I HAVE HYPERHIDROSIS

in #health7 years ago (edited)

Yes. You read the topic right. Don't be scared if you do not know what it means that's why I'm writing this.

Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea, is a condition characterized by excessive sweating. The sweating can affect just one specific area or the whole body. For me. It affects my palms, under my feet and my underarms.

You relieved? Lolz. It's not life threatening but it is embarrassing. I do not wear anything white. Shirts or dress or top or shoes because of the sweat marks it would leave; not just white any colour that is not dark enough is avoided by me. I feel very bad when people look at me like I have a plague especially when everyone is complaining of cold and I am sweating. People often assume that I do not know what deodorants are meant for...well some of us sweat more when we use deodorants. I am a living proof.

I have been ignoring it for as long as I can remember but Uncle @ejemai noticed it during his last visit to uyo and that's what pushed me to make findings.

So Hyperhidrosis can start from birth or during adolescence. It is of two types: primary and secondary. I have the primary hyperhidrosis. You want to know how I know? The primary hyperhidrosis is mainly of unknown cause while the secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by health issues like obesity, diabetes mellitus, gout etc.

I didn't know there was a way to treat it till now; I will visit the dermatologist as soon as I can afford that.
Please treat Us nicely. Its not communicable but could be inherited. I carry hand TOWEL always because of this, the last time i used a handkerchief it got soaked.

When you meet me and I seem reluctant to give you a hand shake please understand why. Thank You. Also few people know this could be treated so if you meet someone with this condition tell them.

Sort:  

Next time i see you,ill jump you ,nt even hug you ,ill jump on you.its ok to be different

Lols. Kill me ehear

It really is ok to be different, thanks for the post @annieben, it was very informative.

i felt good holding ur hands. it was wet yeah and at the same time cold. I like cold. Do you know how romantic i will find it if you place your hand on my cheek? And you should now make a mistake of planting a kiss on ma lips.

Lolz. Yes dear

I suffered from this too in my teenage years; but I outgrew it

I can't wait to outgrow it

Hey @annieben, its okay that you have come to terms with it. Hyperhidrosis doesn't kill anyone. You just have to be taking adequate water in addition to fruits and veges to keep your body fully hydrated.

You may consider using antiperspirants for your armpits. (Not deodorants). Goodluck!

Thank you sir. I will work on that.

hmmm...i also have a cousin who is going thru this

Well. Op you tell him or her its ok

Just as @nairadaddy said he was advised to get antiperspirants...but some people still see him as an alien..

Alien.... lol

That's very tough situation. And it is annoying I think.

Lol. Sometimes. When you want to do something and the sweat reduces your pace

At first glance at the name HYPERHIDROSIS you will almost be frightened but it's nothing much, some are living with worse case than this.

Thank you for taking your time to write about it.

Enjoy your life my dear, you owe no one.

Thank you deary.
