How to stop armpit sweating?!


Question: How to stop armpit sweating.?
Ok. So I sweat like a man even though I'm a female of average weight (college-aged). And I've tried every kind of antiperspirant out there- including Secret Clinical Protection, Drysol, Certain Dri....you name it, I've tried it. This is taking such a toll on me emotionally and socially. I just can't stand it anymore. My hands and feet are always freezing too. Doesn't matter what the temperature is, I'm still cold and sweaty. I did go to a doctor about it, he prescribed Drysol, but it did nothing but irritate my skin. It would be nice if doctors were a little more sympathetic about this sort of thing..Anyone out there going through this too.? And what did you do about it.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Well i didn't go through it, but my dad did.

He went and got himself some prescription deodorant, instead of regular over the counter ones. It's a special kind of deodorant that calms down your sweat glands.

Another thing you could do is take hormones, because sometimes sweating alot is due to over-heating and if you're freezing you're experiencing a cold sweat which often comes from your homones being weird.

The last thing you could do... which i don't recommend doing, is having your sweat glands removed. However, thats for people who sweat ALOT under there to the point where it's out of control. But it does help to stop the sweating.

Good luck, i hope it gets better for you!Health Question & Answer

i have the same problem. my pits and my hands sweat profusely. im constantly washing them because of it.

there is a procedure that you can get done. one of them includes cutting off the nerve supply to the sweat glands so they cant produce moisture anymore. another is botox injections. botox you have to get done routinely while the surgery is a one time procedure.

its okay to get this done because the sweat doesnt have to go out at your armpits, it will just go to another gland or you'll pee it out.

hope this helped =)Health Question & Answer

After your shower, try applying some peroxide to your underarms. I bought some vanilla scented antibacterial foam that I use during the day, on my underarms and under my breasts when I sweat a lot. I only use a tiny amount, but it keeps me smelling fresh.Health Question & Answer

avoid botox at all cost, it's dangerous.

try peroxide suggested by the first poster.Health Question & Answer
