how to prevent perspiration at the underarms?

Question

PerspireX, an anti-perspirant which i used to use, doesnt seem to help. whenever i perspire, the perspiration from my underarms will wet my shirt and its embarassing!!! arghhhhh help! is there any way other than surgery to remove the sweat glands?

Answer 1

Go to a dermatologist there's a perscription deoderant for that. You can also get botox shots in your arm pits to stop sweating there for months...

Answer 2

You can try applying a little baking soda to the underarm area and this works best when the armpit area has been shaved and free of hair.
You can mix the baking soda with water to form a thick paste which can be applied to the armpit area. This can be left in situ for around 10 to 15 minutes and then simply wash away.
This method works well as the baking soda actively absorbs sweat and dries out the area; both of which contribute to and can help reducing body odour.

Morever, I will introduce some naturally ways for you, it's very easy to follow and really effective, My brother had the same problem like you and he got success especially, You don’t pay any fee. You can learn at: http://adola.net/go/sweatmiracle/

Secret is the worst one to use! it is very odor revealing and definitely does not keep you dry. i suggest a MENS deodorant/anti perspirant that smells decent or with no scent because they work a lot better. that is my tip. maybe a doctors prescription will take a effect. you may have that thing when you sweat heavily but you can get special stuff from a doctor and they can figure it out. i hope i helped! those are the two best options i could think of.

I have two suggestions.
1) you might have a medical problem that needs a Doctor.
2) This is what happened to me.
I am now 53, I am a woman,
about the time I was 25-30, my deodorant stopped working! Smell and all! I thought about the causes for that and came up with the reasoning that too much antibacterial stuff was killing all the good bacteria in my body that took care of stuff like smell!

I bit the bullet. First I stopped using anti bacterial soaps.
I washed with my shampoo, and later soap like Dove or Nivea.
Then I changed from strong deodorant like Mitchem, to Dove Swauve, Toms of Maine when possible.
I slowly changed the family's eating habits from anti-biotic filled beef and pork and chicken, to Organic eggs, chicken and buffalo.
Plus serious amounts of wild caught fish.
All of this causes the natural GOOD bacteria in and on my body to grow back, I stink less inside and out.

Answer 5

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.

You can now get prescription strength anti-perspirant are available over the counter. Gillette Clinical Strength is one of them.

You should talk to you doctor about this problem because you may a chemical imbalance, thryoid condition, or other medical condition.

Here is a detailed list of treatments available to you.

Treatments may include:

Antiperspirants. Excessive sweating may be controlled with strong anti-perspirants, which plug the sweat ducts. Products containing 10% to 15% aluminum chloride hexahydrate are the first line of treatment for underarm sweating. Some patients may be be prescribed a product containing a higher dose of aluminum chloride, which is applied nightly onto the affected areas. Antiperspirants can cause skin irritation, and strong doses of aluminum chloride can damage clothing. Note: Deodorants do not prevent sweating, but are helpful in reducing body odor.

Medication. Anticholinergics drugs, such as glycopyrrolate (Robinul, Robinul-Forte), help to prevent the stimulation of sweat glands. Although effective for some patients, these drugs have not been studied as well as other treatments. Side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and problems with urination. Beta-blockers or benzodiazepines may help reduce stress-related sweating.

Iontophoresis. This FDA-approved procedure uses electricity to temporarily turn off the sweat gland. It is most effective for sweating of the hands and feet. The hands or feet are placed into water, and then a gentle current of electricity is passed through it. The electricity is gradually increased until the patient feels a light tingling sensation. The therapy lasts about 10-20 minutes and requires several sessions. Side effects include skin cracking and blisters, although rare.

Botox. Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) was approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of severe underarm sweating, a condition called primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Small doses of purified botulinum toxin injected into the underarm temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweating. Side effects include injection-site pain and flu-like symptoms. If you are considering Botox for other areas of excessive sweating talk to your doctor in detail. Botox used for sweating of the palms can cause mild, but temporary weakness and intense pain.

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). In severe cases, a minimally-invasive surgical procedure called sympathectomy may be recommended. The procedure is usually performed on patients with excessively sweaty palms. It is not as effective on those with excessive armpit sweating. This surgery turns off the signal which tells the body to sweat excessively. ETS surgery is done while the patient is asleep under general anesthesia. The doctor makes two or three tiny cuts under the arm. The patient's lung is collapsed so the surgeon has more room to work. A tiny camera, called an endoscope, is inserted to guide the surgeon to the appropriate nerve. After the nerve associated with the overactive gland is identified, it is removed or destroyed. The lung is restored to normal, and the wound closed with stitches. The identical procedure is done on the other side of the body. The surgery takes about a half hour. Patients usually go home the next day, but may experience pain for about a week. ETS requires special training. Before having this surgery, make sure your doctor is properly trained. Risks include artery damage, nerve damage, and increased sweating. New sweating occurs in about 50% of patients.


I hope this helps.

Answer 6

People sweat and if you didn't you would become very ill.
Try Mitchum,it's one of the strongest,works for the over
sweaters.Do not try a surgery,this is no LOL matter,
you can actually die if you don't sweat.This is how your body cools down and keeps a balance in temperature.
Wear a under shirt,then the stains are so noticeable.

Answer 7

anti-perspirant is to stop the sweat from flowing, if the one u use doesn't work try a diff one.

deoderant only stops odor, unless it is also an anti-perspirant.

some work better than others, and some depend on your body. I use

Answer 8

tell michael not to get mad he has a period and found out his D1ck is really an over grown clit - to me if surgery was affordable this would be one thing worth paying for - it has nothing to do with looks - and i feel for you - i dont have it real bad buti work in the street department and it trips me out because during the summer i sweat so bad on my chest area and if it gets hot enough i will sweat around my breast area - i work around 98 percent guys so its kind of embarrassing -

only thing i can suggest is baby powder or gold bond powder because its stronger and last longer - they also have a crystal anti perspirant ( might be what u use ) that helps - they sell it at gnc and health stores -

Answer 9

Do you put on deoderant only in the morning? If so, I suggest you carry an extra thing of PerspireX along with you. Step into the bathroom every couple hours and throw a little on.

Answer 10

Secret Clinical its like 10$ though
