Jaime will totally kill me for posting this... but she has a similar problem. We don't know what causes it... and it comes and goes, too. Gets worse when she sweats as well... but it's like cystic acne almost. And she gets it on her arms as well. We asked her dr once and she told her she had a staph infection in her skin - so she gave her some sort of cream to swab in her nose that was supposed to clear it up but no dice. She has me scrub her back w/ oxy facewash which usually dries it out... but other than that... doesnt' really ever go away. And the cysts that come out of the little spots are like little specks of birdseed! wtf.
I sweat like a mofo as well! I see an endo and I've asked her about it and it is supposedly not related to my PCOS. I asked her b/c I noticed it when I started the Metformin..anywhos, apparently mine is more anxiety related. As for acne...I've been going to the derm since 10th grade-and so you can imagine the havoc sweating has my mug! The only thing that has saved me lately is swimming in the highly chlorinated pool at the gym...with the exception of my legs-they look like leathaaaa! hahaha!! Anywhos, good luck, I hope the derm can figure it out! (I knew someone who had a surgery to decrease sweaty hands...I don't know if that would work for the pits :/)
its not sweaty pits, its sweaty head/face. hyperhydrosis can effect the hands, feet, pits or head/face...or all!!...the thing is, what ive read about hyperhydrosis is that lots of times the people are hot all the time as well...which i am not. i mean, im hot when im sweating, but if im not doing anything im absolutely freezing...it gets worse when i get anxious, so if im not particularly active at the time, and i get anxious, it gets bad...like, at work...trying on clothes in the store can be pretty awful too, i really hate it a lot...often times ill just buy things and wait to try them on at home. when i work out, it will take me a good half hour or more for my body to cool down. often times i continue sweating for a way long time even after im out of the shower...but then if its not really warm, like today, i got home, and showered and then took a nap, i was freezing the whole time, and woke up really chilled, so i put on a sweater and a scarf and went outside where it waslike, 65 and sunny, and bando was like, really? oy
(I don't know why i assumed that, sorry!) it is interesting though b/c that is where mine is too & not the pits! except I am NEVER cold!! Well rarely am I cold, I tend to run very warm/hot. definitely sounds like an internal thermostat issue for the endo, hopefully you can get in to see her soon too! yikes, lady! that sucks!! That sounds like a whole lotta disruption and discomfort :(
