Social Media for Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018

Getting Social

Throughout Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018 the International Hyperhidrosis Society used global social media channels to spread the news that hyperhidrosis is common, that we're here to bring together and support sufferers, and that the condition is serious and deserves treatment, study and understanding. 

You can always help from your side of the screen by liking, following, sharing, and commenting on our Facebook pageTwitter feed and Instagram. We also encourage you to also create your own status updates, tweets and images to increase hyperhidrosis awareness.

We Awarded #KnowSweatGiftBoxes for Facebook Activity

Every Monday during Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018 we posted a #iCanRelate challenge on Facebook.

Then, every Friday in November 2018 we awarded a curated #KnowSweatGiftBox (valued at over $700!) to the person who wrote the most "relatable" Facebook comment! All positive engagement was welcomed, encouraged and tallied.

Gift boxes were mailed worldwide in December – just in time for the holidays.

#KnowSweatGiftBoxes were made possible by innovators who design with hyperhidrosis in mind. These donors were so excited to particpate in this IHhS hyperhidrosis awareness-building social media campaign.

Have a favorite product that others with hyperhidrosis may find helpful? Contact us directly and let us know!

Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018 programs were made possible by unrestricted grants from the makers of Certain Dri, from Dermira and from the makers of miraDry.
