Are there any over-the-counter ways to treat over active sweat glands?

Question

In the underarm area.

Answer 1

I have had problems finding a deodorant that works for me. I have tried many many different kinds. THE ABSOLUTE BEST is "Certain Dri." I buy if from K-Mart. You should really try it. I promise it works for me. I mean it actually works so good I can forget a day and honestly not sweat at all. However there is one down side. Your armpits itch like crazy sometimes. This is caused by the mixture of anti-perspirants used; they actually close your glands to prevent perspiration. Try this product it really works:

Answer 2

Sweetie, if you sweat you are good. If you don't sweat you are in trouble. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it contains the ability to excrete waste and cool the body down...this means your body is working very well to remove toxins from the organs. This is a good thing. When you don't sweat you hold these toxins inside and this is dangerous. So, be thankful. You may need to use an antiperspirant deodorant. They are not the same. The antiperspirant slows down the sweating process, the deodorant helps with the odor of the sweat. So, buy one that contains both and it will work best. When you exercise or are in warm places you probably sweat a lot and find this troublesom, right. Well, carry this product with you and put it on when you visit the bathroom. Then shower often to remove the sweat and use powder to help absorb it in warm weather. You are ok, just have to pay more attention than maybe some of us. I sweat very little and in summer I burn up. It is also a cooling system for the body during hot weather. The moisture allows the air to cool the body down fast, so you are lucky in that respect also. Just carry what you need to deal with those times that you aren't at home and be thankful to know your body is working well and you are healthy. Ok.

Answer 3

You might want to go to a Podiatrist. Sometimes the odor comes from an infection. It is easy to treat and no more smelly feet. Feet sweat... Try stuffing your shoes with newspaper at night. The moisture will be absorbed along with the odors of the day. Also, make certain you keep your feet clean. Dirty feet = smelly feet.
