Even when I am not hot, I am almost always sweating (pits)...it is ruining my wardrobe and embarrassing.  I don't stink, I just perspire. I have tried pretty much every anti-perspirant/deoderant out there.

sorry, but theirs no cure that I can think of...once a person reaches puberty, they continuously sweat. I rocoggmend to change your outfits that your wearing according to your day. Ex: if working out, wear something that won't show sweat. I have the exact same problem. If you feel embarresed, don't. Many people have the same problem as well.

Your body works best when its temperature is about 98.6º Fahrenheit (37º Celsius). When your body gets hotter than that, your brain doesn't like it — it wants your body to stay cool and comfortable. So the part of your brain that controls temperature, called the hypothalamus (say: hy-po-thal-uh-mus), sends a message to your body, telling it to sweat.\n\nThen special glands in your skin called — what else? — sweat glands start making sweat. Sweat is also known as perspiration (say: pur-spuh-ray-shun), and it is made almost completely of water, with tiny amounts of other chemicals like ammonia (say: uh-mown-yuh), urea (say: yoo-ree-uh), salts, and sugar. (Ammonia and urea are left over when your body breaks down protein.)\n\nThe sweat leaves your skin through tiny holes called pores. When the sweat hits the air, the air makes it evaporate (this means it turns from a liquid to a vapor). As the sweat evaporates off your skin, you cool down.\n\nSweat is a great cooling system, but if you're sweating a lot on a hot day or after playing hard you could be losing too much water through your skin. Then you need to put liquid back in your body by drinking plenty of water so you won't get dehydrated (say: dee-hi-drayt-ed).\n\n\n\nWhy Does Sweat Smell?\nSweat isn't just wet — it can be kind of stinky, too. But the next time you get a whiff of yourself after running around outside and want to blame your sweat glands, hold on! Sweat by itself doesn't smell at all. It's the bacteria that live on your skin that mix with the sweat and give it a stinky smell. And when you reach puberty, special hormones affect the glands in your armpits — these glands make sweat that can really smell.\n\nLuckily, regular washing with soap and water can usually keep stinky sweat under control. Many teens and adults also find that wearing deodorant (say: dee-oh-der-ent) or antiperspirant (say: an-tee-pur-sper-ent) helps.\n\nSo don't worry about a little sweat — it's totally normal and everybody sweats. Sometimes too much sweating can be a sign that there is something wrong in the body, but this is rare in kids. If you notice more sweat, it's usually just a sign that it's time to start using a deodorant or antiperspirant. But if you think you have a sweat problem, talk to your parent or your doctor about it.

it is hyperhidrosis.\nyou have hyper sweat glands in your skin.\nparts affected: forehead/face, armpit, hands, feet.\ndoc says to use anti-perspirants. but if it still fails, an operation is required, an operation that will cut your sweat glands. but it can't promise a sucess always.\ni'll let you know if my case improves, cause i think maybe hormonal imbalance is somewhat connected to this condition, me will balance me hormones.

Well, if you feel that you are perspiring unusually, then I would suggest you see a doctor. Sometimes a weird perspiration rate can be a sign that something is wrong.\nIf you just sweat, here's an idea that will work. Find a gel anti-perspirant and apply normally. Before it dries however, dust it baby, dusting, or body powder. This will keep you dry all day. I sweat like a pig when I exercise and it keeps me drier than the Mohave Desert!

I tell you to get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your hands. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on your hands at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it.  I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

I read in a magazine that you could put deodorant on your feet. If it helps you not sweat from your arm pets then your feet wont sweat.\nGood Luck

Yes, I sweat but it doesn't increase armpit hair. I've never heard of that before. I don't have a problem with underarm hairs.

The botox treatment is not painful and it is effective, but it is going to cost quite a bit.  Just say no to botox.  Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

It is perfectly natural to have some odor.  Simply wash with a clean washcloth with some soap and water once or twice a day.  If that doesn't do it, soak a papertowel in rubbing alcohol and rub it on your pits.  That should kill off any odor-causing bacteria.\n\nAnother reason for odor could be your clothing.  Soak your clothes for a few hours and then wash them with soap and a little bleach.\n\nRemoval of the sweatglands is unnecesary and potentially harmful.

I am in the medical profession and I can tell you firsthand that you are not the only person who suffers from this kind of problem, and I am well aware it can be very embarrassing.  I have done some research on this topic and I remember reading people suggesting different things, like crystal deodorant sticks, etc.  But there is only one thing that I have found to actually work, and work well.  I was very skeptical at first, but was quickly proved wrong.\n\nThe product is called Odaban.  It's a spray that comes in a little bottle.  You spray it on at night to the area or areas that are affected by excessive sweating.  You aren't supposed to use very much of it, just one spray per area I think.  You can also spray the stuff onto a piece of cotton and apply it that way for a more controlled application.  There are more directions on the site for its use.  You don't have to use it every day once it starts working, you only need to use it once or twice a week to "maintain" its effects.  \n\nI'm not sure exactly how it works, but it does work, I promise.  You can use it on any area of the body, but don't get it in your eyes, and make sure you wash hands well after using it.  It is not very expensive.  I don't know where you live, but it's shipped from the UK.  Even with shipping it only costs $15.    \n\nI'm providing you with the link at the bottom.  The other link is one person who had a problem with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) talking about his experience with Odaban.  PLEASE at least give this stuff a try.  It is so worth it.  I have seen it work for other people.  In as little as a week you might not ever have to worry about this again.\n\nBest of luck to you.\n\nP.S.  Like the next poster said, don't listen to that person who said to stop drinking so much water.  Water is essential to your body, and drinking less water will not help you sweat less, it will just make you sick if you get dehydrated in the heat.

I know there is a shot that doc's can give for serious problems. I'd google some natural remedies in her diet. A girl shouldn't have that severe of a problem. \n\nThe ONLY antiperspirant that works for me is Almay Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant, Clear Gel, Fragrance Free - 2.25 oz - NOT the other Almay products. I get it at drugstore.com.\n\n\nDr. Andrew Weil's take on this situation is:\n\nBody odor\nMost body odor is the result of bacterial breakdown of sweat. Perspiration itself is normally odorless. An easy way to reduce the amount of bacteria under the arms is to splash on rubbing alcohol. Most commercial deodorant products contain irritating or harmful ingredients, including aluminum salts and dyes. Avoid the antiperspirant varieties. You can find better products in health-food stores, such as those containing extracts of green tea, which is antibacterial. Beware of "natural crystals," which contain aluminum even if they say they don't. Stimulant drugs, including coffee and tea, contribute to body odor by increasing the activity of apocrine sweat glands, special glands in hairy parts of the body that produce strong-smelling, musky secretions. Try eliminating caffeine if body odor continues to be a problem. \n\nAnother herbal remedy site suggested this:\n\nBeneficial Dietary Supplements\nChlorophyll is an effective deodorizer.\n\nVitamin B helps remove waste.\n\nZinc helps balance the body’s metabolism and reduces the cause of bad body odor.\n\nMagnesium enhances the effectiveness of vitamin B and zinc.\n\nThyme and Lavender Oils kill bacteria.\n\nSage, when taken in tea form, reduces sweat gland activity.

I have hyper hyperhidrosis as well.  It started when I was about 18 or 19.  I would come home from classes and my shirt would be soaked with sweat, no matter whether it was cold or hot outside.  Turns out my father has it too and I believe it's a genetic trait that's passed on.  I tried, in frustration, every deodorant and antiperspirant on the market to try to control it, to the point where sometimes I would just cake talcum powder on my armpits or actually scotch tape folded up tissues under my arms to keep me from sweating through my shirt.  I even tried abstaining from liquids, including water, for a long time in order to "dry" my sweat glands up.  Didn't work.  I ruined a lot of tshirts, pits stained with the salty residue of excessive sweating.  \nFrom what I've read on the internet, there are really only three things that can be done to resolve the condition:\n1.  Botox injections-botox can be injected into the area (in my case, armpits) to temporarily numb/paralyze the sweat glands.  Celebrities often have this done before they go out on the red carpet to avoid sweating in front of the paparazzi.  This procedure is costly and temporary; only lasts a few months.\n2.  Surgery-the ends of the sweat glands can actually be burned off through surgery, thus ending the actual production of sweat in that area.  Costly, painful, and has the potential for later complications like infection.\n3.  The most drastic resolution is the actual removal of the sweat glands.  Not only is this costly, but in can result in incredibly painful rehabiliation, infection, and all the other problems that can come from invasive surgery.\n\nIn my case, my hyperhidrosis started to disappear about a year and a half ago and I think it gets better with age.  I still sweat through my clothes sometimes, especially in a humid summer, but not as much as before, and I do sweat the sheets sometimes, but overall my case of it has gotten better.  Although I'm not sure if they're actually influential on the condition, I would see if maybe there are lifestyle changes you could consider that may help.  For example, if you consume a lot of sodium or other substances that cause you to retain excessive water, or if your diet is generally unhealthy or you don't get enough exercise.  I tried cool showers instead of hot ones for a while with mixed results.\nThere are several websites with information regarding hyperhidrosis.  I found my info on Webmd.com but some others you may want to look at are:\nwww.sweathelp.org\nwww.sts.org/doc/4097\nwww.handsdry.com\nwww.sweaty-palms.com\nwww.hyperhidrosis.com\n\nYou can just google "hyperhidrosis" and find several sites.  If you haven't already, talk to your doctor to see if their are any non-invasive treatments or new medicines on the market.  You may want to speak to your parents or relatives to see if they have ever had it (I'm not sure it's genetic, but in my case my father has it, I have it, and my brother has it as well).  I hope this information has helped and good luck with it.

Okay a few options:\n\n1. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep out through the skin. Broccoli and other such give you gas and can also cause odor, and there are plenty of other foods that change your body chemistry as you eat them.\n\n2. Change your deoderant. Maybe a spray instead of a stick, and spray your torso. \n\n3. Check your soap. Some perfumed soaps don't react well with a person's body chemistry making a minor smell more apparent.\n\n4. Make sure you're clothes let your body breathe. Also check to make sure your clothes don't make it worse. I thought I was having an issue but it turned out that one of my suits (for reasons I still don't know) was stinking to high heaven when I sweated. The others were fine.\n\n5. There are several natural odor-eliminatory sprays you can use. www.approachit.net has a really good one. I use it if I know I'll be hustling around in the heat and won't have time to put on deoderant except in the morning. A few sprays and I'm odor-free (not to mention my house and office!)\n\nGood luck!

I know what you mean about some deodorants aren't working for you. I've actually had allergic reactions to some. I've had good luck with Ban products and, most recently I've fallen in love with the new Dove deodorants, especially the Cool Cucumber & Green Tea...or something like that

Here are some answers:\n\nExcessive Perspiration\n\nQ:  My 23 year old son has regular problems with excessive perspiration under his arms. He has been dealing with this problem since his teen years. There is not really an objectionable odor, but he just gets very wet at times. There seems to be no nervousness or anxiety that causes this. \n\nAbout 2 years ago, our family physician gave him a prescription for an anti-perspiration product which caused burning and itching. Is there something else on the market? Are there oral medications that might alleviate the symptoms? Would a specialist be able to help? \n\n\n\nA:  Sweating is the body's way of cooling itself, but it can also be a response to emotional stress. Excessive sweating usually involves the armpits, palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and reflects increased impulses from the central nervous system (beyond our conscious control). There usually is no underlying problem with the sweat glands or brain. \n\nThe good news is that there are several options for your son to try. Brad Straka, MD, a dermatology resident at the Medical College of Wisconsin, recommends the use of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol). One to three treatments a week for a few weeks should result in improvement , and then one treatment a week should suffice to maintain dryness. This is a prescription anti-perspirant and if this is the same one that caused irritation for your son, he could try aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac), a less potent solution. \n\nA unique treatment is the use of electrical current (iontophoresis) to block the activity of the sweat glands. The device (Drionic) is used daily for a week and may relieve sweating for up to a month! Oral medications have been used, but usually result in undesireable side effects, such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and urinary retention. If none of these options work, liposuction of the sweat glands can be performed. \n\nA dermatologist will be able to work with your son in finding the best treatment for him. \n\n\nArticle Created: 2000-04-13\nArticle Reviewed: 2000-04-14\n\n"Dear Doctor" is a compilation of patient questions answered by doctors from the Medical College of Wisconsin. \n \n \n  \n \nHome | About HealthLink |  Medical College of Wisconsin |  ClinicLink |  Clinical Trials\nContact Information |  Site Map |  Disclaimer |  Privacy |  Copyright Notice \n\n© 2003 Medical College of Wisconsin
