help me im a wierdo!!?

Question

im not a stinky chic but my armpits wont stop sweating no matter what im doing or what deoderant im using, what should i do?

Answer 1

I read about this in a magazine once . Its called (it might be , anyway ) hyperhydrosis - a condition that affects 1% of the population and causes sufferers to sweat at a far higher level than most people. So tell your doctor your symptoms .
Just so you know , if you DO have hyperhydrosis , you will probably have to have treatment including
-botox in your armpits , which blocks the nerves that produce sweat . This lasts a few months.
-The other is iontophoresis , in which you need to put your hands in a plastic bath filled with water . The water has a current running thrugh it , but it doesn't hurt.

Good luck ! :)

I know exactly how you mean! I used to sweat a lot and it smelled so bad. Ok, first of all, I wouldn't recommend you to use Botox injections, because it can be very painful and it can be quite expensive (only do it if you're like a celebrity or something like that). Shave your armpits first with using a good-smelling scented shaving gel because hair can cause sweat to be trapped in your pit, and that makes the odor. Secondly, if you take showers in the morning, then shave and then when you dry off, immediately put on an anti-perspirant. Avoid going to hot humid places and keep it cool in the room. Don't wear tight-fitting clothes and opt for the loose, cool material. Move your arms often because if you just keep them by your side then the heat and odor will build up. Put some perfume or body spray on your throat and behind your ears so that when someone comes near you, hopefully that'll cover the smell. And if what I just said doesn't help, then you might wanna see a doctor--it's probably a serious skin condition. Good luck!

I have the same problem as well...there is no deoderant that stops this out there EXCEPT Certain Dry. It is sold in a box in the deoderant section. It really works. You need to apply it at night, and let it DRY thoroughly. If the deoderant touches fabric it will bleach it out. I usually just wear a beater at night until it drys. Definately try it..i thought nothing would work, and am so thrilled to have found this product..I can wear color again!!! (if you have this prob you know what i am talking about!) haha

Answer 4

I understand hun, I am the same way! I checked with my doc, same as you should, and she told me it was normal for some women to be that way, but in some it could be a problem. If your doctor says the same, then try what I did.

Buy a good solid antiperspirant and be sure to apply to DRY armpits! If that still don't work (does daily for me but not when I work out) get a gel antiperspirant and some baby powder. Put on a small amount of the gel, then while it is still wet, dust with baby powder and pat to set.

For a girl, I sweat buckets when I exercise, and this trick can handle even the best of all cardio work outs!

Answer 5

I've never suffered from that problem, but what I do is every morning after I take a bath I sprinkle Johnson's baby powder under my arms after I put on my usual Degree for women. Don't worry, be confident. Carry some feminine wipes and your favorite travel size deodorant just in case! Also try not to wear heavy sweaters. During the winter, wear turtlenecks and a vest instead of a heavy coat (only on mildly cold days!!) If the problem persists I would humbly advise you to consult a physician!

Answer 6

Its a condition. They have a lot of options for it. You can try using the OTC antipersperant - CertainDri. It works pretty well, but only if you use it right and even sometimes it still isn't enough. You can also see a dermatologist about this. They can prescribe you an antipersperant or even discuss the option of botox injections. Botox is a new method that has been used to stop underarm sweat.

Answer 7

This is actually fairly common, especially in those who are going through puberty...

As someone else mentioned, there is an inexpensive over the counter product called Certain Dry which you apply before bed, and it works VERY well. My friend had the same problem, and she uses this...She also applies a regular deodorant in the morning for extra protection and she is always dry.

If that doesn't work, see your doctor...They have several different perscription deodorants that can help, and you can even get Botox injected under your arms...All the celebrities do it so they don't stain their Red Carpet gowns!

Hope this helps, good luck!

Answer 8

Wear Black no one will notice.You are so not a weirdo !! OK I have a couple questions for you first. Do you sweat any wear else (hands,feet,chest)on your body? If so you might have what is called Hyperdious which is excessive sweating over active sweat glands. You can actual have microscopic surgery for this problem. If it's just under arm ask your doctor for Drysole you apply at night. I have found that Secret unscented works the best for me and I've tried them all . Good luck.

Answer 9

If you keep sweating, it could be the type of material you are wearing. Make sure that you wear shirts which are 100% cotton. Plus, you should drink a lot of water instead of sweet soda's. I heard that this should work, it's not out of experience though, so I can't be sure that it works, but it's worth a try right? Biologically, if you make sure you are fit, you have more heat control in your body which makes less blood go to your skin and this allows you to sweat less.

Answer 10

There is a product called certain-dri you use at night, combine that with the old fashoned deoderant in the jar (I forget the brand) and it works wonders. This was recommended by a doctor and lots of people I know have had success with it.
