People mainly associate excessive sweating with armpits and hands. However, the problem can appear almost anywhere on the body – head, face, groin, torso, or feet.

Understanding the difference helps patients and clinicians to understand the cause of the condition and then to perform the best treatment option.

Currently, there is no cure available for hyperhidrosis. Several treatment options are available for the treatment of excessive sweating.

This free guide covers the following hyperhidrosis treatments:

• Prescription antiperspirants

• B. toxin injections

• Anticholinergic pills

• miraDry®

• Qbrexza wipes

• Antihydral cream

• Iontophoresis

“How to Treat your Hyperhidrosis” is written by Dr. Sandra Eriksson Mirkovic, a family medicine resident with expertise in Hyperhidrosis.

The post Our Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month Giveaway is Here! appeared first on The Hyperhidrosis Blog.

November, also known as Hyperhidrosis awareness month, is now also active in December thanks to hyperhidrosis awareness ambassadors. During this year we have worked hard to spread knowledge about awareness and give people that approached us with possible treatment information. 

As a part of this, our doctor and co-founder, Sandra Eriksson Mirkovic, has started her own Instagram account: dr_sandra_hyperhidrosis

Dr. Sandra daily communicates with patients around the world about hyperhidrosis, iontophoresis, and daily struggles related to excessive sweating.

She saw a need to gather more real-life stories and knowledge about hyperhidrosis. Information is circulating quickly in the hyperhidrosis society, but it is hard to differentiate credible sources from false ones.

Because of that, a lot of people are reaching out to Dr. Sandra Eriksson Mirkovic, with their stories and questions.

“I am grateful for the big interest, responses, questions, and positive comments as well as many followers in a short time.”

Sweat life campaign

In the spirit of hyperhidrosis awareness, we are happy to inform you that a hyperhidrosis movement “Svettliv” is ongoing in Sweden. 

This campaign is a product of collaboration between the Swedish hyperhidrosis association and Dr. Carl Swartling who is a leader in hyperhidrosis with about 20 years of experience in handling this diagnosis. 

Sweat life means that stories from patients with hyperhidrosis and how the disease has affected their lives are published regularly to try to shed light on what it really is like to live with the disease.

The hope is also that the campaign will put the diagnosis on the table of influencing politicians and decision-makers. The goal is to allocate resources to ensure that knowledge and care become available to everyone.

There are a few enthusiasts working on the campaign right now, but more people would help to be more successful. Above all, several spokespersons who can speak for the campaign in contact with authorities and the media would be a great addition to the movement. 

Of course, anyone who wants to participate in the project will have full support from the association, and members of the movement.

If you think you can contribute, contact the Swedish patient association immediately: [email protected]

We must not let this great chance to slip from our fingers!

November is Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month and we think that this condition doesn’t have the awareness that it should have, considering how many people are struggling with it on a daily basis.

That is why, in honor of Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month, we decided to give away our #HidroxaSE20 iontophoresis machine to one lucky winner. 

Hyperhidrosis impact on the quality of life

People suffering from hyperhidrosis experience excessive sweating in the armpits, palms of their hands, soles of the feet, and the face, to name a few places. It has a huge impact on the quality of life, and even prevent those who have it from carrying out everyday tasks. They frequently report frustrations or problems with things most people take for granted. Some of these are shaking hands, missing out on social gatherings, not being able to use their mobile phones, and other touch screens interfaces, or even wear the clothes they want. This can also lead to increased levels of stress and anxiety, as well as isolation and depression. 

We want to encourage more people to talk about hyperhidrosis in order to help normalize the condition. Therefore, raising awareness is the key if we want to make people feel comfortable enough to come forward to ask for help and advice. 

This is why we want you to share your story with us! Together we can use social media and change the life of present and future sufferers of this condition. We’re here to support each other.

The contest is open worldwide (to locations we ship to) and lasts until December 14, 2020, at 11:59 PM CEST. A winner will be selected by a panel of judges. The announcement of the winner will be on December 18, 2020, on our Instagram/Facebook profile. 

Your goal is to show us how much this condition affects the quality of your life while entries are welcome in all languages. To participate you must complete all the required steps. Make sure that your Instagram profile or Facebook post is public depending on where you plan to publish it, otherwise you will not enter the competition.

The Walk of Sweat will take place by association members in different locations around Sweden on September 19th. Members of the hyperhidrosis society and those interested to learn and spread knowledge are warmly welcomed to take a part in the activity, no matter where they are located geographically. 

Break the stigma around hyperhidrosis with the walk of sweat

Sweating is a physical condition accepted in everyday situations like walking, jogging, summer times, etc. People affected by hyperhidrosis struggle with sweating beyond the normal level at their job, school, cold weather. In all of the places where people who don’t have this problem don’t sweat. These situations tend to be extremely stressful and cause anxiety. It often causes people to try hiding sweat stains and feel uncomfortable. 

These examples, that Hyperhidrosis association stated, in their blog post about the event is one amongst many in the daily life of patients. That’s why it is essential to address these situations and to find ideas and opportunities. They will hopefully lead people to feel less embarrassed when they’re sweating in “forbidden” situations. 

These are a few amongst many questions that should be discussed to provide information and ideas on making everyone aware of hyperhidrosis.

Where will the walk of sweat take place?

Since the association has members all across Sweden, the movement has the potential to be recognized in multiple places. You can decide to go for a walk by yourself, with your family members or friends. Besides, you can choose any type of activity that fits you instead of walking. The association welcomes members to participate in the movement digitally as well, and to send pictures and videos of them taking their part in raising awareness about hyperhidrosis.

Social media hashtags: #hyperhidrosforeningen #walkofsvett #WOS #hyperhidros #overdrivensvettning #svett #svettigt #viarflera #hyperhidrosis #hyperhidrosisawareness

The main event organized by the board members will take place in Stockholm. The location of the walk of sweat will be decided based on the interest of the general public and members. If you would like to join the board members on the walk, follow the official sites of the association for further information. The event is entirely free.

Follow the public health authorities recommendations

Considering the current situation, it is essential to follow the recommendations given by the public health authorities if you choose to gather together with people. If you’re not feeling well or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms – please choose to stay home. Pay attention to regularly wash your hands, take care of hygiene, and keep the social distance.

Swedish patient association for hyperhidrosis

The Swedish patient association for hyperhidrosis has a goal to represent the interest of people suffering from hyperhidrosis, pathological overproduction of sweat. The association was formed in Sweden in 2011 by a group of patients from the Sweat Clinic in Stockholm. 

The purpose of the association is to ensure that people suffering from excessive sweating have the right to financed treatment by authorities, disseminate knowledge about the condition, create contacts between patients and develop further research on hyperhidrosis.

The post Walk of Sweat – Hyperhidrosis Awareness Raising Movement [19.09.2020] appeared first on The Hyperhidrosis Blog.

We hope you had a great summer despite the extremely hot weather that hit us in Sweden. The summer is a season evokes many different emotions for everyone with hyperhidrosis. Autumn has arrived and maybe it is a relief to avoid the heat and regulate the warmth and sweating with layered outfits. We at Hidroxa are excited and are looking forward to new possibilities for what the second half of this year has to offer!

After this summer, we have started a cooperation with Rikshospitalet, the Oslo university hospital. Of course, we at Hidroxa want our consumers to feel safe and comfortable with their purchases. Maybe you are wondering if it is worth to buy and own an iontophoresis machine or if the treatment even works on your body. Therefore, we always give you a 50-day money back guarantee but we are trying to go further than that. By cooperating with the Oslo university hospital you can as a patient start a treatment at the clinic, and if it is working for you, continue the treatment by yourself at home. We are hoping for more cooperation’s with different clinics all around Scandinavia as soon as possible.

Svettpodden, that Sandra takes part in, is continuing to release fresh, interesting and funny episodes. The latest episode is about children, adolescents and pregnant women with hyperhidrosis. What can we do as parents if your children are showing signs of having hyperhidrosis? You can listen on the episode here.

Have a lovely autumn day!

Hopefully, in the future we will have contributed to making information about hyperhidrosis and also the treatments more available to people who suffer from this condition.
