For Hyperhidrosis "I've had hyperhidrosis for 15 years. I would embarrassingly sweat through multiple shirts daily. Business meetings were awful. I would actually adhere my wife's menstrual pads to my undershirts to try and get me through the day, but would eventually sweat through those too. In a recent visit to my dermatologist, he prescribed Drysol/Hypercare. Skeptically, I applied it that night. It burned and itched, keeping me up all night. The next day, I was COMPLETELY dry. I applied it again the next night, still itched but not as bad - slight rash. I took the next 3 nights off to let my armpits heal and still no sweat. I'm on my 2nd week, 3rd application and NO SWEAT. Far less irritation now, dry, and couldn't be happier - truly life changing."

For Hyperhidrosis "This product is absolutely amazing! I have only been using it for a few weeks, but it is great. I honestly used to always wear black shirts and the same black jacket because I would sweat over nothing, and being active (like walking and physical education) made it worse. I finally had a doctor's appointment and told her about my problem and expected her to say that I would have to get surgery or something, but instead, she prescribed me this. At first, I thought I was hopeless and nothing could help, but I was wrong. It is a MAJOR self-esteem and confidence boost now that I can wear whatever I want. There is just one big problem with this product. I don't know if it happens to other people, but it has given me a major rash, and it's very hard not to itch."

For Hyperhidrosis "This literally changed my life. I can now wear colorful shirts without worrying about sweat stains. It worked after the first application. My doctor said I'd experience 'mild itching,' and I wish she would've been more truthful and said 'practically unbearable itching,' but the longer I use this medicine, the less I itch. I don't itch at all anymore when I put it on. If I use it daily, I get a dry, painful rash in my underarms, so I use it every other or every 2 days."

For Hyperhidrosis "Armpits would sweat profusely. I would stuff paper towels under my armpits, and they would come out drenched. I used Hypercare for the first time. The sweating completely stopped. However, I broke out in a bad rash under my armpits the first time I applied it. I noticed that my armpits were completely dry within the first week, but the sweating became worse on my hands and feet. I plan on using it for my hands as well."

For Hyperhidrosis "This is absolutely amazing. After about 1 3/4 years of sweating, I finally had enough when I would sweat through hoodies with huge stains. None of my friends would say anything about it, but my mom (who also has it) finally called my pediatrician and got a prescription. I put it on the first night, and it burned a lot, but it's nothing unbearable. The next day, sweat-free. Some days I would forget to put it on at night and go through the day with little to no sweat at all. Not even sweating through my clothes. I still put it on every night just to be safe, but it really works! I would recommend getting this product. Some people say it doesn't protect against smell, but it does for me. The only problem is a little itching during the day and a rash."

For Hyperhidrosis "Since about 7th grade, I've been dealing with SUPER sweaty armpits. I mean a water fountain. I would have to wear sweaters to school every day (even in summer). I avoided light-colored shirts and anything tight-fitting. I tried men's deodorants and every kind of women's deodorants out there. Finally, at age 19, I went to the doctor and embarrassingly told her of my sweat problem, and she prescribed me Hypercare. My first application itched and burned a little, but the next morning I didn't sweat. Last night was my second application, and this morning it had a little rash (I'm not worried), but I think it's totally worth it if it keeps my sweat problem under control. I should have gone to the doctor in like 8th grade! Thank you, doctors!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I had been suffering from excessive sweating in my armpits for at least 2 years before I finally got a doctor's opinion. Getting this medicine really changed what I did from day to day. I use it just once a week, and I never find myself sweating anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm sweating, but when I look, I don't have a speck of sweat. The only problem I have with this medicine is that every time I apply it, my armpits get extremely itchy, and sometimes I will wake up with a rash, but I guess that's just the price of not having sweat anymore. I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor about this medicine if you're having the same problem! Don't be scared to ask!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I was prescribed this by my doctor to deal with my excessive sweating under my armpits. After using it for a couple of times, I started experiencing itchy, reddish rashes under my arms. The rash didn't stop no matter how much I tried to heal it. I went to see my doctor, and she said it was an allergic reaction to the Hypercare and advised me to stop using it. She said I had dermatitis, which was the result of using Hypercare, and prescribed me a cream to cure the rash."

For Hyperhidrosis "Hypercare did not work for me that well and caused my skin to form a rash and caused it to hurt very badly."
