Personal hygene (Plz help, very important!)?

Question

I need to know what is the strongest anti-persperant deoderant, or what I can do or use to keep me from sweating because I sweat even when im not hot.

Answer 1

Don't use anything to keep you from sweating. That's dangerous. Bits of anti-perspirant have been found when dissecting lumps removed from women with breast cancer. Sweating is normal. But, of course, you don't want to stink. My husband uses, and I highly recommend, Brut Deodorant. Make sure it doesn't say anti-perspirant/deodorant. You just want deodorant.

Answer 2

The following may be all that you need if the condition is mild, and may help in addition to other treatments in more severe cases.

If you find that soaps irritate the affected skin, use a bland soap substitute such as an emollient (moisturiser) ointment or cream.
If possible, avoid any triggers which can make things worse such as heat or spicy food.
If you have armpit sweating:
Try using 'normal' antiperspirants regularly. (Note: there is a difference between antiperspirants and deodorants. Antiperspirants reduce the release of sweat, deodorants mask any unpleasant smell. However, sweat does not have a smell. It is only sweaty clothes that are not changed that may become smelly.)
Avoid clothes that more easily show up sweat marks. For example, as a rule, white and black coloured clothes are less noticeable when wet than other colours.
Wear loose clothing under the armpits, and preferably not made with man-made fibres such as lycra and nylon.

Medication such as propantheline is sometimes tried to reduce the sweat made by the sweat glands. However, side effects such as dry mouth and blurred vision may occur and medication is often not successful.

Aluminium chloride solution is a common treatment. It is a powerful antiperspirant available on prescription or to buy from pharmacies. It works best for armpit sweating but may still work for hands and feet. It should be put on to affected areas at night and washed off in the morning. Dry the skin with a towel or flannel before applying. Use once daily to begin with. Often the sweating improves within a few weeks. Once sweating has improved it may only need to be applied twice a week or less to keep the sweating under control. Sometimes skin irritation is a side effect. In particular, aluminium chloride should not be applied within an hour of taking a bath or within 12 hours of shaving the affected area as this is more likely to cause skin irritation. If found successful, aluminium chloride can be used long term to keep sweating down.

Iontopheresis is a treatment that may be available at the physiotherapy department if aluminium chloride is not effective. It involves putting the affected area of skin in a liquid. A small electrical current is passed through the liquid. This is not painful or unpleasant but the treatment has some effect on the sweat glands. The treatment needs to be done regularly at first. If effective, a treatment every 1-2 months may then suffice. A dry mouth or blurred vision are possible side effects.

And then there is of course the option of surgery, but I personally think the risks are to high and it does not always work and as has previously been pointed out, the sweating can start in other areas of the body…

Hope you find something that will work for you...
