Underarm persperation?

by the sounds of it it's triggered by stress/anxiety/etc., so in order for any to work you need to calm down- you may not be counciously aware that you do this...\n\nTry a stronger brand, degree has alwasy worked for me...\n\nDO NOT use gels, or clear ones- if you'd prefer Degree has one that's "little black dress approved" that is pretty much clear.  You could also try a guys brand- but same thing- avoid gels & such

Get 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 anti-perspirant 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 not sweated under my arms for over ten years since starting to use this product, and nothing else was able to stop the sweat. You won't need any methods for hiding the sweaty pits if you use Certain Dri.  I used to wear a hoody to hide the sweat, and I did not need one after starting to use Certain Dri.

hi the plain and simple reason is cos unlike other parts of our bodies, our private parts are not exposed to air. so scrub as hard as u may they get hot and damp during the day. that's why we use deodorant under our arms. its the same way guys when they dont shave their underams even when they use the most expensive perfume/deodorant get an odour soon after.\nso the advice is little and simple, shave off as much hair as u can from ur private parts and for guys, u could ty using dustin powder, the sort used in diapers, so u'd keep ur private parts cool and fresh. pants are already hot enough coupled with the briefs/boxers u have to wear...\ncheers.\nP.S In summary it doesnt mean the guy is dirty, he just didnt know the hairs were an impediment to his desire for a fresh aura...

The smell you are finding is due to moisture and warm conditions that allow bacteria to grow and multiply. Yes bacteria. The smell comes from the "output" of this bacteria as it feeds. The same thing is responsible for underarm odor.\n\nYes, this could be bad if it is not taken care of. First it is generally unhealthy to be covered in too much bacteria anywhere on your body (though you will always have some so don't worry). The area in question could become sore, chaff, and ever get infected. Luckily the fix is simple, wash it every day in the shower.

Excessive underarm sweating is known medically by the rather dry name (no pun intended) of axillary hyperhidrosis, and occurs in both males and females.\n\nGenerally speaking, if this condition is not a symptom of an underlying psychological nervous condition (we sweat when we're nervous), it is caused by excessive transmission from the spinal cord to the nerves which control your axillary sweat glands.\n\nTreatments can range from simply finding a good antipersperant or topical aluminum chloride, to botox injections in the affected area, all the way to surgical correction called thoracic sympathectomy, where some or all the nerves controlling the axillary sweat glands are severed in order to permanently cease the excessive sweating.\n\nIf this is an issue which is interfering with your life and which is not being controlled by an antipersperant, or if use of an antipersperant is causing a rash, you should consult with a family physician or a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your situation.

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.

If it's near the aprocrine glands (arm pits, under breast, buttocks/groin area) then it's probably Hidradenitis Suppurativa. There is no cure but at least you'll know why you're getting them.

(m)\n\nAvoid pungent foods such as onions, fish, garlic and spicy meals. These foods can be smelt in sweat and make it more noticeable.\n\nMalt vinegar is an old-fashioned remedy that might be worth a try. Apply some to your armpits at night. Wash it off in the morning and then use your normal deodorant/antiperspirant.\n\nCommercial antiperspirants. You have probably tried most commercial deodorants and antiperspirants, but check the labels and look for one with a different active ingredient. If you have heard a rumour about antiperspirants/deodorants and breast cancer, take a look at the section on Antiperspirants and breast cancer.\n\nShave your armpits. Hair holds sweat and gives the bacteria more to work on. \n\n20% aluminium chloride is the next thing to try if ordinary antiperspirants haven't done the trick, but it can damage clothing. It can be bought from the pharmacist (ask for Drichlor, Anhydrol Forte or Perspirex) and should be used as follows. \n\nBefore going to bed, wash and dry your armpits thoroughly. If you apply the solution to wet skin, a chemical reaction takes place that produces hydrochloric acid, which can irritate skin and tarnish jewellery. If necessary, use a hair dyer to ensure your skin is absolutely dry. \nApply the solution when you are lying down in bed. This sounds odd, but armpit sweating switches off when you lie flat, and the solution will be more effective if applied then. The solution works by passing into the openings of the sweat glands, causing them to swell up and block, but if sweat is pouring out of the glands when you apply the solution, it won't be able to get in. \nIt works best if the area is covered with plastic cling-film (food wrap). Unfortunately, the armpit is an awkward shape. Use tape (such as, Micropore, which you can buy from a pharmacy) to hold the plastic wrap in place, then put on a tight-fitting T shirt to help keep it in position. \nDon't apply the solution directly after shaving, or the skin may become sore. \nWash off the solution in the morning, and don't reapply until bedtime. \nIf it proves effective reduce the application to every other night, and then to once or twice a week. Don’t use it every day, because it can irritate the skin.

Your question made me remember that I once had a bf long ago that had a thing for women's underarms. It wasn't a smell thing, it was the smoothness. And for the record, I am vegetarian so my sweat does not stink and I always gargle in the morning so my breath is tingly sweet. :)

There is no good scientific evidence to support this claim. The American Cancer Society is not aware of any strong epidemiologic studies reporting a statistical association between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use. \n\nTo the contrary, a carefully-designed epidemiologic study of this issue published in 2002 compared 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without the disease found no relationship between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, deodorant use, or underarm shaving. Likewise, we are not aware of any evidence that aluminum or any of the other chemicals in antiperspirants are mutagenic (cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer). Products such as antiperspirants are rigorously tested and evaluated by the FDA before they can be marketed. \n\nAnother study published in 2003 reported that women who used underarm antiperspirant and shaved their underarms tended to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age than women who do not. However, the study design did not include a control group of women without breast cancer and has been criticized by experts as not relevant to the safety of these underarm hygiene practices. It is likely that in general, young women are more likely than elderly women to shave their underarms, regardless of whether they later develop breast cancer. This is a more likely explanation of the researchersÂ’ findings than the suggestion that these practices cause cancer.

Dear Swampy,\n\nSomeone with more knowledge on the subject may tell you to stay away from such treatments, but I have a friend that got botox treatments for her underarms to reduce sweating.\n\nDoesnt sound completely healthy to me, preventing your body from performing a natural reaction (cooling your body) but if your worried about the amount you sweat, may be worth checking out.

1) Change your diet. \n2) Find a really good dermatologist.\n3) Use some stuff what atlets're using for their feet.\n4) 10% of water + 90% of vinegar. Clean your underarm with it.

I used to have nervouse sweating just like you.  I tell you to get 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 anti-perspirant 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 not sweated under my arms for over ten years since starting to use this product, and nothing else was able to stop the nervous sweat.

i'm not sure, but i can't use them. u see i use to use deodorant under my arms and it gave me abstors(excuse me if my spelling is wrong)but anyway it was gross and i still bare the scars.just don't use deodorant on an open cut like i did. it's worth the precaution, use something like baking soda under your arm to keep down odour and a light body mist.

Underarms change color because of removal of hair using creams or by shaving .Try waxing it from now on and also bleach it once in a month you will regain color.I use an epilator from Phillips to remove underarm hair ,it comes out by the root.

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.
