Ever since I finished chemo, almost two years ago, I have had a problem with excessive sweating from my face and scalp. As soon as I do anything remotely active, it starts. It's literally dripping off my face. It's so embarrassing and I hate going anywhere because people stare like I'm some kind of freak. I always have to make sure I have paper towels in my pocket for my face. It's not stopping me exercising but I tend to do it at home except for when I walk the dog.
I guess I'm wordering if anyone else has encountered this after chemo and if there is anything I can do about it. I'm 33, I don't want to spend the rest of my life looking like a melting snowman.
