Q&A: Is this hyperhidrosis?
Question by Nattehh: Is this hyperhidrosis?
During a normal day i sweat more than other people (I think) and within an hour or two of wearing that school shirt I can feel wet patches which is quite uncomfortable, i have to wear a clean shirt every day. Then whenever i exercise i sweat lots, mainly all over and a lot on my face and scalp. With in 20 minutes of exercising my blonde hair normally turns dark brown, like it does when I have washed it or have been swimming, and normally my face turns really really red and any make up just drips off my face.
It is really embarrassing and really upsets me, I have spoken to my parents but all they say is ‘Maybe you should lose a bit of weight’ when according to the BMI i am just borderline overweight, if i lose 4 pounds i will be normal again. I really do not understand if this is really hyperhidrosis or not, because no one else i know sweats so much on their face and i have never seen anyone else’s hair completely change and drip after exercising. Deoderant doesn’t work that well for me either, I have only found one which lasts a few hours at the most. And as far back as i can remember i have sweated on my face whilst exercising, but i suppose i am noticing it more now because i am more self conscious and care more about my appearance now that i am a teenager.
Plus all of the sweating really upsets me, because sometimes at school friends ask why my hair is wet, and i know people talk about it because someone said ‘oh yeh thingy said you were really sweaty after PE’.
Please help..?

Try a prescription strength antiperpirant. Not just a deoderant. It needs to be both anti and deo.
If it doesn’t work, go see a doctor.
