Nurses with Hyperhidrosis

Published

Are any of you nurses with palmar hyperhidrosis? I have severely and it makes it very difficult to do simple things in nursing...gloves, opening meds, etc. How do you guys do it and do your patients ever react badly to your hands?

No I don't have it, but if I did I think I would definitely be looking into botox. Have you considered it? There is also iontophoresis which is a bit less invasive I believe. Good luck, it sounds like a very annoying and inconvenient condition to have while nursing
