Suggest Remedy For Unsocial Behavior Due To Hyperhydrosis
Hi my name is Pamela and I am writing about my son Darryl who is 16 years. In 7th grade he started sweating excessively. I have taken him to see a Dematologist. the have given him medicine to take, but he say it is not working. He is antisocial and haven't been outside with his friends in a couple of years. I have tried everything that I could try to help him, but nothing is working. He has let this hyperhidrosis take over his life and he refuses to go outside. What can I do

Hello Welcome to HCM
He has complaints of hyperhydrosis and problem of excessive sweating. Dermatologist medicines are not working. I would advise you to get his thyroid profile done. Hyperthyroid state is one of main reason for increased sweating. Hyperthyroidism also increases anxiety attacks and can cause severe anxiety. Severe anxiety might be the reason for his anti-social behaviour. Try to talk to him and ascertain his concern. Take him to a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and if thyroid levels come in higher range then also consult a physician for anti-thyroid medicines.
Medicines like Propranolol, Nodalol are very useful to control anxiety symptoms, hyperhydrosis and these medicines are also used in dysfunctional thyroid.
Thanks hope this helps you
