I play piano and I kind of have the same problem when playing infront of people. I am dreading my exam when I have to play infront of a stranger who is a professional, not only will I make mistakes but my fingers will be slipping off the keys!

I completely understand this problem. I've had palmoplantar HH my whole life and it made playing piano and flute very difficult. My hands would literally leave puddles on the keys and made my flute/piccolo very difficult to hold. I just had to keep towels/handkerchiefs with me and try to discreetly dry my hands when able. It's a lot harder to hide HH when you have shiny fingers and instruments!

None of the available treatments worked for me, and I had ETS surgery in 1999 when it was much less common. This has solved my palmo HH, but my feet still leave puddles if I go without socks and I've developed compensatory sweating on the back of my legs, which leaves interesting prints on piano seats... :roll: So, I still have to bring something to sit on.

I hope the iontopherosis works for you!

I play piano and am going to start learning how to play violin soon. Happy.

However, I'm kind of worried about when I start learning that. It's a good thing, though, that I have that drysol stuffs now. @___@

That's great I hope everything goes well with the violin lessons!

My piano teacher was the sweetest person in the world. She would keep a box of tissues for me to clean the keys with and she never treated me like I was any different than her other students.

I play guitar, keyboad, and bass guitar. What I have found is that with sweaty hands, you can't really play the way other players play. Bends are more difficult to perform on a regular basis, but sliding is much easier. You can use it in a certain way as a positive to take a different approach to playing.
