Okay so can we please collect some remedies or solutions? I'm stuck between hyper fixating on reducing plastic clothing and sweating like I have a built in sprinkler system.

Layering cotton helps only to some extent, I kept some plastic gym shirts for when it's above 20C and I need to leave the house. People have recommended botox and I tried it on the forehead but it didn't do much at all to prevent sweating.
