice that when I'm around people, especially new people, my hyperhidrosis flares up a bit. It's almost as if people is a trigger (sometimes). Thing thing is, I have no social anxiety whatsoever. I actually enjoy the company of people, even if I'm very introverted. My mind is completely clear and yet my body is not. So annoying! Is this normal?

This is exactly what I'm looking for my son, very educational and helpful. Thank you so much for the info. I'm subscribing from now on.

Wow, why didn't I see this video 2 years ago!!! Best management I've seen for hyperhidrosis. This is a very difficult condition to manage. I am recommending this to my patients. Thank you!

I was ready to take notes 😉 awesome info. Maren is great I don’t understand why subscriptions are not much higher, she deserves much more

GOD BLESS YOU ❤ for all the free advice, help and education your offering us all out of your time.

This is the best video on hyperhydrosis ever. Thank you!

You’re an excellent teacher you’re answers are and concise. I sometimes sweat at night. Night swearing do not occur nightly. Sweaty occurs 2 night in a row interrupts night sleeping patterns. I usually check what I have eaten. My dinner is no later than 6pm. Some days I just try to be as normal with my eating I am fine or night sweat occurs no matter what I do, so I feel like I am sweating and wakes me up I get up walk it off I am fine. Other night I am sweating do get up continue sleeping but my sleep turns with strange dream episodes. Get up tired in the early hours like 6 or 7 Am, Takes me a whole to recover from lack of. A peaceful night. I am in my late 70*s so I have other I issues that may contribute to sweating at night. This information was very clear and easy to understand. Enjoy your lecture s. God bless.

I just wanted to let you know that your video was so informative. I have done everything for my facial and cranial sweating. It started after my diagnosis of thyroid cancer. It subsided a bit after the partial thyroidectomy how've now my cancer had returned and so had the accesive sweating. The sweating came back before I know the cancer had. I tried botox. I also tried a sympathetic nerve block which worked for almost 18 months. The second time it didn't take I believe because my lymph nodes were swelled up on that particular day. I don't have the house because of embarrassing looks. It looks as if I got out of a shower. If I do anything active I will immediately burst into sweat. This has made my life uncontrollable. I'm going to look at your pdf to see what surgeries are recommended. I'm missing out on life.

Very informative! Followed your recommendation and it worked! Thank you so much for the help! Subscribed!

Very helpful and informative vlog! Great to see your videos. Thanks. More to come😊

You’re awesome! So glad I found your channel.

Thank you so much😪 I’m very introverted and my armpits start to sweat a LOT and they soak my shirts and it makes me feel very bad about myself. I stopped for a while but literally a week ago I started to sweat again. Thank you so very much.❤️

Menopause and prednisone made me had to reapply several times no matter which product I used until now ! I got certain dry THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHH ! Now I only apply every 3-4 days .

This video is amazing, so clear and informative. Thank you so much!

Great video. Thanks Doc 😊❤

Thank you for this information. 🙏🏻

Holy cow you are so informative and thoughtful

I've always had issues with sweating, and it stems from stress for me. I've had countless incidents in which I was experiencing bullying due to hyperhidrosis that still haunt me til this day. What was the saving grace was Dove Clinical, which I now recommend to anyone. It didn't stop the sweating but the formula allowed me to smell fresh all day DESPITE the sweat. I still struggle with sweating, so I'm glad to know I'm not alone.

You mean I have nothing to worry because I supper excessive sweating when I am busy. Thank you so much for this informative information.

I get sweat a lot on my face area which makes my days goes horrible when putting on Make-up as it ruins everything but due to that I no longer put Make-up on anymore any tips would be really appreciated, I really wish that you were based in the UK so I could come and have a face to face consultation with you. love you ♥️

WAY way back in the 80"s I was having a heck of a time with sweating so bad, it actually caused me to always be late because I didn't want to dress til the last minute. Went to the Dr. she gave me anti depressant...no didn't work!! Saw in the back of a magazine in a tiny add..certain dry. Took a chance and, wow it changed everything, never had a product work so well!! I spent so many years embarrassed and that really helped!! Used it for years!

Sooo helpful! Thank you!

This vedio is very informative. Thanks.

Thank you for this presentation. 👍

I have this problem and I actually had an operation under my arms to remove sweatglands. This was years ago. So now I have scars and I still sweat a lot . I will try your tips. It really can affect your life.

I probably should go to a dermatologist but this is pretty much the same thing, you are a dermatologist

Thanks so much for the information.....

Hi can you make a video on products to prevent ingrown hair please, It'd be super helpful!

Are Sweat Block wipes safe to use in the groin area, inner thighs?

So so helpful.

I used antiperspirant that contains aluminium chlorohydrate and it really works on my armpits. I use it at night before sleep. But is there any long-terms side effects when using this product? Thank you doctor.

Thank you, it's like u know it all for me

I have had this problem for quite a long time. What helped me was driclor.... just dont put too much product.

Thank you so much.

Hi Maren! I would be absolutely over the moon if you could please start a series of 'Anti age products for women in their 20's' , 30's etc. As I am currently in my 20s and would love to have professional insight into what products suit younger but slowly aging skin

Acupuncture really helped me!

I just found your channel. You are very informative. I would like to know your opinion on women shaving their face or dermaplaning. Thank you.

I had the ETS surgery to stop my hands from sweating profusely in 2004. The best thing I have ever done. Back then nothing was on the market to help with hyperhidrosis that worked. I had to travel 5 hours to Hollywood Florida to get this surgery done as no doctor near me was qualified to perform the procedure. It is definitely genetic for me. My mom as well as my 10 year old daughter have it. There is only one problem with this procedure. It redirects your sweat to another area. My lower back sweats a lot now and I only wear black shirts because of it. It definitely is 100% better than sweating profusely from your hands and people think you are nervous when you shake their hands. The surgery also was not approved for the feet so those are still sweating a lot. 😔 My former PCP put me on anxiety medicine thinking I was just nervous. I guess she had never heard of Hyperhidrosis in medical school. I quickly switched providers. Some people might sweat when they get nervous so that's completely different but you know you have hyperhidrosis' when you sit alone in your house and sweat. Nobody around, nothing to be anxious about. No anxiety medicine that will cause dementia will help that so please people if you have hyperhidrosis and your PCP is trying to put you on meds RUN.

I have cranial hyperhydrosis. What OTC do you suggest?

It's so beautiful to see a dermatologist who has her natural but healthy facial skin mimic, when talks :)

I don’t have HS but with your products recommended I now only have shower once a day.

A few questions: 1. Can a roll-on version of one of these antiperspirants be applied to hands and feet? My hyperhidrosis (thought not sevre) is more pronounced in my palms and feet. I didn't react well to glycopyrolate and I would just prefer to use over the counter stuff from now on 2. Since I have to put on products like this when the area of my body is dry, what do I do if it is sweating? My hyperhidrosis ranges from mild to moderate and is completely random in its timing. It can strike when I'm just sitting here watching KZfaq (as it is now) but will not be apparent doing heavy physical activity. It is completely random, along with the severity of it (mild to moderate) being random. So because it's random, it may very well be sweating at night when I'm wanting to put antiperspirant on 3. Do I need to worry about this "blocking sweating?" I know sweating is a completely normal bodily function and one concern I have is if I take measures to reduce the excessiveness, it may disrupt or eliminate what is a normal bodily function. Obviously I could do away with sweating in the palms for good but other sweat I know is normal and healthy when it's not excessive. You're video on "fungal acne" was super helpful so thanks!

I never knew the difference between antiperspirant and deodorant which is why I ended up having sweaty armpits when using deodorant thank you for such an informative video

Great job. This was well presented. I started using benzoyl peroxide under arms and started applying my antiperspirant/deodorant at night and have seen a drastic difference. I may try a gentle aluminum antiperspirant only and see what that does.

Now what is the best option for severe facial and scalp hyperhidrosis!!!! Asking for a friend 😉

Hi Doctor, what about sweating on forehead,face. Can i apply any of these on the face? If not is there anything that can be used on the face? Will there be any side effects like marks or dark dots on the face?

Drionic is good. I use it. Really work

The best thing to avoid hyperhidrosis major sweat days is to eat right and even though it could end up as sweat, drink water and tea without caffeine. Don’t eat too much salt then your body will want to rid itself of the salt with sweating. Whatever impacts your kidneys negatively such as being faced with excreting protein in the urine and lots of calcium, pulled from our bones from digesting meat, ditch the meat and the dairy and learn the ways of a vegan. I used to sweat more than anyone, more than a basketball player during a game without exercising. No more abnormal sweating now for me. Get out and take a walk in the cool of the day, as it helps you oxygenate your blood. This is good for the whole body and the brain. The brain has a lot to do with sweating, so make sure you keep your blood sugar under control. I put ground cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar) on my morning oatmeal. I mix in a grated raw apple and some chopped walnut with a hint of a plant-based milk. My husband loves this too. Great to keep blood sugar regulated. We use no sugar in the oatmeal as the apple’s sweetness is all you need. Both oats and the apple contain soluble fiber which helps with daily regularity. If you have leaky gut because you don’t have daily regularity, you will sweat more. Pectin is the soluble fiber in apples. Together with the oats, is a good way to ensure daily regularity. Eat greens as these detox that body. Eat raw in a daily salad or if it is kale or spinach, these are good steamed. Learn about vegan nutrition as it is the best way to recover from many lifestyle diseases. Caffeine promotes sweating in me so I don’t drink coffee. I like Good Earth Sweet N’ Spicy tea. But I am also fond of Bigelow’s Ginger Peach Turmeric. Turmeric and Ginger are great at healing so many things. They are anti-inflammatory and the less inflammatory our bodies are, the less we will sweat. I wear flip flops most all the time unless it is very cold. This way I don’t get Athlete’s feet, then there is no foot odor problem and if my feet stay cool, so do I. I even wear them on walks. But I scrub them clean before I shower. I scrub the tub before using it with cleanser and do the flip flops too. I am prone to foot and toenail fungus because of the sweating issue. So being sure to prevent Athlete’s foot and toenail fungus which we are more prone to both, is a good idea. So don’t go barefoot, use the flip flops but be sure keep the feet clean. If I have to use a pumice stone on my feet I do. I take Biotin to improve my skin and my heals don’t split but wow did they split and sweat when I used Dairy milk, ate cheese and yogurt and ice cream. Yes, they taste good but they made me sweat and not sweating has allowed me to be so much happier. You can get all the protein and calcium you need from a Whole Foods Plant-Based diet. This has cured also my arthritis and also freed me of both chronic constipation as well as asthma. You can learn to make your food delicious. The best thing we can do to prevent sweating is to eat low fat, no sugar or oils. I follow PCRM (Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine). There are many others too like Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Furhman, Dr. Milton Mills, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. The diet and the walking has gotten me over depression which has plagued me since childhood from all the tormenting and ostracism from both friends and family. Some of us have worse reactions than others to the Standard American Diet. The WFPB diet has healed me. A word to the wise, is limit alcohol as too much can trigger sweats too. I do not take any drugs but I take supplements: a multiple vitamin, B-12, D-3, Biotin, Potassium and Magnesium and Ginger-Turmeric. Garlic is your friend, use it fresh, get a garlic grater bowl or use a garlic press. Buy Yukon Gold Potatoes as they taste buttery already and learn to eat them without butter. I make a topping of grilled mushrooms with onions and add fresh garlic at the end. I am always eating fresh homemade salsa but I take the ribs and seeds out of the jalepeno as it makes me sweat if its too hot. I don’t use fruit juice, I eat the fruit instead. The other benefit of all of this is it keeps my weight down. Love yourself as sometimes in my life that was the only person who did. Don’t look hope. Pray. Stay positive and if others verbally abuse you, their cruelty is a worse affliction to their soul than sweating is to us.

Great video. But all these products are for underarm uses. What if you sweat in other places. Can you use those! Groin area or feet?

What is the best moisturizer for eczema and seborheic dermatitis?

Wear moisture wicking shirts, they help a lot

Hi does this work for your hands and feet this can be hard to live with thank you for this video

It's so frustrating when you can't hold hands with your loved one, shake hands, and slow dance with your significant other! This was the reason I missed every prom night! 😔

I'm not sure if Perspirex sold in US. The product from Denmark 🇩🇰 I use Perspirex comfort (the green one) for sensitive skin. It helps alot reducing sweat and neutralize b.o significantly. For first time use, apply 7 night in a row on dry armpit and then for maintenance I only use it every 3 nights.

Upon doing some research about hyperhidrosis I read that there’s a surgery that can be done where the sweat glands/nerve can be removed so your hands won’t sweat At All Anymore! I’m curious is if this is a real thing?…and if it is then I’m going to assume that it’s not going to work on my feet, face, or my scalp! I plan on Talking with my doctor to get prescribed the pill this lady is talking about. My hyped one rhidrosis is debilitating. I can wear some certa😢😢in types of clothes! I’ve dealt with this for as long as I can remember, like 13 years old! Thank you so much for all of the information as I will be taking this info to my primary doctor.

Thank you for your video and info. Can I ask you a question about the medicine glycopyrrolate and the sweating in certain areas. I am one who always runs warms and don't take hot temps in summer weather. Don't if it has to be still connected with my childhood temperature convulsions I experienced. I have grown out of them thankfully but again hot weather is terrible for me. To my sweating is along the lines of groin area the most but do have sweating other areas as well. The groin sweating has gotten worse over the years and I also suffer from overactive bladder issues. So I use disposable underwear in that situation but try to use cotton underwear for a change up. Now the issue is that I always feel sweaty from either one when up walking, turning over in bed, bend over to lift something etc. You can under the situation for me is very uncomfortable and is very annoying when I feel sweat in the area and down my legs. So overall I am just wondering if there could be relief from groin/butt sweating with the med mentioned above or other recommendations. I am sorry to rabble but ready for this to end. Appreciate your time and understanding in this manner 🙏 Jessica 🙂

thank you

Hello doctor, I have a question about the dangers of applying aluminum to our skin. I've heard that it has some connection with breast cancer. 😟

Has anyone heard of using benzol peroxide as a wash (Panoxyl 4%) to combat bacteria in the underarms? I have been using it in the shower every day and I think it has been working. I use that in combination with Secret Clinical Strength 20% aluminum zirconium at night. It has made a difference for sure but I still have a lot of sweating specially if I get nervous or do minor walking outside in the heat. I am excited to try Aluminum Chloride products like duradry and certain dri!

I'm watching this informative video while my hands are sweating so bad😅 Thnaks Doc!

Hi! How about the remedies or cream for cellulites?

To me I've noticed that, if i use any antiperspirants with a smell in it, it definitely makes matters so much worse, i discovered this on my own and also the antiperspirants Spray, works well with me than roll ons. Have any of you experienced the same as me? Try changing 1 or two things like this and it might help you while taking her advice too. Id love to try this product she mentioned but aren't available in my country, South Africa 😢 All the best to my family here with this same issue, it's a huge problem for us specifically woman i know but we can't run from family genes.❤ Thanks for this video. 🎉

What helps excessive sweating on face

When I exercise or dance my my scalp gets hot and I start sweating on my head down my body. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of this. It's especially embarrassing when I'm dressed up and dancing with my team. I don't sweat under my arms or my hands or feet. I hope there's something that can help me. Thank you Dr Locke, I love your channel and all of the information that you share. After a very stressful couple of years with my husband's health and before that my mom's, I have started using your recommendations to begin a good skin care routine.

Really love how detailed your content is..could you kindly cover if these products are safe for use under the boobs, groin and other parts of the body. If they’re not, what products are?

I was wondering if any of these great products can be used while pregnant?

Is it possible to mix two of these aluminiums together or will it take out eachother? Aluminium Chloride works for me but can’t handle the burning. Aluminium Sesq works a little with no irritation. A combination of these two would be great, but does it work to mix those together?

I have this on my feet. I need to change socks midday. Hope these tips will help. 🙏

I need help...mines so bad that I have dripping sweat on my entire body..I can hardly leave my bed. I have been on 2 different medications but has done nothing . The only thing that stops it is laying down. I feel so helpless, why would anyone want to live like this

Please do a skincare for Men.. (minimalistic skincare because my husband doesn’t like to put many products on his skin) there’s a lot of KZfaqr that made that video but I trust you more!! ❤️

Para.. sympa... nora 😓 Thanks for the pdf doc🥰

I have always sweat ever since a child. ALL OVER THE BODY. Just the hands, feet, underarms and back sweat faster than the rest of my body. Still, the rest of my body really really sweats so much easily. I am a young woman 19 years of age, and it has been affecting my skin issue-tinea versicolor- which is keeping it active for years since I was 13 years old.

Could I use the duradry on my hands? or is it only for armpit?

Thanks but l also have a question. I can surgery be conducted on the hands in cases of hyperhidrosis

I have a major life event coming up in two weeks, I have what I would consider, based on your criteria int the video, severe hyperhidrosis on my scalp. Nowhere else. Which of these combinations of OTC products would you recommend by my attempt to make it through this event? I sweat on my scalp extremely bad in public / crowded / nervous events. I really need help, as I must attend this event, and I don’t want to be embarrassed with sweating on ym scalp. Please help.

Do you have products that would help reduce excessive sweat and brighten the area at the same time 😭😭

Please is there a product for face and head sweating . It’s so embarrassing and once it starts there’s no stoping it .

Quick question: Do you know of any products that are sustainable? I recently tried to get an antiperspirant that was plastic free but I guess I ended up just buying a deodorant because I'm constantly sweating now (and so much for deodorant because I'm sweating so much my armpits start to smell by the end of the day). I was using Dove Clinical Protection which worked for the most part, though my armpits did get irritated (though I guess that was because I was putting on right out of the shower). I just wanted to use less plastic, but now I smell bad and can't stop sweating 😭

My hyperhidrosis is excess even when it’s cold I sweat underarms excessive sweating 😢and I’m tired I don’t wear colorful clothes because of the fear of people talking about me so I wear black all the time. The sweating stops when I’m asleep and also a family history

Sweat block works !

Can these products be used on the face?

Which type of Antiperspirant solution should i use on my scalp ?

Hello :) can I ask you what do you recommend for a sweaty hands?

When I use antipersperant in the evening, can I put on just a conventional deodorant (alum) in the morning?

Hello, I have been diagnosed with over sweating in my head. And let me tell you I am miserable no matter what the weather my hair is socked most days along with my face. If anyone else has this problem I feel sorry for you, I can't find anything that seems to work. I am retired now so I don't go out of my house unless I really have to. Have a good 🤤

🍋🍋🍋Friends, apply a small slice of lemon to the target area. I'm sure it will last for two days and you won't smell bad. Just try it
