New here

Well I will finally bite the bullet and start by posting on this forum. I have suffered what I think is Facial Hyperhidrosis for the past 7 years. It has come to the point in my life where I avoid many social situations because of it. Mainly mild social encounters like dinners, going for coffee and other face to face meetings with strangers. I will be fine for the first little bit then I feel a surge of warmness overcoming me then it starts...My face feels vey hot then I start to sweat, and I have to come up with an excuse ie: I am sick or whatever...it is very embarassing and I thought I had a very rare condidition and am alone, but it is great to see that others are encountering the same problems.
I am a very fit and active individual with a great bunch of friends but am too embarrassed to reveal my dark secret, instead I try and avoid situations that will bring on an attack, which in turn inhibits what I can and cannot do in my life. I mainly dread going to dinner to peoples houses, or even at the check out of grocerie stores i somtimes have an attack. I am mainly confessing for the first time to get a feel for what other people think and if they have similar symptoms as I do and what remedies have worked for them...Thanks for your time...

A warm welcome to you. (oooh another biker)

This place is really friendly so I'm sure you'll find the advice you need.

I can sorta relate as i have a problem with blushing and i feel very concious bout that..but instead of making an excuse and saying your ill,have you thought about explaining to people?I mean if people havnt a clue then they cant understand.i know its easier said than done tho and it wouldnt exactly be easy to just slip into covo.

but Ive found recently instead of trying to act "normal" (whatever that is) and cover up my problems.. that explaining has kinda lifted a weight off my shoulders and people can be quite understanding or even relate in some way.

Anyway thats just an idea hope you find some way to deal with it or accept it cos its horrible how things that bother us can be such a big obsticle in life.And welcome to spw btw!

Hi everybody!!
I'm new to this kind of forum.. I didnt knew so many people out there were like me... Found lots of informative posts and advices....
I suffer from under arm and a lottt of facial sweating.. My primary concern is facial sweating. The first step i ever took to help myself, was order maxim last week. Been using it for almost a week on my face, but it didnt helped much. i'm in norway which is getting cold these days, i would know if maxim had worked or not once i reach pakistan.. which is veryy hot these days.... Goddd i thought i was the only one in this world having this problemm.... I am glad i found this forum ...
Thanks... i'm kind of feeling better now.
