How to Deal With Sweaty Palms at School

It's difficult coping with sweaty palms at school. If they're bad enough, they can actually leave sweat stains on your pants and shirts. And once the people at your school find out about it, they may tease you about it, making your palms sweat even more. Luckily, dealing with this issue is easy.

Instructions

1. See your care provider. Sweaty palms may be a sign of a health condition. If there's nothing wrong with you, your care provider will refer you to a dermatologist who may have treatments for you.

2. Get Iontophoresis done. Iontophoresis sends small electrical charges through water to your hands and feet that block your sweat glands. A trained professional is the only person who can do this.

3. Consider getting Botox injected into your hands to block the sweat glands from producing sweat. Again, a trained professional is the only person who can do this.

4. Discuss with your care provider a prescription for oral treatments called Anticholinergics. There are many different drugs but most of them stop the stimulation of your sweat glands.

5. Try doing deep breathing if you feel anxious or notice your hands starting to sweat. Take breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth to relax you.

6. Think about ways to decrease your anxiety if anxiety is causing your sweaty palms. Consider therapy, antidepressants or a simple meditation technique every day. Talk to your care provider for further information.
