Answer 1

A prescription product by the name of DRYSOL will end your sweating problem.

Answer 2

Your best option is to try all the different types of deodorant out there, for example; sprays, roll on's etc
People can advise you on what to try but it doesn't mean that it will work so just go through a selection of the best brands and different types of deodorant out there and you should find something to suit you.

You should buy an anti-perspirant rather than a normal deodorant because deodorant is for smells but anti-persprirant is for sweating and smells.

Also look at other factors, are you over weight, stressed??
This could be a problem which you need to take to your doctor. Also wash twice a day,especially in the mornings so that you are fresh for the school day.
When your doing sports wear sports clothes and when you get home take off your school uniform this will prevent your clothes from smelling bad, the less you wear it the fresher it will be.

Answer 3

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, could be caused by all sorts of physical/ mental states of play... In your case, I would guess that it might be directly connected with the pressures of school environment, which causes even me to feel anxious/ nervous just by remembering it!...
Have you ever tried essential oils? Cypress, lavender and patchouli all have a natural deodorising action, plus - in a case of the latter two, there's also a benefit of them acting as a major anti-stress agents, so you get a nicely deodorised bits - AND a cool, relaxed emotional state all thrown in together.
You can but essential oils in your local health-food shop, or try 'Holland and Barrett'. They are not that cheap (10 ml bottle will cost from £3 upwards, but perhaps you could still put them on your Christmas wish-list?...), but you only need about 4-5 drops of each - you can use a single oil, or combine them - in a bath to feel the benefits (and 15-20 minutes of soaking!).
If you don't have a bath, DILUTE a few drops of (each, or single) oil in a tablespoon of any cooking oil you might find in a kitchen cupboard, then rub it into a freshly showered, still damp skin.
After it's all nicely soaked in, try applying a natural crystal deodorant (wet it first) into critical areas - again, you'll find these in health food shops, but I think even Boots are selling them these days. They cost a little bit more then your average deodorant, but will last for ages (about a year, depending on size) - and they are Aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium, paraben, talc (yes - talc!), triclosan, Propylene glycol....... and other carcinogens-free.
I know this is not the simplest of solutions, but the fact is that simple solutions unfortunately very rarely work.
Good luck.

Answer 4

I've gotta second the idea of using Certi-Dry. My ex has problems with excessive sweating, and he swore that this was the only thing that stopped it. I've linked to the item in Drugstore.com; sometimes Certain-Dri is tough to find, so ask if the pharmacy keeps it behind the counter if you don't see it readily available.

If you're also sweating in other areas, talc would be good, but a visit to the dermatologist to talk about some of the other, prescription-strength, solutions might be a good idea.

Best of luck!

Answer 5

My brother has the same problem.
Then he used Certain Dri. It's roll on deoderent. You put it on after you shower before you go to bed. Then in the morning you put on your deoterent that you normally use. Also, there is Arrid Dri cream that does the exact same thing as Certain Dri. You can find both at Rite Aid or Walmart very cheap. Perferably Rite Aid. Don't forget to change the deoterent you use every month. If you don't your under arms will get use to the deoterent and start working against you! Good Luck.

Answer 6

Dryclor or any other type of treatment from the chemist work really well. usually found beside the deodorants. Just apply to dry pits before bed and wash off in the morning. generally a couple of applications a week is enough to sort the problem but follow the instructions to suit you best. for the women out there i'd follow the 'don't shave advice' as it can be really itchy afterwards!!

Answer 7

Look for a gold bond type of talc, that absorbs sweat great. DONT get the medicated smelling ones, so sniff before you buy. You need to take yr blazer off one in a while so yr body can ventilate itself.

Answer 8

Mitchum is a brill roll on deod. Stops everything getting out. Get it from Savers if you have one near you it's cheaper. You can see the doc and he'll do a test. I had excessive sweating and had to pee in a big bottle for 3 days and he sent it off for tests! I have an under-active thyroid gland and sweat a lot. merry crimble :)

Answer 9

It may just be your age so this might possibly be a phase otherwise try a deodrant called DRYCLOR. You can get it from the chemist you put it on at night just before bed and it blocks the sweat ducts. It really works good luck xx

Answer 10

dove and nivea deodorants are good! and the most of the smell is caused by the bacteria. the bacteria grow in your stale sweat which is formed when you havent had a shower in the past day. even leaning over the sink and washing your underarms with soap and water and then putting on your deodorant can help!! x

Answer 11

first make sure u take a bath everyday...at ur age hormones do funny things... like sweating in ur case and never feeling cold in my brothers case... u should see a doctor first to make sure there is nothing serious...if every thing is ok... go for "fa" or "Rexona" deodorants... go for the ones with strong smell... keep it in ur locker and apply it every 3-4 hours...u can also try to buy a good perfume with a smell that lasts for 24 hours ( not the cheap type) and it can cover the smell of sweat ( with the deodorant)
