Answer 1

it is normal. don't worry so much! just wash your armpits in the morning and apply 2 coats of deoderant. that is what i do and i sweat a lot!!


hope it works!!

Answer 2

sweating excessively during pubescence is not uncommon. If deodorant or antiperspirants don't work well, there are other ways to prevent this. See a doctor, dermatologist or what have you and often there are prescription antiperspirants you can get. If this becomes a serious problem there is always the option to have the sweat glands in your armpits paralyzed and thus prevent the excessive sweating. All the same though this could simply be a stage and if it so bothersome, and is effecting your mentality then I'd do something about it, whether through meditation, prescription, diet or other options.

Answer 3

Try using an antiperspirant. Now if it really stinks, get a roll-on that contains both antiperspirant AND deoderant. Always make sure to take a shower regularly and to scrub those armpits real well. You are just going through puberty. If this doesn't work, call a doctor to check if he has any good perscriptions.

Answer 4

Make sure you're using an antiperspirant/deodorant, not just a deodorant. I like Mitchum, it works best for me. Check with your doctor too, it could just be all the hormonal changes your body is going through in the teenage years.

Answer 5

Its normal, sometimes people just sweat a lot. You're gonna have to look around and try different anti-perspirants until you find one that works for you. Regular deodorant doesnt work, you need to find a deodorant/anti-perspirant combination. It'll say on the deodorant whether or not its an anti-perspirant. If you just get deodorant you might smell great but your sweating wont stop.

Answer 6

Since you are 13, it is perfectly normal. Your body is going through lots of changes, and you will probably sweat more. One thing you can do is wear deoderant and wash under your arms frequently. If this problem still bothers you, you might try talking to your doctor or another adult you trust, such as a parent. Hope this helps!

Answer 7

It's okay! First off it probably is hormones.. It happens.
You should buy some secret clinical strength. It works like
a charm!! Good luck!

and you don't have to see a doctor (unless you already tried
everything else)

Answer 8

First of all, everyone sweats. It's completely normal. Maybe wear some deodorant. if you already do, and it doesn't work then wear a stronger deodorant, "Secret Clinical." It works really well. When you start using it, you'll be so happy.

Answer 9

There are a few people that have that problem. Try Degree. If the over-the-counter anti-per/deodorants don't work, then see a doctor. They have some that they can give you a perscription for.

Answer 10

Yes it more normal than u think, Theres tons of girls at school who have sweaty armpits, Go buy some deodrant...its "Secret Clinical Strength" It works very good.
