DEAR DR. GOTT:
I am a 66-year-old woman with a sweating problem. For the last two years I have had a problem with my head sweating uncontrollably. It’s like someone is following me with a hose and spraying my head. It started in the winter and became severe in the summer. I have seen an endocrinologist who says I am fine. I have also seen a dermatologist who put me on propantheline bromide and was told that if it didn’t work there was nothing else for me. I can’t believe there is no answer and hope you can give me some insight into how to stop the water works.
DEAR READER:
An increase in sweating may be related to menopause. I suggest you check with your gynecologist regarding possible testing and treatment options.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Menopause”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
