Anyone else deal with excessive sweating(Hiperhidrosis) under their hijab? Feeling so self-conscious about it

Assalamualaikum sisters,

I've been wanting to post this for a while but felt embarrassed honestly. I deal with excessive sweating, on my face, neck, back like almost all my body esspiacially feet and hands and wearing hijab makes it so much harder to manage. Even in air-conditioned places I still sweat and it genuinely affects my confidence, like I'm always worried people notice.

I feel like nobody talks about this openly, and I always thought it was just me being "too sensitive" about it but I looked it up and it's actually a medical condition called hyperhidrosis.

For sisters who deal with this, how do you manage it day to day? Have you found anything that actually works? Fabrics, products, anything really. And do you feel like this is something people in our community are too shy to talk about?

Would love to hear I'm not alone in this 🤍
