Your Support Can Help Us Make a Difference in 2025!

As we near the end of 2024, we want to reflect on the incredible progress we've made together in raising excessive sweating awareness as well as advancing education and care for people living with hyperhidrosis. We also want to invite you to be part of the impactful work we have planned for 2025 and beyond. Your support is crucial as we continue our mission to break sweat stigma, increase knowledge among healthcare providers and bring hope to the millions who live with excessive sweating every day.

Why Your Support Matters

The International Hyperhidrosis Society (IHhS) is the only nonprofit organization in the world solely focused on hyperhidrosis. We serve millions of people through programs that educate, raise awareness, advocate, and drive research. Hyperhidrosis affects nearly 5% of the population, yet it remains misunderstood, underdiagnosed and often stigmatized. Individuals who experience this condition face not only physical discomfort but also emotional challenges that can lead to social isolation, anxiety and a diminished quality of life.

With your help, we can continue to bring hyperhidrosis out of the shadows, ensuring that those who live with it receive the respect, empathy and quality care they deserve.

What We’ve Accomplished in 2024

Thanks to your generous contributions, 2024 has been a year of meaningful achievements:

- Ask Me Anything with Brella: We hosted an open forum, providing an interactive space for individuals with hyperhidrosis to connect with experts and gain valuable insights on treatments, self-care and emotional well-being. Watch it today!

- Early Access to Sofdra: Through our partnership with Botanix Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Sofdra, we’ve given our community early access to this promising treatment, providing a new option for managing symptoms. Learn more about Sofdra. 

- World Health Organization (WHO) Courses: We launched educational courses with the WHO, focusing on increasing global awareness and knowledge of hyperhidrosis among healthcare providers. This initiative is vital to improving diagnosis and care standards worldwide. Healthcare providers and patients can access free course slides for The ABCs of Diagnosing Hyperhidrosis as well as Sweating and Prosthesis Care.

- Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) Courses: Our ongoing partnership with EVMS has expanded our educational outreach, equipping healthcare professionals with the latest information and skills to diagnose and treat hyperhidrosis effectively. Access the free video courses here. Eligible healthcare providers can earn continuing education credits by completing these courses.

- Research on Sensitive Skin and Hyperhidrosis: We published ground-breaking research connecting hyperhidrosis with sensitive skin, offering new insights that could lead to better care protocols and a deeper understanding of the condition’s impact on overall skin health. Read the published study here.

Looking Ahead: Your Support in 2025

As we look to 2025, we have ambitious goals, but we can’t achieve them without you. Here’s how your donation will help:

- Raising Awareness Among the General Public: We’ll continue working to reduce the stigma surrounding hyperhidrosis through media campaigns, social outreach and events. Raising awareness is the first step in dismantling harmful misconceptions and fostering empathy.

- Educating Healthcare Providers: Your support will enable us to expand our educational programs to more healthcare professionals worldwide, ensuring that they are equipped to diagnose and treat hyperhidrosis effectively.

- Empowering Individuals with Hyperhidrosis: We’ll continue to provide essential resources, advocacy and support to individuals living with this condition, helping them find solutions and improve their quality of life.
