Sweaty palms?

V4NT0M · 23 Jun 2010 at 20:23

Anyone else get a mild case of clammy hands in the summer? My hands are nearly always clammy, using touch screen phones and touch pads is a pain, they've always been like this, anyone got a cure?

I get sweaty palms, and behind my knees sweat as well. Makes for some very wet trousers.

Take your clothes off, you'll be cooler.

Serious answer, not sure really, carry a hankerchief?

Would, but I think the other train passengers might be grossed out by my nipple hair.

Wiping them doesn't help much as it doesn't seem to dry them out and even if I do manage to dry them out they always get clammy again.

They're never dripping with sweat even when it's really warm, just really clammy.

Same happens to me too, I used to get really bad sweaty hands all the time when I was younger but in the last couple of years I don't get them near as much as I used to now strangely.

Some bint on bizarre ER had proper sweaty hands (mingin but lubrication I supposed) so she had some nerve in her armpit cauterized and it stopped it totally.

I get the same which is a pain here as everyone shakes hands or kisses

Stop hanging around in kids' playgrounds?

carry some chalk with you, should dry your hands up

There was a woman on "Embarrassing Bodies" whos hands literally dripped, it was quite disturbing!

I know a couple girls who get really sweaty hands... It's weird.

Mine are always insanely hot, whenever I put them on a surface it nearly always gets condensation.

My mouse is always sweaty

Carry around hand sanitizer with you, and wash your hands with soap when they're back, that's the best solution I've ever found!

I gather that's because it contains alcohol and dries the skin out?

there's a condition which causes that, in extreme cases they do something to the sweat glands to stop them working.

if it causes problems see a doc.

Eat some deadly nightshade.

weescott · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:02

I get that too. Annoying when you meet nice ladies.

Stop jacking?

Sorry

Spray antiperspirant on your hands! Or wear gloves. Or just waft your hands around like me when nobody's looking :cool:

Serious reply here. Buy some Driclor and apply it to your hands?

There was a big thread on here about it a while back.
