Excessive sweating on face and head
I have been struggling with this ever since i can remember, I sweat a lot more than other people, like a whole lot more, where my friends would have small sweats on their forehead i would be full drenched on my face and head.
This happens on me doing any tasks outside or just general heat, also happens when im eating.
It's becoming a very concerning problem as it can make you look nervous, or just a sweaty person im general which is not a good look.
Is there any treatment for this?

This condition is called primary hyperhidrosis, where sweat glands are overactive, especially on the face, head, palms, or underarms. It is not harmful but can be socially and emotionally bothersome.
Next Steps
• Start with prescription-strength antiperspirants (aluminum chloride based).
• Oral medications (anticholinergics) may reduce sweating if topical treatments fail.
• Procedures like Botox injections in the affected area can give long-lasting relief.
I recommend you consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist to discuss the best treatment plan for you.
Health Tips
• Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and excess caffeine as they can trigger sweating.
• Keep yourself well hydrated.
• Don’t try random home remedies as they usually don’t control hyperhidrosis effectively.
