Hello doctor! Since teen years I have been suffering from sweaty hands and feet problem. It is really embarrassing and frustrating. I feel awkward to shake hands with somebody. Handling something puts my dirty sweat mark on it. So much sweat develops on my feet that my sandals become moist with unbearable foul smell. I feel like washing it everyday that I use alternate pair of sandals everyday I go in my college. And to make matters worse when I in tension it is even worse. It is a nightmare. Another complimentary and common problem is hair dandruff which which is as bad. I am fed up of this. Tried so many methods to prevent it and to no avail. It has stuck to head like a cursed magnet. This causes my scalp to be itchy and causes handful flaking. I feel like these problems kill me from inside. I feel kinda depressed due to it. Please help me doctor!

Hello lybrate-user. I can understand your problem but fretting over it will only increase your problem. Hyper active eccrine glands cause excessive sweating which is a very real problem. Firstly try a very simple thing. Use an anti perspirant on your hands and feet also while going out. This will block the glands and reduce sweating. I would suggest you to apply it on your hands nd feet even before going to sleep. Try Candid T V lotion for your dandruff. Use it twice weakly. Apply it on your scalp and let it stay for 10 mins. Then wash it off with your regular shampoo. If all these don't work, consult a good skin specialist. There are many other methods which can solve your problem. No need to be depressed. There is a solution for everything. Also avoid caffeine and spicy food. Hope that helps. Take care!
