Problem with oversweating/pit stains?

Question

Ooh, this is embarassing. Since I was probably 12 or so (I'm almost 20 now) I've had a horrible time with getting pit stains from sweating. I use anti-perspirant and deodorant and have tried all kinds of different types to keep from sweating. I don't have BO problems, it's just the wetness that is causing me problems. I wash well under my arms and shave everyday but this keeps happening.. anyone else had this problem? What suggestions do you have, and what's the best deodorant/anti-perspirant to use? I'm using Mitchum now because I've heard it's really strong, but it really hasn't made a difference.

Answer 1

I too have/had that problem.There are two things you can do.See your dermatologist and they can prescribe a medicine called DRY SOL.What it does is STOP the sweat glands from perspiring.This is normally used on people with sweaty palms.The thing you must remember is use it very sparingly because it is an irritant if over used.Also,Doctors won't tell you but you can ask about this. "BOT OX".What they do is they add Cornstarch under the arm and look at where the sweat begins to form( the cornstarch will darken) and they will inject the BOT OX in the areas where the sweat glands are actively perspiring.VIOLA done. Last about 6 months.Good luck and I hope this information helps you.Take care.

I had the same problem, and tried so many different deodorants, and none of them were effective enough for my liking. Some worked, but only in the short-term. My sweat glands seemed to become immune to anything I used, so that after a week or two, the same old problem would arise. Take a look at the link below. I have more confidence now, and wear all kinds of clothes without worrying about sweat stains or patches. I can even hold my boyfriends hand without fearing he will be disgusted by how slimy it is. Definitely worth it

I have the same problem actually, as do my two sisters. It's more common than you would probably think, and there are a few things that you can do to get it fixed. The first thing I would try (and this is what works for me) is go to your local drug store. They sell products solely for the purpose of controlling excessive underarm sweat. I have found that a product called Certain Dri that works well. You are supposed to apply it at night before you go to sleep, and it controls underarm wetness for the next day or two, depending on the person. I actually can use it every other night, and then I use a regular antiperspirant in the mornings (I use Adidas sport for that).

Your second option would be to go visit a dermatologist, which my sister did. He can prescribe something similar to the Certain Dri, and it works in the same fashion. Both of these options can cause some burning sensations when you apply them, but for me it's worth it.

Your third option is to go see a dermatologist and talk to them about getting Botox injections in your underarms. These will control the problem for about 6 months, but will probably cost more than the other options.

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

I have some suggestion to help you stop sweaty underarms by natural materials.

+) Apply lemon juice to your armpits before you go to bed.

+) Apply tomato pulp on your armpits once per day for 15 minutes, and then remove it. Try this for a few weeks.

+) Make a paste from ground walnut leaves and eucalyptus.

+) Drink sage tea every day.

+) Apply salt. Rub salt over the affected area. It may stick. If it does, leave it there for 20 minutes. It can itch but hold on as much as you can. Wash it off and scrape off everything that comes with it. The high salt content will help to keep sweating at bay as it reduces acidic levels

Answer 6

I have had that same problem for years too. I'm 27 now. I went to my doctor and it was nothing new to him. He prescribed a prescription anti/perspiring called Dry-Sol. Its only available with a prescription. It works though so try that I hope it helps.

Answer 7

use talc deodorant the good kind, and get some new shirts stop wearing them all day or 2 sleep, don't use clear deodorant either that's the problem, and stop wearing light colored shirts. Have shirts that you wear out or to work and take them off when you get home, and have home shirts for home. or just keep buying shirts
Better yet ,wear t-shirts under your shirts but the cheap thin kind so you wont be so hot

Answer 8

Try using Lady Mitchum antiperspirant, in the gel form. It can at least reduce the problem. Its the only antiperspirant I like.

Oh and talk to your doctor. You might have overactive sweat glands.

Answer 9

Keep trying different deodorants. I had the same problem and it was the brand I was using.

I can't recommend one for you because I don't use the women's brand.

Answer 10

There is now a treatment for excessive sweating- i think botox. Ask ur doctor about that.
