I don't know if my anxiety triggered it or if it triggered my anxiety. All I know is that it caused me to be extremely embarassed and dug me into a deeper depression. If there's a pill or anything that can remedy it then great ! oh and one without horrible side effects =p. I started suffering from it around the age of 14 and it got really bad at 15 but some antidepressants made it better and not being around too many people. There's too much going on with me so I don't know what's the right med to take or any treatment.

" Hello, may I sugest the following to control and manage to HH.
At walgreens B+Drier/Certain Dri is used topicaly at problem sites.
Robinul forte 2mg helps palmer feet and actualy(spck) full body issues.
Propranonol to manage anxiety it works very well. This may or may not help however this is a good way to begin let me know if it helps out. "

" Hello,Again
Facial HH man alive I feel for you, I'm sure you already know most heat is released from the head. Um, please excuse me have you had a CAt scan done to rule out anything and Have you had a complete physical as well as blood labs drawn?
Hang in there, there is hope and it is out there, I do not think that robinul is the correct medication.
I use B+drier/certain dri topicaly for my issue. what I have been learning is the the active ingredients Aluminum Chloride helps to shrink the sweat pores this I'm sure you already know.What I am sugesting is that you try B+drier and simply apply it to your face a modest amount and let dry then track your result. I mean if it can work on someones underarm why not on your face.
good luck "

" what's up, I just thought about something when you do apply the B+drier try it only to your forehead or one side of your face. this way you will be able to see how it will work and it will sting while it is closing your pores but the slight discomfort will be worth it. Let me know how you make out. Later Days "

" Hi, I totally understand. I'm on Robinul too, and it doesn't do too much for me either-like you said, just dry mouth! Now looking into other options, but I'm still on the Robinul for now. Hang in there, and remember, you're not alone! P.S.-I don't think I'd be too keen on smearing Certain Dry on my face if I were you-just because it works under your arms doesn't mean it's meant for your face. "

" Hi there, I also suffer with cranial hh and have had really bad times with it and no and again it really gets me down, I helped make a British documenatary on this and it was aired in UK in May and is coming to USA soon.
I have tried just about every treatment out there and unless you can get by the yucky side effects there is not a lot out there for you. I have ways of hiding it, I love to wear sun visors which are great as they catch the sweat running down my face, hats are great too. I have tired applying all kinds topicals for my head and they don't work. I do how ever recommend secure wiipe's esp when it is hot and humid. I have my own website now and there are a lot of us who suffer with cranial hh. Please feel free to come by and chat some time, great group and great people. Hang in there mate your not alone. I too suffer daily from this and have almost become a virtual recluse. Hugs to you and I'm there in the forum if you just need someone to chat with who also suffers the same as you.
