I have very sweaty palms and it can be very disturbing. A simple everyday activity like shaking hands is made difficult. It is a problem that has plagued me since I turned thirteen or fourteen, besides having trouble shaking hands in mass I also have difficulty when sitting for exams. I tend to smudge what I have written as it is usually at it's worst during times of stress. However, stress is not it's only catalyst. It comes almost all the time.

It is very frustrating to have sweaty palms. Surgery would cost RM13K according to one doctor I consulted, above the cost of surgery I would also have to spend on accommodation and transport as the surgery is only conducted in SINGAPORE!

Does anyone suffer from this as well? If so what have you done to remedy the situation apart from surgery?

you tried shaking hands with those politicians before ? try it in a crowd and watch their facial expressions

I'm not too worried about mine, I'm in the same boat as you . As for exams , sometimes the paper can be soaked through and when u lift it up...koyak I fix that by placing another folded sheet of paper below d hand i'm writing 1st tho

My palms dont really bother me, so never considered getting them "fixed". (As long as I'm still able to get through the thumb print scanner at airports )

Thumb print scanners have caused me hell too. I have to dry my thumb because they always seem to get a negative reading, very frustrating.

haha , i remembered the 1st time i got my IC done. the scanner only picked up a black smudge ended up trying to dry my thumb for an hour

my parents did consult a doctor once, and he said surgery was the only way to go.

are you palms really bothering you that much ? I kinda like mine the way they are

Why don't you get special permission to wear gloves while writing? You might get strange looks from your friends though

I have sweaty palms too (very noticeable on my black DS) but I guess it's not as bad >.<

just do a surgery
its called sympathectomy
a surgery done to cut off sympathetic nerve that control your sweat glands in the palmar area
only 2 days of admission (my friend done this before)
and it totally works!

my friend have it done in HUKM,cheras (we are hukm students actually)
so u can go there to ask for the surgery
dont forget to ask for referral letter from your doctor

but rm13k ...kinda expensive dont ya think?

dont think it will cost rm13k
my friend had it FOC as he is student there
but he once said that for outsiders it will cost a few hundred to may be a couple thousands
rm13k is ridiculous la

but he wanted to get it done in Singapore..maybe there is much more expensive? but seriously, if rm13k u need to reconsider it again

Procedure is call Laparascopy Sympathectomy.. No need big scar.. Through small keyhole surgery.. R u a student now?? If so HUKM is free for u.. If u r working then also free if u r gov worker.. Dun b fool by ppl who says onli can b done in Singapore.. Can b cured wif surgery..

how bout the sweaty armpits? how much does the surgery cost for curing it?

http://www.wethandsclub.com/hyperhidrosis_...nt.html#surgery
cost rm 7k to 8k

May I know...who is the doctor? My relative also has this prob...really bothering him.

I came across a girl in her twenties who was having this problem with sweaty palms. Her hands were literally dripping with sweat so that she never shake hands with people as it was too embarassing.

She decided to try some supplements and after a few months her condition improved a lot.
So before resorting to surgery why not try another alternative.
She took the multivitamin/mineral/antioxidant, Bio Omega 3 and grape seed extract.

i have this "problem", my palm n feet sweat for nothing, even when i am not nervous....i used to play piano and palm sweat so much tat my piano teacher gave me a yucky type of look as though i could control it...

nothing much i can do about it.....

botox injection for hyperhydrosis is alternative to surgery, Bt u need to repeat the injection every few 4-6 month or the effect will go off.

Please read under section "Treatment" and narrow down your alternatives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhidrosis

Regards, Joey

after all, only 2 solution available which is injection botox and surgery...haizzz~
