Under arm presperation. What to do when there is too much of it and nothing seems to help??!!?

Question

Ive tried mens deoderant, the spray kind, even extra strength and all that good stuff, but at the end of the day my shirts are still wet in the armpitts, I know its not very attractive so i'm willing to try anything!!

Answer 1

There's this stuff called CertainDri. You can find it at places like wal-mart. You are supposed to put it on at night before you go to bed. It's supposed to actually shrink your pores or something. It worked for me, but i stopped using it because it itched something fierce. I've heard that it works just fine for some though.

Answer 2

If you really have run through the gammet in terms of trying everything, you probably need to see a doctor. My younger sister had this same problem and was always wearing sweatshirts over her shirts to cover that area. Her doctor diagnosed her as having hyperhidrosis, which is where your body sweats excessively, and sometimes just in certain areas.

I used to have a problem with controlling perspiration too until I made it a habit to shave everyday. Deoderants work best being applied as close to the skin as possible. I think this is why guys sometimes have a harder time controlling odor there than we do. Degree deoderant works really good too if you haven't tried it yet. Good luck!

Answer 3

ok i have the same exact prob especially in the summer time it becomes out of control i tried evrything also even some deoderant my moms friend bought from poland that is supposed to be the best for that still didnt work for me you know this summer i know this may sound really extreme but its actually a condition called hyperhidrosis and they have all these products but the thing is to find one that actually works some actually even go and have the tissue removed under their arm pit to stop it i listed some websites but just google hyperhidrosis you will see everything they have =) hope this helps good luck

Answer 4

If you have the money, some dermatologist and plastic surgeons will do Botox inject for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It is consider a cosmetic procedure since it is not life threatening. They might have of the treatment options for you too.

Answer 5

Dr's can prescribe a deodorant that is very helpful. It does not have the fun smells, but it helped my sister who always got wet in the underarm area no matter how warm or cold it was.

Answer 6

Use underarm shields. They are cotton and look like breast shields (for nursing moms). They operate the same way too. They soak up all of the sweat on the underarm side and the sweat never makes it to your shirt.

Answer 7

i have this problem every morning after i work out, when my body is still in exercise mode and i'm warmed up, to keep from sweeating like a pig, i drop my body temperture by drinking ice cold water. i usually leave a bottle in the freege the night before with ice cubes in it,

after i down it i usually start to cool down and sweat less (now if it;s stress related... i don't know if this will work too.. it might.)

hope this helped

Answer 8

go get some certain-dri. it contains an ingrediant that actually closes off the sweat glands. you put it on before bed- it does nothing for odor and itches like crazy the first few applications. i have used it with really good results. it's a little over 5 bucks at most drug stores.

Answer 9

OMG! this SAME thing happens to me! thats why i dont wear shirts that are tight in the arm pit area..i use Secret with Olay..but it doesnt really work for me personally.

if you get a really good answer could you e-mail me?
srry i didnt really give you an answer lol

Answer 10

do what male athletes do -- use a strong stick deodorant, like mitchum or arm and hammer. make sure it is the white stick, it will smear on and coat the skin. sprays, roll-ons and gels are weak - sticks are 5x more effective. hopefully this will work for you. if not, see a doctor for advanced treatment options.
