I suffer with acne as well so surely helping me with sweating will improve skin.

Hi. I really can sympathise, I get the same but head only - wet hair stuck to my head, red face dripping sweat over my patients!! I was given amytriptyline which I couldn't take because I'm hypersensitive to anything sedative but it may be worth discussing with your GP.

I experienced the same sweating that would saturate my hair, but I was on prednisone for lupus and after I weaned off prednisone, it went away completely. Hope this helps as it was horrible for the 3 years of treatment.

How old are you? This could be age related as in my early 20's I had the same problem then it reduced as I reached 25. So it may be hormonal.
