Excessive Hand Sweating

Quite a lot of people suffer from excessive sweating from the palms of their hands.  Hands are more likely to become sweaty right before a job interview or in some social situations (first date perhaps) but it isn’t uncommon for people to naturally, excessively sweat in these areas. This isn’t that pleasant as it can lead to sticky hand.  If you sweat excessively from your hands it is quite likely that you also sweat a lot from your feet.

Excessive sweating doesn’t mean you are unhygienic, it is a medical condition.  Hand sweating is generally something that you would get from your parents.  Most people will sweat from their hands, and on hot days get clammy hands.  It is also common to get sweaty hands when you are nervous, such as before and interview for a new job or in new social situations.    For some people drops of sweat trickle down their hands which can be a big social problem.  Suffers of extreme sweating from their hands commonly try to dry their hands with a cloth of a tissue but the problem will come back quite quickly.

To help control excessive hand sweating you can use one of the following treatments Odaban, Anhydrol Forte, Driclor and Perspirex hand lotion.  These are easily available to buy online and on the high street as well as being really easy to apply.  Some people even use the old Chinese treatment of acupuncture to help control their excessive hand sweating.  Another medical procedure that can be used is Iontophoresis.  This is when the hands are placed in water and a mild electrical current is passed through.  It is safe but can cause some mild discomfort.
