When I was first diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, I scoured the internet high and low looking for personal blogs that shared stories about women like me.
I wanted to know how other women managed their excessive sweating, what tips or tricks I could implement, and if anyone out there shared similar experiences. I wanted to feel less alone.
I quickly found out why hyperhidrosis is often referred to as a ‘hidden’ medical condition. There simply weren’t that many people blogging about their experiences with hyperhidrosis.
Fast forward 15 years or so, and there still aren’t too many personal blogs geared towards with hyperhidrosis. But there aren’t none!
If you’re looking for hyperhidrosis blogs too, I’ve got you girl! I’ve assembled a list of the top blogs below to save you time searching.
If you know of a hyperhidrosis blog that should be added to this list, send me a message or DM me on Instagram.
Happy reading!
