Hi, I'm new here. 24 year old guy. I have HH of the hands and other parts of the body, but the biggest problem is the hands. I've had it for about 10 years or so.
I have been doing research online, which is how I found this forum. It's comforting to know there are others out there like us with the same problem. Through all my research I still have not found an answer to HH.
I thought about getting the ETS surgery, but found out health insurance won't cover it unless you have tried like every other solution for many months. Also after reading testimonials about people who were unhappy with the results, I'm not too keen on pursuing that option.
So I finally went to the doctor and got a prescription for Drysol. It kinda works, but it's definitely not a cure. I think it might work better for mild cases of HH, but for me, I still sweat through it.
As for other options, it looks like some of them work for some people, but there is no consensus on a solution, which is frustrating. HH has such a negative impact on my life, I just wish there was an answer.
