Designer shoes? Probably not.

In my article with SELF Magazine, I discuss ten things I wish people would understand about those who have hyperhidrosis. Here’s number seven.

What types of things – either tangible items or scenarios you might encounter when you’re out and about in public – do you avoid because of your excessive sweating? Leave me a comment below, and head over to SELF to read more about what I have to say about #7.
