How can i stop sweating?

Question

Because it so gross, and it shows though my shirts and it is embrassing? So is there a way of stop sweating or even stoping it to not on through my shirt so I don't have wet spots under my armpits!

Answer 1

I also have been dealing with this condition for awhile now. The medical term for it is hyperhidrosis.

I've found that Certain Dri (available at Rite Aid for $5.99) works wonders for me! Certain Dri is an anti-perspirant ONLY. You have to apply before you go to bed. Though you might think its a little pricey for just a small bottle, trust me it is worth it :) I only have to apply it 2-3 times per week, so the bottle I have right now has lasted me since last May. I highly recommend you give it a try!

PS- As for anti-perspirant with deodorant, I love Secret Platinum clear gel. I apply just a tiny amount before getting dressed in the morning. This also helps, plus it smells great, even at the end of the day.

Good luck!

Extreme sweating in the armpits (aka axillary hyperhidrosis) can be treated easily by a dermatologist. There are new and effective treatments out there, so you totally don't need to deal with this all by yourself--and for much longer.

Go to the International Hyperhidrosis Society's web site wwwSweatHelp.org, click on TEEN SWEAT section and learn all about it (which, by the way affects 176 million people world wide, and is thought to be genetic), and the treatment choices you have. You can also find a doc there that is familiar with HH and can treat you right.

If you subscribe to their newsletter you'll know when there are new developments, and/or how to get free stuff too.

To treat underarm HH you basically have these options:
1.) Strong anti-perspirants (APs) like Secret Clinical Strength (used RIGHT makes all the difference: Apply before you go to bed (since you don't sweat as much when you sleep, this allows the AP to form a plug in your sweat duct while you sleep instead of your sweat washing the AP away before it has a chance to plug); Apply to a totally DRY underarm (this reduces skin irritation significantly). You can apply again in the morning if you want an extra boost.

2.) Botox: It's amazing. Lasts for at least 6 months (usually lots longer) and insurance often pays. And it doesn't really hurt.

3.) Combination of the above for the best (and most cost effective) plan for you.

And last, don't EVER consider ETS surgery because of the horrible risks associated with it like compensatory sweating (massive sweating on large parts of your body) plus other serious complications that are way too common for my comfort level, and worse than HH. And don't believe the hype that it's reversible. There have been no reported, published cases of surgeries reversals being successful. So basically if you get bad results, there's no turning back.

Remember, there are no cures--YET. But there are good options to manage the sweatiness.

I hope this was helpful,Good Luck!!! :)

So, you have the problem where you sweat and it shows through your shirts.

Never fear, there is a wonderful solution! First off, make sure that you take daily showers. This helps, especially if you use soap and water. Yes, I am dead serious, this helps. Then, try using anti-perspirant and then deodorant.

The anti-perspirant gets rid of the sweat by drying it up, and the deodorant eliminates the smell. Poof, the sweat ought to be gone and you ought to smell of lovely roses.

However, if none of this helps the sweating, than you may end up having to go to a dermatologist or a doctor. Oh, and a helpful hint, do not go to the emergency room. Those doctors are overworked, tired, and they will charge you a lot for talking to them about a sweating problem. Make an appointment with a family doctor if you can, but if not, make an appointment, and until then, keep trying the anti-perspirant.

Hyperhidrosis can be caused by FOOD ALLERGIES, or a mineral/vitamin deficiency. I had it for a long time before learning this.

Check out this article about hyperhidrosis, grains, and sugars. Scroll about halfway down the page.
http://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/14/excessive_sweating.htm

I had hyperhidrosis and other symptoms for many years and went through all the usual treatments including prescription drugs, antiperspirants, botox, ETS surgery. The surgery was most helpful but several years later hyperhidrosis began to return.

Years later I was diagnosed with a few food allergies. I eliminated wheat, dairy, and sugar from my diet. I stopped all prescriptions and began taking supplements for B vitamins and magnesium.

Answer 5

yes you can stop the sweating under your arms by applying certain dri after you take a shower before bed. it works by reducing the size of your pores. It does burn and is itchy but well worth it. You can also try Secret Clinical Strength. You apply it the same way as Certain dri and it smells really fresh and clean. Use your fav, reg deo in the morning. Good luck!

Answer 6

cheaper than botox and less painful than surgery....buy an antiperspirant called CertainDry. costs about 8 bucks and lasts a month or so if used sparingly. you can get it at any drug store. it says it closes the pores in your armpits( yes this is safe!) which reduces sweating. i used to have extreme problems with underarm sweating but now, if i use certaindry every other day in addition to my normal deodorant, i do not sweat at all. use certain dry before bedtime and then use your regular deodorant during the day. it works

Answer 7

Get Physically fit or stay indoors like I do :) I am both I hate the freaking heat but I still sweat so I stay inside when I am outside I'm like a demon child cause I hate the heat i ***** and moan till i am indoors . Just stay indoors never sweat :D

Answer 8

There's this spot on the back of your neck, like a heat sensor because it controls the temperature of your body, so it controls sweating and if you put an ice cube on it you'll feel cold and stop sweating. I suggest you try it, cuz I did and it worked for me. Good Luck!
