We are your source for reliable, up-to-date information about hyperhidrosis treatments and research. We're also here to provide you with understanding and support. If your life is being ruined by sweating - you are NOT alone. Studies show that hyperhidrosis is common, severe, and emotionally damaging. 

Research shows that nearly 5% of the world's population suffers from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. That's right, 385 MILLION people are struggling with extreme sweating -- just like you!

Of course, no one's hyperhidrosis is exactly the same. Some people fill their shoes with sweat, some have dripping no-handshakes-please palms, some sweat through their shirts, others sweat through their jeans, and most have a combination of sweaty body areas to contend with. Regardless of whether you sweat dramatically on your head or your toes or anywhere in between, we know the embarrassment, anxiety, and crippling effects are real and we want to help.

As the only independent, global, non-profit advocacy and education organization serving the hyperhidrosis community, we encourage you to use this website to get smarter about excessive sweating. Read, print, participate, download, and sign-up today.

While you are doing that, we'll be running medical education courses in hyperhidrosis to help healthcare providers provide the best hyperhidrosis care possible, supporting new hyperhidrosis treatment research, talking to journalists around the world to encourage empathy and awareness, providing you with useful news alerts, and applying for grants so we can keep going. 

Here are a few of the useful things you'll find on the following pages: comprehensive treatment option information, U.S. insurance codes, hyperhidrosis clinical trials recruiting now, a Clinician Finder, an award-winning free blog  dedicated to sweat news, and amazing product discounts on the most useful sweat-management products. Your sweat is nearly always with you. We want to be there too.

Feeling the love? Share it! We are stronger when we work together. Donate today to help us find a cure and increase public awareness. Yes, tomorrow CAN be better than today.

Sign Up! Hyperhidrosis Patients Can Receive Free Treatment

It's nearly summer now in the US and the temperature is seriously rising. To a lot of hyperhidrosis sufferers, this will mean doing double duty when it comes to managing your excessive sweating. So there is no better time to take advantage of this terrific offer. If you are someone with hyperhidrosis who lives in (or can get to) the St. Louis, Missouri area on Saturday, September 24, 2011, the IHHS could use your help as a patient volunteer at the IHHS's continuing medical education seminar--Hyperhidrosis: Best Practices and Emerging Technologies in Contemporary Care. Volunteers will receive free treatment for their excessive sweating from some of the IHHS's world-renowned doctors as they train other practitioners in the latest techniques (and some tried and true ones too) for controlling hyperhidrosis.

This live-patient teaching seminar will take place at Saint Louis University on Saturday afternoon and it will not only benefit the volunteers. It will also allow participating healthcare providers (the "students") to learn both the basic and the state-of-the-art hyperhidrosis treatment techniques from some of the world's leading experts in hyperhidrosis care.

Patients will receive treatment under the guiding hands of IHHS president and founding board member, Dee Anna Glaser, MD � who will chair this seminar. She will be joined by IHHS founding board member David M. Pariser, MD, and Samantha Hill, MD, a pediatric dermatologist who heads a pediatric hyperhidrosis clinic in Milwaukee. Many of our readers will already be familiar with these doctors' names; each one is a passionate advocate for hyperhidrosis care and their professional experience is a major asset to these seminars and to the IHHS.

We are seeking people with all types of primary focal hyperhidrosis. Interested volunteers must first schedule and undergo an evaluation by one of these doctors:

Saint Louis University Dermatology

In the past, patient volunteers have come from all around the country to take advantage of this free, first-class treatment. Those interested in taking part in this free treatment should call one of the physician contacts (provided above) right away for more information�this is a valuable opportunity and these spots go quickly.

We realize that most of our readers won't be able to come to the St. Louis medical seminar on September 24; but you may still want to have a dermatological professional evaluate and treat your hyperhidrosis. Take a look in the IHHS's Physician Finder. Here you'll find doctors from all around the world who treat excessive sweating. Those with gold stars next to their names have completed a special hyperhidrosis training seminar, just like this one�

...And so the circle of care continues, with medical professionals providing care for patient volunteers and patient volunteers providing medical professionals with an opportunity to learn by doing. Of course volunteers will also be helping themselves by taking the steps toward managing their excessive sweating. And that's why we're all here�
