My roommate has sweaty feet and hands. Well her hands isn't a problem but her feet is. Her almost-soiled footprints mark on the floor of our bathroom or bedroom - sometimes this makes me annoyed. Sometimes she borrows my slippers and it makes me think twice if i'll let her. Anyway, I don't wanna offend her so okay I allow her. When we go out she doesn't want to wear slippers or sandals because she gets humiliated when people look at her feet or when it gets slippery and her feet get off from her slippers. I can see that she's unconfident of herself because (just one of the reasons). She doesn't shake hands with new acquiantances because of her sweaty hands too. How can I help her? Is there any cure for this problem? I prefer home remedies as she doesn't have enough money to see a doctor.

webmd.com is the best site to find even home cures for what you mentioned. It can give you information and things you can do. Check the site out and search for sweaty hands and feet and you will find information. Sometimes this can be a disorder, but believe it or not many people have this problem, like I mentioned, look at webmd.com. I hope this helps you out.

Oh great! Thank you very much. I tried some research too but all they say is surgery and clipping of a vein in a person's body works well. But home remedy is still the best. Thank you.

Baby powder is good for soaking up sweat. I don't have sweaty feet, but I sweat elsewhere, and can cause a rash. If you don't want to confront her and embarrass her, pour the powder into the footwear you loan her before handing them over. When she notes the difference, and asks you, fess up to your little beauty secret as if it was your little secret.
