hayy

well ive looked it up and cos also i get the same thing when im in the movies and everywhere else when i hold hands with those special people. yes i have tried wipe my hands on my jeans, however once i have started i cant really stop, yeah the deo method is alrite, however that aluminium sutff is has a high rate of giving u cancer and if ur like me and your family has a high rate of cacner, u dont want that. so what i recommend is go to the pharmacy and tell them u have sweaty hands etc explain ur case, the more they know the easier they can help u, so from a guy to a girl, get a cream we would always like a girl who doesnt sweat on her hands, and the guys would also prefer not to sweat, but in the end they should like u for who u are, not for how much u sweat on ur hands.

I looked up a website and it says that there could be many medical reasons this is happening so you really should see a Dr. just in case you have a health problem and the sweating is one of the symptoms. Are you really stressed about something? Being nervous causes sweating and so you would need to control the stress.

The site also said to try avoiding caffeine, so if you drink Coke or coffee, stop and see if it helps.

It also said one home remedy is to boil five tea bags in a quart of water for five minutes. When the solution cools, soak your hands or feet for twenty to thirty minutes nightly. Problem with this is it would stain your hands!!

Good luck and do mention it to your Dr. because he might want to do a blood test, maybe something is a little out of balance and you need to be treated for something.

One thing that you can do is go to a family member and see if they know of any cure. If they dont ask a doctor or your pharmictist. I hope everything works for you!

cd206 agony auntI think everyone suffers from sweaty palms, it's a common side effect of nerves and I'm guessing at your age that dancing with a guy and holding hands makes you nervous, hell it even makes me nervous if I like te guy enough. Unfortunately I don't think there's any cure for this, all you can do is wipe your hands on your jeans before initiating contact. This may sound gross but practise it enough and people won't even notice you doing it.
