I'm a 15 year old male, and I have hyperhydrosis. It began I guess at the end of the winter last year, and I can't describe the effect it's had on me since. My personality hasn't changed (I still do all the things I used to do before I had it). But, it's rewening how I think about myself. I have these huge sweat areas in my armpits on and off during the day. It gets bad when I'm at all physical (even walking 10 feet). I'm forever in the washroom at school drying myself.
Here's whats weird. It never happens on the weekend or after school or before school. I can work out, and I still barely get any sweat in my arms. Thankfully, it's only in my armpits, nowhere else. I've tried antiperspirants, but they don't work. I'm terrified of surgery, and it's basically not an option for me. I don't know how severe my case is, do you know how I can determine that? Also, I need a way to go to my doctor and deal with this. I'm scared to tell my parents - I'm always terrified of telling them things like that.
thanks for any advice you can give, i'm getting desperate.
