i use antiperspirant/deodorant but it doesnt work . i sweat a lot in school or when i go somewhere but when im in my house , i dont sweat a lot unless i exercise or play . its really embarrasing cause then the underarm part of my shirt will be all wet and everyone can see. please dont tell me to go see a doctor or get butox(is that the right spelling ?). i have heard about the antiperspirant Certain Dri that works well but i saw it at a store and i think its expensive , i forgot the price though . any suggestions on what to do like home remedies for my armpit or products to use that arent that much expensive .

You may have what is called Hyperhidrosis. This is a condition involving excessive sweating of the hands, face, underarms, and feet. Hyperhidrosis is very common, occurring up to 1% of the population. The control is by the sympathetic nervous system. In the case of Hyperhidrosis, the sympathetic nerves are unpredictable and completely uncontrollable.
In most cases, medical treatment only alleviates symptoms generated by mild forms of hyperhidrosis. Some of the treatments include, astringents, talc/starch, sedatives, antihistamines, anticholinergics and beta blockers. More aggressive therapies include: liposuction, botulinum toxin and iontophoresis. They all have been applied ranging degrees of success. However affected patients with severe forms of hyperhidrosis require to Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy cure their symptoms.

you could have overactive sweat glands there my sister has the same problem as you and she gets botox injections which helped it majorly. Honestly there are many deodorants out there that will help disguise the problem instead of stopping it.. yes you dont want people to tell you to go see your doctor but you know what in actuality we dont know you like for example you saying you dont sweat a lot well the word a lot varies from person to person on how much that actually is.. If it were me I would try everything if still nothing go to the doctor.

Scrub really well and try Certain dry deodorant. works really well so well you only use it once a day, at night. also try using backing soda under your arms. what you do is make a paste with water and baking soda, then spread in under the pit. Let it sit for about 10-15 mins or longer if you can take it. Be careful not to burn your tender under arm.

Do you drink a lot of water before you go outside? If not, this could be a health issue you may wish to discuss with your doctor. I'm not positively sure, but it may just be that the sun is making you burn fat calories and whatnot. I wouldn't worry too much, but if you feel it's a serious issue, then just follow my advice.

Are you sure you tried ALL of them? I use to have the same problem. Now I use Degree Ultraclear. It's the one with the black dress on it. It's "Little Black Dress Approved." It really works for me. It's new, so I'm not sure if you tried it or not.
If you have tried it then, try using men's antiperspirant like Axe and Old Spice. Since, you sweat like a man, you might as well use men antiperspirant.

baby powder works but you have to apply it often. cleansing alcohol works. just put it on a piece of cotton and then rub it on your underarm. there's also this deodorant made from arm and hammer and since products from this company helps reduce sweat try it. it's at drugstores like target or walgreens and it doesn't cost a lot.

If you wear a white shirt, you can't see the wet spot. I'm a guy and I sweat a lot but I guess it's not as bad for guys. I guess you could wear some undershirt to absorb some of it.

I had the same prob! I switched my deoderant a million times before i found one that was strong enough to keep me dry, and smelling fresh! I now use men's deoderant. The brand is AXE. The scent is "kilo" and it works soooo well! Give it a shot.
