Excessive Sweating aka Hyperhidrosis

Got a call for a physician provider regarding a teenage girl who was having a problem with excessive sweating.  I was asked if I had any options for her.  The problem for the girl had escalated to deep embarrassment amongst peers at school and feelings of depression.  I had the privilege to speak with the mother and daughter to find out more on the issue.  The daughter had been wearing absorbant barriers under the arms to prevent breakthrough sweat on her clothes.  Her fear was that the pads would accidentally fall out or become displaced revealing her secret.  I was thankful that I got the call so that we could go to work on her behalf.  And my answer back to the provider was an emphatic "YES, we can help!!!"

Fortunately in my years of doing customized therapy, I was able to offer a solution.  We had made a similar product for others with the same need.  We quickly went to the lab and made a specialty deodorant product for her.  The secret ingredient is a drying agent (along with other complimentary ingredients for smell and absorbancy) that the girl uses as a rub on deodorant a couple of times a day.  The product works and we are so happy for her.

Sweating from the feet:
Yep!  I've formulated plenty of sweat-busting medicine for hot-wet feet.  ~For teenagers especially.  There are some creams that can be created to dry those sweat glands up a bit and bring the stinky/wet feet problems to a halt. 

Sweating of another kind....
In some cases, and especially in the peri- and menopausal years, women sometimes complain that their head just immediately gets wet with sweat.  (I often notice them in a crowd since I do this for a living.)  They don't even have to be outside to see the towering inferno rage within.   You'll see this surfacing pattern of sweat right at the base of their neck and forehead line and often these women begin to look for fans and devices to cool themself off.  This is totally hormonal and mild doses of hormone therapy can bring the sweats to a halt.  Is this you?  Is your hair ringing wet with sweat?  Give me a call.

Now that's creative medicine!!
