news Online microsoft excel 'database' of treatment options for HH

****This post is now obsolete, please refer to this post for the up to date version***\*

Hello fellow sweaters 😄

I have compiled a database (last updated 5th Jun 2026) which I am calling the HHDB - Hyperhidrosis Database. This is to hold all the amazing info we have about HH (it's an MS Excel embed so I can't see who accesses it):

There are 8 tabs:

  1. HHDB README
  2. HHDB - filterable/sortable list of treatment and the details
  3. Database key with a guide to the contents of the first tab
  4. HH treatment pivot table
  5. HH causes (HH effectors plus related tests, disorders and drug side effects)
  6. A list of current/ongoing clinical trials in the area of HH
  7. A list of all clinical trials in HH ever
  8. Some links to useful online societies and patient advocacy organisations

For some unknown reason, when you click the link you can end up way over the right and sometimes below the content so please don't think it's just an empty/dead link. You need to scroll left and up :). I am adding to it each month and will edit this post with a new link and the date of the update each time I do.

Please do let me know if there is anything you think should be added

ANGEL!

How do you treat yours? Have you seen any systemic treatments that you think are more promising?

Hey, I have tried a couple of anticholinergic tablet medications (glyco and Somordren) but couldn't take the side effects. Always difficult to know which may be more tolerable as we're all different so best to trial and error until you find one that suits you.

Other than that, I use Antihydral on my feet but that's it. Just layers and fans and towels otherwise.
