thank you so much everyone for all of your help. I chose to go to the doctor. I am a little over weight. yes. I am loosing weight tho. But for now, i cant loose it all i one day. so For now i think im going to go to the doctor to get something. My sister is 11 months older then me, and she is shorter then me and weighs alot more. shes alot heavier, and she does not have this sweating problem. I use antipresperent deorderent. and it does not work. so thank you all so much

Yes, you can go and see a doctor. A friend of mine had this issue, he issued her special deoderant that she put on each night as well as gave her a pill to help reduce the sweat. I thought only over weight people had this problem, but she was 5.10 and about 130 lbs.

If this only happens when at school or other social situations and you have no problem when you are lounging around the house or with one or two friends, it may be brought on by anxiety. Also , be sure your deodorant has an anti-perspirant in it. I know that I personally can not use the cheap brands. They just do not work for me. I have found that the Dove products and Secret Platinum Protection work best. Try using the "unscented" as sometimes the perfumes can compromise the active ingredient. Also the gel forms do not work as well for me either. Try changing brands and formulas if that doesnt work ask your DR and see what he says.

Could be something you need to see a doctor about, or it could be hereditary. I sweat only at two times -- day and night -- and I got it from my Mom's side of the family. The one thing I have found that works is Certain Dri. It's a roll-on you apply at bedtime. You can use normal deodorant during the day without altering the effects. Shuts the water works off every time. You can buy Certain Dri at Walgreen's, Rite Aid, and CVS. It's not cheap ($6.00 or so for a small bottle) but it's worth it.

Hey there! My step-sister also had this problem. Including her armpits, hands, feet, head...everywhere. She had to see a dr and they gave her medication for it. I am not excatly sure what it's called but it definetly sounds like you have some over active sweat glands. My advice: see a specialist. Go to your PCP ( primary care physician ) and have him give you a refferal to the type of specialist you need to see. Goodluck!
In the mean time- to make the marks less noticable, choose the color of shirts you wear carefully, and perhaps take a second shirt to school. Carry some babywipes, ANTI-perspirant (get a deoderant that has an antiperspirant in it), go to the restroom as frequently as you can or feel necessary and freshen up.
But def get to a dr. It'll make your life so much easier! Take care and goodluck!

Deoderant isn't meant to prevent sweating, only the odor from it. If you are using an antiperspirant/deoderant and are still having this problem, yes, I'd recommend you ask your doctor. Also, wear shirts made of printed material, makes it less noticeable. Good luck!

I hear you dear, it is not the smell I worry about but as you said it is the marks on the clothes, I tried a lot of things even the harmful one the other posts mentioned, they did work but now I'm scared to use them and back to square one, I would rather see sweat on my clothes than harm myself, so just take care what you wear, I avoid bright colors and I even wear a thin T. shirt under my blouse ti hide it and I even tried pads under my arms, it is not a bad idea!!!!!!!!

I had that problem a few years back!
You might want to see a doctor but you could try using a product called MITCHUM they make it for both men and women it worked for me!
It is really good product I have been stuck on it for yrs ever since highschool now I have been out of high school for 5 years

Please what ever you do do not use any product with aluim (aluminum byproduct). Doctors will suggest it but don't. They are finding that this causes dementia and alzheimers later in life. My husband used it for the same reasons as you and his short term memory is not that great. They have done lots of research and it is very bad and absorbs into the bloodstream. Try a holistic approach first. Go to your trusted Healthfood Store and tell them and they will lead you to help.

Check the deodorant you are using. Some are for body odor - and a few are for sweat...
Also, you may want to dab a little talc, corn starch or baby powder under your arms before you leave - great for absorbing sweat.

Yes you should see a doctor.
You may be having a little bit nervous problem. But nothing to worry it can be rectified very easily.
As regard deodo take it easy. Try to be in cool and relax atmosphere.
