There is a procedure recommended for those who suffer only from excessive armpit sweating. The procedure, called Superficial Liposuction, has a 95% success rate and is highly effective for those who seek a surgical alternative for their armpit sweating.

Please see a dermatologist. There are prescription anti-perspirants that are very successful such as aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac). \n\nThere is also a treatment aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol). You receive two or three treatments a week for a few weeks and then only need once a week after that.\n\nAnother new treatment uses electric current to block the action of the sweat glands. It is used daily for a week and then your sweating will be relieved for a month.

I actually have the same problem as long as I can remember.  I dont know the medical term for it, but it is called nut cheese.  I think it is from sweating alot, because I have never been able to get rid of it either.  I dont think it is anything bad.

Maybe you have hyperhydrosis.\n\n\nHyperhidrosis The best treatment is knowledge. \nHyperhidrosis is a medical condition described as: sweating beyond what is necessary to cool the body. The most common areas affected are the hands, feet, groin, face and underarms.\n\nHyperhidrosis can have a serious impact on self-confidence, personal relationships and even career success. But today’s treatments offer hope. Innovative surgical and non-surgical approaches allow you to specifically treat the affected area painlessly and easily.\n\nThere are two types of Hyperhidrosis. \n1) Focal Hyperhidrosis or Primary Hyperhidrosis affects local areas such as the underarms, palms, feet and face. It is caused by a malfunction within the sympathetic nervous system that causes an over-stimulation of the nerve to release a chemical called acetylcholine which over-activates the eccrine gland (sweat gland) to produce more sweat.\n\n2) Generalized Hyperhidrosis or Secondary Hyperhidrosis usually affects the entire body. It is caused by other conditions such as menopause, metabolic disorders, neurological disorders, infections, etc.\n\nCheck the seriousness of your Hyperhidrosis:\n\n\nHyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS)\nMy sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is tolerable but sometimes \ninterferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is intolerable and always\ninterferes with my daily activities\nYour score will help your sweat specialist diagnose Hyperhidrosis.

It's a condition, you need to go to a dermatologist and get treatment for it.  I have pretty much the same problem.  I know for the underarms you can get botox that will last for approx 6 months and stop the sweating.  I know how embarrassing it is to walk around with pit marks under your arms in the winter time even, hard to find deodorants that work well, which by the way, I learned that switching back and forth from Dove to Degree helps some, but go to the doctor and see what they can do for you.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  http://www.ineed2know.org/sweating.htm  I hope this all helps and I feel for you, since I am there with you!!!  Good luck!

Being a nurse in internal medicine I encounter this problem occasionally. If over the counter Mitchum doesn't work (something I recommend to patients) then see a doctor. There is a prescription form of deodorant that works very well.

There are prescription meds that help.  I recently read about Botox injections helping sweaty hands.  Trying an antiperspirant applied to your palms may help and it won't cost much.

I know what you are going through, I also have that problem.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  I use a roll on liquid that dries your skin out.  Ask a dermitologist what you could do, there are a few different options.

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

They have now applied BOTOX in the pits to stop sweating for 6 months or more.  Maybe something to consider.  It is VERY effective.  A one or two times a year treatment option sounds very good too.

I used to have the same problem.  You can Go to the doctor and get a prescription for an antiperspirant that you would would apply at night.  I noticed results within a few days.  I think it closes the pores in your underarm area so that you  don't sweat so much.  Truthfully it was a but strong for me and irritated my uinderarm skin-dry and itchy.  So I moved on to an over the counter product called 'Certain-Dri' .  It was awesome.  I didn't have to use it everynight after about a week-more like every other night.  You can find it at any pharmacy.  It might be on the shelves outside the pharmacy or inside so you might have to ask for it.  If they don't have it they can order it from their supplier.  They'll know exactly what it is.

That's actually true. A neurologist can help; they can perform a surgery that will sever nerve endings leading to your armpits, in order to stop overexcessive sweating.

Thats a really tough one I dated a girl that had that same problem. I thought shetook medicine for it never found out though. I think surgery is your only recourse. One thing that I have done before going out on a date and hand holding was an issue is get a really strong "anti-perspirant" and put it on your hands. That was you don't sweat so much from your hands. Sorry to hear about that. save up for the surgery.
