Sweat! =[

[SunKistBrunette3]

I'm so glad someone posted this. After finding no anti-perspirant or deoderant that worked, I did some research and have come to find I have what's called Hyperhidrosis. It's a condition where your sweat glands produce too much, well, sweat xP It can be in any part of your body, but as you, I have a problem with it under my arms. You may have the same thing. I talked to my doctor about it, and she prescribed a Rx antiperspirant called Drysol Soln. You apply it at night on clean underarms (or wherever else seems to sweat too much) and put plastic wrap on over it, and a tight t-shirt. (I personally don't use the plastic, but it's recommended) In the morning, wash your armpits off with warm water, and the sweating is gone. It does sting and hurt a bit, but it disappates the more you use it. Your body becomes accustomed to it I guess.

What it does is shrink the sweat glands so they don't produce sweat in that area. It works wonders and I have a lot more self-confidence since I've used it, because the problem just vanished after 1 use. You should talk to your doctor about it if you actually have Hyperhidrosis. As far as I know, the price isn't too bad, but your doctor may prescribe something else. Hope I helped, and good luck!

My friend had this problem and she purchased a special deodorant called "Certain-Dri". It comes in a green and white package. You can buy it at the drugstore. It was the only thing that worked for her.

For those of you in Canada this product mentioned above is not sold here.

I used to have the same problem! I mean, it was so bad, I got so desprate one time.. I put ducktape under my arms, so the sweat wouldn't go through my shirt! I know I know.. so bad! But then, I used one full bottle of this stuff called " DRY IDEA " and ever since then I have never has the problem and tha was like 5 years ago, I now just use regular deo. Probably have to get it in a drug store.. but trust me the stuff is GENUIOUS!!

To me you girls are lucky to be sweating on your underarms, I unfortuantly have an issue with sweating on my head/scalp. I have come to realize that i have been having this problem since I went through puberty During the summer walking to the train station or anywhere i start sweating, to the point that my hair looks like i was just in the shower, and my makeup melts/trickels off. I understand that sweating is a natural thing for your body to not overheat and stuff, but when it comes to the point of looking like a melted icecream cone for 3months. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be helpful. And do you think I should go to a dermatologist for testing?
