I have always mainly sweated on my face, but here recently it has gotten ridiculous. I get up in the morning and my face starts sweating. I get out of the shower and sweat runs down my face. And at work, it's the worst. I'm constantly moving, always walking around the store, fast, always on the move, all day. And I'm sweating so much on my face it is absolutely embarrassing. People constantly ask me if I'm okay. One of my higher ups asked me if I was going to die on him. I hate the sweating. I don't sweat anywhere else on my body, just my face.

So I did some research, and apparently it could be something called facial hyperhidrosis. Does anyone have any experience with it? The only treatment it listed that I can do right now at home is anti perspirant on the face, and I'm doing that, but it doesn't really help. Oh, and I sweat a little less when I'm wearing makeup. Yes, without makeup I sweat MORE.
I'm going to make an appt with my doctor, but right now I'm pretty busy at work, so it might be a while before I get to go.

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do until then? It is really bad, and I'm so embarrassed at work every day. I'm the only one who sweats there.
Please, any advice would be awesome.
Thanks!

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
