Botox - hands too dry

[Stuckwithme]

Botox has worked good for me. First time I did it on my hands it lasted for 1 year and a couple of months. Now I have done it the second time and I have a reverse problem...my hands are too dry! Sometimes I almost wish I would sweat again. It's more annoying than one would think. They are so dry that they turn white and like sand paper. I wish Botox would allow for some moisture to come through. I was holding my mobile phone the other day talking to a guy and gesturing with my hands and the phone flew right out of my hand. I couldn't even hold on to it.

It's not even human.

If your hands are too dry use lotion and count your blessings.

The dryness beats the sweating any day. Easy enough to moisturize, a pain and/or time consuming task to get dry.

I guess the laws of Thermodynamics same here too. It's easier to heat something than cooling it down. I suppose it's easier to use lotion than getting the sweat evaporate. I wish they had a magic drying lotion.

Exactly! I notice that normal people's hands actually do sweat a little, which is just enough for them to grip things easily. But with us it's either way too wet or way too dry - no middle ground.
But yeah, lotion should work.

I use lotion, but I dont like the feeling of having lotion on your hands plus the lotion goes away quickly. I just dont like being this dry in the hands. I wish there was a way to regulate Botox so that it would let through some sweating so at least you can grip things. I mean it makes driving deadly because the driving wheel slips out of your hand!!

But I guess you guys are right, rather dry than sweating like crazy.

I tried botox and still sweat though my hands, just slightly less. My guess is you did not have hyperhidrosis in the first place.
