What Causes Profuse Sweating Of Hands?

My hands get very sweaty at random parts of the days and it gets extremely bad when im nervous. It can get so bad that when i wave my fingers sweat can fly off my hands. I have tried antiperspirants but they stop working when I get nervous in school. Please help

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

you mention that antiperspiratory not work right now.
You can think about iotophoresis treatment in which light electric current pass over hand area.
long term use of iotophoresis helpful to prevent perspiration.

Anticholinergic drugs can use to prevent more perspiration over hand.
Long term use anticholinergic is helpful in this situation.

Surgery is last options when all others are not work.

Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Thanks.
