I have facial hyperhidrosis.
I sweat excessively all over my body... the most severe areas are my scalp and face.
If I go outside after feeling the air from the air conditioner, no kidding, in less than a minute, beads of sweat start forming on my body.
Sweat is dripping down as I come down the slide.
I sweat a lot, so I have a lot of oil on my face, and my skin has really worsened.
I don't know why I'm sweating so much lately ㅠㅠ
Can you see the sweat on my forehead, the wetness of my hair, and the sweat on my upper lip?
Maybe it's also because it's hot.
Even on days that aren't hot, I sweat...
I sweat even when I'm outside in the middle of winter.
Since becoming an adult, whenever it gets a little hot, I start sweating.
Even when I am stressed or nervous, sweat forms on my faceㅠㅠ
I am losing confidence because I sweat especially on my face and scalp.
This is like the face, which is also the first impression and the part that everyone sees.
But since sweat is flowing down my face like this
Honestly, it looks dirty and I feel more and more intimidated.
Even though I clearly washed my hair and came out, my crown is still wet...
I finished my makeup and it looks fresh and matte.
My makeup has completely smudged and clumped, it's a messㅠㅠ
It feels like I took another shower outside with sweat after just coming out of the shower, maybe?
So, I hardly wear makeup in the summer, or I can't wear it.
I tend to avoid meeting friends or acquaintances during the summer.
I wish I could stay indoors, but there are times when I can't.
You can't apply high-moisture or organic UV protection sunscreens either.
Anyway, because of sweat, everything gets clumped together, erased, and collapses..
So, I only use sunscreen that has a strong white cast and is non-comedogenic.
This helps reduce sweating a bit and also suppresses oil production.
But I can't suppress the sweatㅠㅠ I'm worried.
In the end, it's because of facial sweating...
I mainly meet with acquaintances in the fall or winterㅠㅠ
I sweat more heavily in the summerㅠㅠ
The bigger problem is that I work in the service industry.
When you go to work covered in sweat after commuting
When a situation arises where I have to respond to a customer, I really want to hide at that momentㅠㅠ
Service staff should have a neat appearance, but responding to customers while covered in sweat is not appropriate.
I just feel like I'm unnecessarily stressing myself out alone and giving a bad impression, and I have a lot of worries.
Facial hyperhidrosis is also said to be related to breathing.
People with rhinitis or sinusitis find it difficult to breathe through their nose, so they cannot release heat through respiration.
They say it is something excreted through the skin.
I have severe rhinitis.
So, it seems to be expelled through the scalp, face, and neck.
Thinking that facial hyperhidrosis is caused by weight gain and sweating
A few years ago, I lost 18 kg of weight (to reduce sweating).
But... the result is that the sweat remains as it is....
Even if I lose weight, facial sweating doesn't go awayㅠㅠ
There are also things called sweat suppressants, you know??
I initially bought and used an antiperspirant from the pharmacy to control sweating.
It is usually used on areas like the armpits or places where you sweat a lot.
I bought it because I thought it would be less irritating for my face.
It stings so much when I put it on my faceㅠㅠ
If you apply this, it reduces sweating in that area, but it causes sweating to occur in other areas (such as the arms or thighs).
I applied this, and my face is burning so much that I have stopped using it now.
I bought it hoping it would work as a sweat suppressant, but I didn't see any effectㅠㅠ
It's kept safely at homeㅠㅠ
It is said that sweat can also be suppressed using creams or sprays.
Has anyone tried it before??
Since facial hyperhidrosis isn't very common, there aren't many reviews eitherㅠㅠ
Drug side effects are also not to be taken lightly.
I looked into surgeries like this too, and they involve removing sweat glands or blocking nerves.
Surgery is also associated with the risk of complications, so I'm scared and overwhelmedㅠㅠ
I often wonder if I have to live my whole life as a sweaty person.
I also want to live with a soft, smooth face and scalp and confidently meet my acquaintances.
Are there any people who have experienced, are currently experiencing, or have been cured of facial hyperhidrosis?
If anyone has experienced this, please share your informationㅠㅠ
I wish I could sweat a little more normally. It's so embarrassing and painful.
