Student Life and Hyperhidrosis

Student life is stressful, and living with hyperhidrosis adds an extra layer of stress and unique challenges to an already stressful experience and life stage. Sweating through your clothes, trying to hide sweat marks, shying away from social activities, and/or struggling to write with a pen and paper or your laptop because of your sweaty hands are just some of the daily challenges students face. In addition to these unique challenges, hyperhidrosis is also linked to increased stress and anxiety levels, and can lead to isolation and bullying. Dermadry wants to end the stigma and get more people talking about hyperhidrosis so it can be normalized and more students feel comfortable seeking the help they need to succeed.
