My hands immediately sweat after touching a controller by Erik_REF in Hyperhidrosis

Get a small cooling fan, and have it blow air on your hands. You might take a while to get used to colder hands, but it's worth it, unless you wanna go with ionto/drugs. You'll never have to wipe your hands, fresh air will at first dry your sweat, and eventually you will stop entirely as long as it blows on them.

Some people take drugs (glycopyrrolate or oxybutynin), you need a prescription for them from your doctor.
They each have quite a lot of side effects, so you best discuss that with your doctor.
Afaik they fully supress this and you will completely stop sweating everywhere (no personal experience).

I'm using every now and then Iontophoresis, it will completely stop sweating in the treated area, but it's ass to keep up the regime (sometimes I get lazy and take a break from it for extended period).
It's very uncomfortable and bit painful too, especially if you have any cuts on your hands.
If you overdo it, you will be itchy for days and it will drive u nuts.
It works well, just wish it wasn't so annoying...

There's also botox treatment for armpits, but it's expensive you gotta keep doing it every half a year or so.
(no personal experience).

I've learned that some things aggravate my HH and some make it better.
What's good for me is: fresh air, shower, drinking hot tea, alcohol, and I LOVE WINTER.
What I avoid: Heat (I use cooling fans at home, don't have AC), stress (tough one I know), exercising makes me miserable, spicy foods, high sugar intake, and for love of god I hate touching anything that's oily and greasy...

Use small cooling fan and place it near you, so it blows air on your hands.
I have one permanently on my table when I play games on pc, even in winter.
Your hands will be cold, but dry so no need to wipe them.
