Ok, I know this sounds silly, but it works....just apply some underarm deodorant to the bottom of your feet.  If they get really sweaty....use a deodorant with anitperspirant.

Get Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your hands. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain things you touch. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the anti-perspirant is gone, but you don't sweat at all for a couple of days.

If switching to antiperspirant doesn't help and you have enough money, you can go to a doctor who injects Botox into your sweat glands for this problem.  It's expensive though.

My aunt has the same problem. Just wear these gloves with open tops or try sleeping with your hands closed.

Background:\n\nSweating is normal, but palmar hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating of the hands. Excessive sweating of the face, underarms, groin and feet may also occur. This is not a case of being nervous. This is a physiologic condition caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. It occurs in about 1% of the population and may be hereditary.\n\nHyperhidrosis can be very embarrassing and debilitating. It usually begins in childhood. Moist hands cause sufferers to avoid social contacts, such as shaking hands. Teens may be embarrassed to date or participate in social activities. Writing a letter can be an impossible task because so much sweat pours from the hand to the paper. Employees may have trouble gripping equipment. This excessive sweating may be related to heat or stress, but it often occurs for no particular reason. \n\nMedical Treatment:\n\nAntiperspirants\nAntiperspirants (Drysol) can be applied to the hands and armpits at night and then removed in the morning. These are usually tried first and may be effective in mild cases. \n\nTapwater Iontophoresis\nSeveral times per week for several weeks, the hands are placed in an electrolyte solution with low level electrical current. Patients can purchase the equipments to do this at home. This may be effective for mild cases. It is time-consuming; some patients often prefer a permanent solution to repeating this treatment over and over again. \n\nMedicines\nAnticholinergic drugs (e.g., atropine or Robinol) can reduce the seating, but they cause very annoying side effects (dry mouth, difficulty with vision). \n\nSurgical Treatment\nFor decades, it has been known that nerves from the sympathetic chain in the chest control the sweating in the hands. Cutting this nerve almost always stop the excessive sweating of the hands and may reduce the sweating of the feet. The operation, however, was not done too often because it was performed through a three-inch incision in the neck, a four-inch incision in the chest with spreading of the ribs or a painful incision in the back. \n\nThoracoscopic Sympathectomy\nThoracoscopic sympathectomy is the name for the operation in which a nerve in the chest is cut. This procedure may be indicated for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis, reflect sympathetic dystrophy, and vascular disease of the hands.\n\nThere are a few conditions that are contraindications for the procedure. This includes sweating caused by other diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, menopause or obesity. The operation may not be possible when there is scarring in the chest, such as tuberculosis. \n\nComplications:\n\nThe most common side effects are the development of increased sweating in other parts of the body (compensatory hyperhidrosis). This may occur on the back or legs. Some patients have increased sweating of the feet. \n\nHorner's syndrome (droopy eyelid) may occur after the procedure. Fortunately, this occurs in less than 1% of patients when the operation is performed for palmar hyperhidrosis. When thoracoscopic sympathectomy is performed for pain in the hands (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) or vascular disease of the hands, more of the sympathetic nerve is removed and there is a slightly higher risk of Horner's syndrome.

try to pay attention to yourself the whole day.  just be aware of your hands and face.  every time you get the urge to do it, stop yourself.  If your nose itches, just be patient, don't touch it and it will go away.  \n\nEventually you will break the habit, the trick is to not let yourself get too involved in something and let your hand touch your face...

Try to stay cool and if you do get it bad put calamine lotion on it. Don't wear any clothing like nylon that will make your body sweat.

I wouldn't say it's "unhealthy", maybe you mean "normal"?\n\nSome people have sweaty palms normally, maybe you could make an appt. with an endocrinologist, As They help with hormones and glands. \n\nAre you sweating normally everywhere else, or is it just through your palms?\n\nSee a doctor, as I mentioned above.

Hot wax treatments can help immensely. It eases the pain and stiffness in hands, elbows and feet. My husband uses one for his hands and says it's the only thing that actually does work. Good luck and hope you are able to find relief.

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

Oh jeez, I can relate to this question.\n\nIf this happens in crowds of people, as soon as you start becoming sweaty- take a 'breather' very quickly away from others, find a place to sit down & just foucs on breathing.  Listen to your heartbeat & concentrate on calming images.  I try to think of my gardens or other people's yards that I've seen.\n\nI used to get so worked up that I would have to leave our groccery store & send my then-BF (now Hubby) back into the Store to find my basket!\n\nI have never used drugs...did my own Bio-Feedback basically by telling myself that I COULD do this and there was NOTHING to Fear.   Lots of prayer, meditation, some Homeopathic meds & Herbal Supplements and time have helped me a great deal.\n\np.s.  I'm 39 now (started when I was 19) and even though I've more or less conquered them, still have episodes where I need to sit down and just concentrate...Hope this Helps you!  GOOD LUCK!!

Some people have this problem both in their palms and the sole of their feet.  If it's really bad you do have the option of surgery to remove some or all of the sweat glands in these areas.  Otherwise, you can try using a little body powder/talc in your palms before you play your instrument or do other stuff.  Do your palms sweat because you are nervous?  If so, try to work on relaxing when you are nervous.

(m)\n\nAvoid pungent foods such as onions, fish, garlic and spicy meals. These foods can be smelt in sweat and make it more noticeable.\n\nMalt vinegar is an old-fashioned remedy that might be worth a try. Apply some to your armpits at night. Wash it off in the morning and then use your normal deodorant/antiperspirant.\n\nCommercial antiperspirants. You have probably tried most commercial deodorants and antiperspirants, but check the labels and look for one with a different active ingredient. If you have heard a rumour about antiperspirants/deodorants and breast cancer, take a look at the section on Antiperspirants and breast cancer.\n\nShave your armpits. Hair holds sweat and gives the bacteria more to work on. \n\n20% aluminium chloride is the next thing to try if ordinary antiperspirants haven't done the trick, but it can damage clothing. It can be bought from the pharmacist (ask for Drichlor, Anhydrol Forte or Perspirex) and should be used as follows. \n\nBefore going to bed, wash and dry your armpits thoroughly. If you apply the solution to wet skin, a chemical reaction takes place that produces hydrochloric acid, which can irritate skin and tarnish jewellery. If necessary, use a hair dyer to ensure your skin is absolutely dry. \nApply the solution when you are lying down in bed. This sounds odd, but armpit sweating switches off when you lie flat, and the solution will be more effective if applied then. The solution works by passing into the openings of the sweat glands, causing them to swell up and block, but if sweat is pouring out of the glands when you apply the solution, it won't be able to get in. \nIt works best if the area is covered with plastic cling-film (food wrap). Unfortunately, the armpit is an awkward shape. Use tape (such as, Micropore, which you can buy from a pharmacy) to hold the plastic wrap in place, then put on a tight-fitting T shirt to help keep it in position. \nDon't apply the solution directly after shaving, or the skin may become sore. \nWash off the solution in the morning, and don't reapply until bedtime. \nIf it proves effective reduce the application to every other night, and then to once or twice a week. Don’t use it every day, because it can irritate the skin.

Don't stop sweating. It is your bodies device to cool itself. The result would be dehydration. Your body chivers to warm itself. Try cutting down on your salt intake, if your blood pressure is allittle high.
