Altho the procedure using dermadry, there are some side effects which include dryness of the skin, then blistering, peeling, and irritation to the skin. After dermadry, use Aquarea helps soothe the skin. With kids, best to be aware that they may ferl very uncomfortable & danger of them scratching till skin bleeds.
Yes, read abt the side effects & am aware. Tks for the tips for after treatment. may i know if u or ur kid (at wat age may i ask) has used it before?

Just curious to know how many in sg has tried the machine and the results...

My nephew let DS try when we were in Melbourne, but DS didn’t like it. We respect his dislike, as if he doesn’t like it, it’ll be a struggle for him. It’s not life & death, so let him hv his choice. He’s in his mid-teen. So, guess if he needs later as a young adult, we can revisit again.

I find PodoSyn helps with maintaining healthy feet. When I walk a lot during my trips in Japan, US & Europe, the bacteria will cause odor in my feet.

I forgot to bring the spray in my recent trip & bought a can in Austria's pharmacy. Before starting my daily sightseeing, I'll spray btwn my toes. At the end of day, it's kept w/o odor.

I'm averse to unnecessary surgeries. Even when after I gave birth to DC, and got tendonitis & carpel-tunnel, I refuse to take short cut doing any op coz of after effects. Just don't want to regret. The pain went away.

I’ve had multiple foot surgeries and now have subsequent problems findings shoes to fit or that I can walk in. Therefore, finding a new pair of shoes takes a lot of time, trial, and error. I’ve almost run out of options, and was hesitant to order on line just because I knew I’d probably have to return them. As predicted that did happen. And though I didn’t find a shoe to fit, I appreciate the opportunity to give it a try. I ordered, tried, and returned several times without being charged shipping or any hassle. I thank the orthofeet for that privilege.

As a last resort, if all options are not working well for you, you can go for a sympathectomy, a surgery to remove the nerve that sends message messages to your brain for sweating. The surgeon will open a hole near your chest and reach inside your underarm to remove the nerve. It is definitely a very invasive way to stop excessive sweating. Do consider it well before embarking on it. If it is not for a life threatening health issue, I do not see why a person should go under the knife.

.
Many years back, a foreign friend of mine had this surgery.She told me it was a long queue for this surgery.She told me it was minimally invasive.I thought she told me was a small incision under her armpit to \"remove a sweat gland\".And she was elated with the result.She said she used to be very embarrassed when she went dating .and need to hold hands with her date as sweats were dripping from her palms .
Didn't know need to open a hole near the chest. :scared:

I think I will take any kind of surgery as the last resort

Hi all, excessive sweating is known as hyperhidrosis. Everyone sweats at varying degrees. It is fairly common nowadays that more and more people are talking about it and seeking treatment.

Hyperhidrosis is a genetic problem. That means if you have sweaty hands and feet, your offsprings, even the next generation, will likely to have them too. If your sweaty problems are more serious than others, it is good to seek treatment as it can become a hindrance to your daily life routine and affect your social life and self image too.

There is NO CURE for hyperhidrosis. One must accept that fact and live with it.

There are various treatments available. You should visit a dermatologist in National Skin Centre. The doctor will discuss with you the various options to treat you. One is to apply Driclor on your hands and feet and even your underarms every night on dry skin just before you sleep. It is a liquid chemical containing aluminium chloride and alcohol. It can cause skin irritations if you have very sensitive skin. Another better treatment is Iontophorosis. You put your hands into two trays of water connected to a small machine whereby a low electric current is passed through the water. It is a 20-min treatment process to ‘soak’ your hands or feet. Your skin stay dry for an average of 3 days to 3 weeks, depending on individuals. You have to go back for this treatment again once your hands and feet start sweating again as there is no cure for hyperhidrosis. In NSC, they mix a glycol medicine ( a controlled drug in Singapore) in the water that you soak your hands with. Strangely, water does not work in Singapore but it does in the States and other countries. It could be due to the mineral content in the our water or Singapore is simply too humid to begin with. There are side effects to using glycol medicine like having dry throat, headaches etc but these are nothing if Iontophorosis can help curb your excessive sweating. The Iontophorosis machine can be bought from overseas and there are several types available. Just google and find out more for yourself… They are not cheap though.

As a last resort, if all options are not working well for you, you can go for a sympathectomy, a surgery to remove the nerve that sends message messages to your brain for sweating. The surgeon will open a hole near your chest and reach inside your underarm to remove the nerve. It is definitely a very invasive way to stop excessive sweating. Do consider it well before embarking on it. If it is not for a life threatening health issue, I do not see why a person should go under the knife.

Of course, you can try TCM. Even that, the Chinese physician promises nothing as TCM also claims hyperhidrosis is difficult to cure and the process is long. I have heard of successful cases though. One needs to be patient and have faith in the treatment procedures. Most important is to stay upbeat and make the best of what we can.

My youngest kid has sweaty palms and feet too. I realized that my child can get very sensitive at times and feels inferior. While I can't cure her sweaty palms and feet, below are some steps I have taken, and it seems to have improve her own confidence:

[list]

I always assured her that it is okay, and I deliberately continue to hold on to her hands though her hands are wet and doesn't make mention of it.

[/list][list]

I let her wear socks and change her socks very regularly. It is important to prevent fungal infection at her feet as this will cause the feet to be smelly

[/list][list]

I get her to air her feet wherever possible

[/list][list]

I get wash her feet properly with soap every time she bathes and whenever she comes home from outside, to wash her feet as well

[/list]Guess every child is different, and as parents, we just have to keep trying until we find something that seems to work!

Dd’s sweaty palms problems seem to have disappeared. I won’t suggest applying anything. Substances work mainly by absorb sweating. Absorbant will eventually produce residue when saturated. Dd used towels often. Towel and fan should keep sweatiness at bay. Hope your dear one grows out of it, you never know.

Hi

My kids have sweaty palms and it tends to aggravate their eczema. PD recommended me to apply Talcum powder on my son’s palm to prevent sweating. But his airway is sensitive and we have stopped using Talcum powder in our family.

Anyone has other recommendation for specifically sweaty palm?

My son's sweaty palms and sole now cause eczema....blisters and pus appear suddenly without our notice. We went to kk skin clinic but the medicine given was to treat fungus, as adviced by a skin specialist in Bishan. It hurts to see him in pain with blisters on hand and soles. Any advice?

Having blisters and pus is quite serious for sweaty palms. Maybe you can teach your son not to keep \"chionging\" for any work that he does with a pen. Ask him to do slowly. Once he starts getting sweaty palms halfway doing his work, ask him to stop and rest his hands for a while (wash his hands maybe?) before he continues.

For the soles of his feet maybe don't allow him to do too vigorous exercise such as running or sprinting.

But of course, the best thing to do is still see a doctor to seek advice.

I have sweaty palms too not very serious though. Guess its quite common. When I pick up a pen and start writing for like about an hour, after that my entire hand will be sticky and wet (sweaty).

Sometimes I get sweaty palms when I use the computer and hold the mouse for too long

She is ard 167cm and 53kg, but has a fair amount of muscles due to her sport. Probably average in body shape.

Wow, Insider. The lengths a mum would go to. My daughter has no noticeable smelly foot problem, probably because her sport is swimming! I’ll look up this post again when I need the above measures. I told her I didn’t think her sweaty palms were too bad. After that, she said she thought less about it, and her palms actually got drier.

My daughter, 15 y.o., just began to have some problems with sweaty palms and soles. She is also the first person to feel fingers and toes freezing when we go to very cold places. She is also more sensitive to pain and empathetic to others feeling pain. Wonder if it is all related?

Thank you everyone! I have bought anti-deodorant (not sure if these are good for kids to apply) for my sonny but reckon it only helps to reduce smell, not sure if it works in the long run. A GP I consulted discourage kids to undergo ops for removing glands, he only prescribed some cream for my sonny for his palms that, at times get itchy with rashes once his hands get too sweaty. Now that my sonny is getting conscious of his sweaty hands n feet, I hope I can help save him from any embarrassment. It could be my fault…yes, I craved for Coke, carbonated drinks I dislike before pregnancy…

You can try to apply Driclor to the palms every night before going to bed. It is a roll-on to prevent excessive perspiration. It can bought at major pharmacies. See the link for a picture of the packaging.

Getting toe socks also helps, in this way the sweat from the toes do not get mixed together. That and some powder helped my nephew with his smelly feet problem.

one TCM told us that sweaty palm/sole is due to drinking too much cold drinks.

juzmaine,

I have actually come across a friend who was so conscious about his feet. I recalled it was a chalet outing (during teenage years), he actually \"evacuated\" everyone from the chalet when he was about to walk in.

My ds is very thick skinned. I realised some shoes are really bad for him. We need to ensure he changes his socks and also we try to get leather shoes for him, that helps.

Most people I know have sweaty feet. It seems to be a common problem. Wearing leather shoes is known for preventing the hong kong feet smell.

hi juzmaine

is yr DS’s sweaty palm and sole very serious? When i was a young gal, very "cham" i had very serious sweaty palm problem. I still remembered when I took exam, need to bring a hanky so I can put my hand on the hanky to write so my paper will not be wet…it was that serious. Also when I was dating my DH (bf then), always felt bad for him to hold my sweating hand though he does not mind at all.

In the end, I went for an operation to remove my sweat glands when I was 20 yrs old. For my feet, no cure though, still have to endure sweaty feet.

I have sweaty feet and palms since young. It's very problematic!

I bought this product last year: http://www.iherb.com/Naturally-Fresh-Foot-Spray-Deodorant-Crystal-4-fl-oz-120-ml/15631?at=0
(iHerb ships direct to SG. Use YAF688 to get $5 off your first order! I've shared other great products I often purchase from iHerb at my blog: thelittleonesinmylife.blogspot.com)

I'm sharing it with my 4yo boy who has the same problem as me. It keeps the feet dry, so there's no smell.
