Sweaty Palms...?!


Question: So embarrassing. In my dance class we had to hold hands with everyone and my hands were all sweaty. I never knew that they would sweat like that until now! :( Whenever I held any of my old boyfriends' hands my hands were never every sweaty.

Why now? What should I do? Guys do you get grossed out if your girlfriend has sweaty hands?

Maybe you have palmar hyperhidrosis.

Or you're stressing about something. That used to happen to me, my palms would be always sweaty, like ALL THE TIME!! it really bugged me. It went away after a while, though. I don't know if anything was wrong with me because i don't remember ever feeling nervous or stressed out about anything.

I would constantly blow on my hands or wipe them on my pants. or i would make sure they were exposed to air or wind.

sounds weird, but try putting a little deoderant on the palms of your hands in the morning.

duh its gross?

why wouldn't it be. dont ask dumb questions.
why? now I don't know! how are we supposed to know!

gosh your just nervous don't rely on technology to get your way out of this one

No, its kinda sexy in a wierd way....

I have this problem. It mainly happens when I'am nervous. There is a perscription for sweaty palms out there called Drysol. Talk to your doc!

I found the link!

this is actually a disorder called Palmar hyperhidrosis...it is a condition marked by excessive perspiration of the palms beyond physiological necessity. It is caused by hyperactivity of the sweat glands in the sympathetic nervous system. Palmar hyperhidrosis is a hereditary sweating disorder, which often begins during childhood with no known cause. When a person exercises or becomes excited, the sympathetic nerve is stimulated and adrenaline is pumped into the blood system. As the heart rate and blood pressure increase, sweating occurs to control the body temperature. In a small percentage of the population (0.1%-0.2%), however, these normal physiological sequences work at a high level causing individuals to sweat at inappropriate times such as while they are resting, sitting, or sleeping.

People afflicted with palmer hyperhidrosis orexcessive sweaty hands often complain of cold, sweaty hands, sometimes even dripping with sweat. Because palmer hyperhidrosis is aggravated by stress as minor as shaking or holding hands, it has significant social and psychological impact on patients afflicted with this disorder.
