Answers:
I had this problem several years ago, and found that by taking a Zinc supplement, my issue cleared up. I took 20 mg. twice a day for a couple of weeks, and then dropped down to 20 mg. once a day. It truly was an amazingly simple cure.
I highly reccomend that you buy the Zinc at a health food store, even though it is readily available elsewhere. The Zinc in the Health Food stores is a much higher quality, and hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for several years.
Good luck to you.
If you want to completely eliminate the problem, and as a last resort, see a general surgeon or plastic surgeon for a video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy. The surgeon would remove the gland that is responsible for producing the sweat.
Can't beat the niff of a good sweaty armpit. Very sexy. Seriously, I found that deororants and antiperspirants made me sore and didn't work effectively. Now I do not use either of them but after a shower I smooth on neet Detol or Savlon. This does make me smell slightly antiseptic at first but it does seem to wear off fairly quickly and the sweating condition does seem to improve.
dont think of it too much because you'll sweat more
Hi
I know someone who also sufferslike you. It really effected them so I can understand how you feel.
There are a few things you can do. Botox is a option. They inject into the sweat glands and it stops them producing. This may be a good option for you to look into. Although bear in mind you will need it re doing a few times a year.
Another option although some what major is that they can do surgery to remove sweat glands from your arm pits. As some people just have a lot more than others - this sounds like what you have (although im no doc!) you will be left with a small scar in the arm pit but its a long term solution.
Other than that try deodarants that contain tea tree oil etc as this works really well to illiminate odeors. However in your case I do understand that this probably wont be enough although it may help a bit. Also always carry a spray with you. Wear natural fibres as they dont hold in sweat the same as other fibres do so you smell less with cotton etc.
Good Luck

I used to suffer the same tried all the diff products. but I had lazer hair removal 2 yr ago and I sweat nearly as much as I used to since then, it seems to have killed the pores or something, who know but i love it, i used to get embarresed by wet armpits that smell, and not lift my arms etc. Now i dont. its expensive but well worth the results.
