MY VIDEO MAKING GEAR:

A few of my favourite questions/comments from this video are:

1) Dear Abraham, can you please do a video to help with excessive sweating? - 00:21

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR LOCALISED SWEATING:
Aluminium chloride, its the active ingredient in many commercially available antiperspirants. But stronger preparations are available from the pharmacy which can be used under the arms, hands and feet. Please note though these are very strong and can make the skin very sore especially to begin with but can have very good results.

The best thing to do is speak to your pharmacist first so they can make sure your safe and suitable to use it, also always read the information leaflet. There are also some newer aluminium chloride antiperspirants with aloe vera which do cause less sensitivity.

If there's no obvious cause for your sweating, and nothing seems to be helping, then you may be referred to a specialist (dermatologist). They may recommend other prescribed treatments that you can try, such as:

• Solutions of the anticholinergic drug glycopyrrolatecan reduce sweating in localised areas such as the scalp and forehead. However, this is rarely available on the NHS in the UK.
• Iontophoresisis a method of passing a small electric current through areas of skin immersed in a dish of water. It is used for the armpits, palms and soles.
• Botulinum toxinderived from bacteria (one brand name is “Botox”) can be injected into the skin in very small carefully controlled doses to block the action of the nerves which activate the sweat glands. This treatment usually works very well, is quite widely available privately, but is only available in a few NHS centres in the UK. The effect usually lasts 2-6 months, although some patients may continue to benefit for 12 months, and the treatment can be repeated.
• MiraDry is a new treatment that uses controlled microwave technology destroy the sweat glands without the need for surgery. This is not usually available as an NHS treatment in the UK.

2) OMG! I am 34, I was using mouthwash or water right after brushing all my life! Thank you for that video.

3) Did you naruto run in 4:37? Like if he did. This is one of those types of comments.

Who else here hates it when people ask for a handshake and you’re like ‘pls don’t do this’

[michaelclark]

I hate sweating so much, it literally activates my anxiety. Then its just becomes a cruel cycle. Drives me insane.

[IgnitedFlames]

Who has sweaty hands just watching this

[swirex]

Thank you so much for this because having hyperhidrosis is one of the most annoying and embarassing things. Been loving watching your vids

[lolpace]

Me: *EXIST*
My sweat glands: LITERALLY FLOODING

[StargazingWolf]

I sweat a lot, I even sweat when it's freezing outside (my body is a heater basically) and every time I ask my doctor to give me something to help reduce the sweat he says no and adds "you should just shower more" 🙄

[atashi]

My face sweats SO MUCH, it's embarrassing and annoying ): I'm a sporty girl. Periodt

[richardcastillo]

“worrying about sweatingz...viscous cycle that actually makes it worse”
that’s so unfair yo😔

[luciagomez]

I even sweat sleeping, I mean. It never stops, I hate waking up and having my neck flooding

[RandyMCPEmaster]

Me doing nothing: no sweat
Me doing anything that exist: FLOODING

[andsings]

Been living with this for forever. Hands, feet, armpits and sometimes my back and butt especially when it’s hot outside. It’s hard not being able to wear sandals or heels without my feet sweating or holding hands with a guy I like. I can’t even shake a hand without my hands sweating which makes it hard for work.

[dajf]

I sweat when I get out the shower, when I do dishes, when I walk to the freaking car, all the time. It’s like my face and chest and neck just bursts with sweat. I’ve resorted to taking cold showers for a very short term fix 😭😭😭

[imtherealminyoonginokiddin]

I just pressed like to this video using my *excessively* sweaty hands

[lexishere]

Mine isn't very severe but whenever I'm doing little things like having someone take my pictures or even going to school, my underarms would start sweating and its annoying.

[dustycamera]

Skip to 2:38 if you just need a fix and allredy know about the condition. Great video!

[rahmahmohamed]

The responding to comments is soo engaging!! Great videos!!!

[larryk]

I sweat a lot on my face, it's really embarrassing. Even when I'm relaxed, it keeps pouring. It has really affected my confidence.

[benzopasq]

I always wear a hoodie, even the summer when it's hot. It's one of the worst things you could ever do but.. I do it to avoid getting bullied.

[vladitargovski]

Sweating gives me so many life issues it's unreal. I even avoid getting a partner because I don't want her to feel my sweaty hands all the time.
