Sweaty hands

It's not the typical conversation you'd expect for Mother's Day. But a nonprofit organization that helps sufferers of chronic excessive sweating is urging moms to have a 10-minute, 10- question talk with daughters who complain about excessive sweating that stains their clothes or soaks their homework papers.

Hyperhidrosis is treatable, but many people -- especially teens -- suffer in silence.

Mothers and daughters may download the 10-question assessment at www.SweatHelp.org. The International Hyperhidrosis Society also offers "Teen Sweat 101"-- a free 50-page, full-color workbook. To get one, contact [email-masked]. Put Teen Sweat 101 in the subject line and your complete mailing address in the message.
