Armpit problem?

Question

This is embarassing but, I sweat under my armpits even when it's winter or the air conditioner is on. I'm currently using Secret Platinum with gel with 19% aluminum. I used to use Degree and it helped somewhat but I still sweat. Can someone please tell me how to "fix" this without having to do Botox?

Answer 1

Do you rub on something alot?

Answer 2

Use arm and hammer deoderant, baking soda itself is good for alot of things this being one but arm and hammer came out with a deoderant which is even better. I used to have this same problem. Also a little tip when you find that the deoderant you've been using is no longer working that just means switch brands until this begins again then switch back, I personally keep at least one thing of Secret, one Arm and Hammer, and one gel type (Secret) just in case I find that today one didn't work tomorrow I use a different one.
No need to be embarrased we are only human
Good Luck

Answer 3

Excessive sweating can challenge your confidence. Question, are you using deodorant or anti- perspirant? These two are different. Deodorant just kill the sometimes unpleasant smell of sweat. Anti-perspirant decreases the production of sweat. The next time you are looking for deodorant read and find out which is best for you. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Try shaving the armpit hair. Or get laser hair removal. That sometimes helps. If it's excessive, you just might have to do the botox thing.

Answer 5

YES>>> I DO! Go to walgreens and get "Certain Dry" It works! I promise. Its not a deoderant. You put it on at night and it drys up your sweat glands in your pits. I use to sweat all the time, I saw the commercial, I went and got it and it works PERFECT. My husband is italian and he uses it too to stop from sweating because he sweats alot too. It works GREAT!

Answer 6

try Dove the one that dont leave white marks on clothes and make sure is a bar not gel , that is not helping either. Use 100%cotton clothes , it helped me a lot. But Dove is really good get the unscented one and be generous applying it

Answer 7

try a rock crystal. you can buy it in a spray at most health food stores. I think you can get it scented or not. the spray works best. if that doesn't work so well, try using it with other deoderants. try to stay away from anti-perserant. the aluminum, it's bad for you.

Answer 8

best solution ever: certain dri antiperspirent. its sold in drug stores, target, walmart, anywhere! it contains aluminum chloride, which "blocks" the pores under your arms and causes you to completely stop sweating there. its safe, because your body simply redirects where it sweats and its usually a lot less embarassing. believe me, its a miracle worker

Answer 9

I used to have this problem. My dermatologist reccomended that I try Certain Dri. You can buy it at any pharmacy. Its' pretty strong stuff.
If that doesn't work then you may need to go to botox route.

Answer 10

Are you on any type of SSRI like Prozac or Paxil? It can be a big side effect, and there really isn't anything you can do except try a different drug.

Answer 11

I had a friend that had the same problem, try using a deodrant that doesnt have aluminum in it.(it work for her)
