Question:

Answers:
Well deodorant won't work.it is only a "smell good". What you will need is an anti-perspirant. This actually blocks the sweat glands to keep you from sweating. I would recommend something strong like Sure, or Old Spice Red Zone.I have a bad problem with that too, and they're the ones that work for me. Just make sure you're buying something that says anti-perspirant..not just deoderant. Best of luck to you.

Other Answers:
See your doctor about getting a more powerful, prescription deodorant/anti-perspirant. Don't shave, your under-arm hair is crucial to keeping that area cooler than it would be for skin on skin.

If regular deoderant doesn't work consult a doctor.they will be able to give you perscription anti-presperant

my daughter has the same problem, and I'm not sure what it is called, but ask your doctor about it. It's a cream you rub on your arm pit. (Most insurances do'n't cover the cost either).
Or you can also try Botox injections, but the cream works for her, and it was very bad!

Try DrySol..prescribed by doctors. Once you recieve the prescription, i believe you get 60 cc of use. Its like a deodorant you slide onto your armpits nightly for 3 nights, then wash it off in the morning and do NOT apply a regular deodorant after washing. After about 3 nights of nightly use, you will only need to use it once a week. I used to have outrageous armpit sweat, but after drysol i can workout vigorously and only drop maybe 1 or 2 drops of sweat if even that. Hope this helped, best of luck.

Also if a prescription is unavailable, try http://www.stopsweat.com/ ..Maxim is just as effective.

You may be suffereing from auxillery hyperhydrosis..excessive sweating of the armpits.

I have this problem also! It's so gross and embarrassing.

I've been doing some research lately and here are some things I have found:

1 - you can visit a dermatologist and they can prescribe botox injections. This will minimize overactive sweat glands.
2 - There is a prescription deoderant with aluminum-something-or-other, that you put on the night before and it gets rid of it the next day
3 - there are certain natural remedies like acupuncture.

I've had that problem my whole life then i went to a dermatologist and he prescribed drysol. It has worked wonders for me. maybe it will work for you too!!

Try Maxim! It's a roll-on for excessive sweating. Google it on the internet and you can order it online. It is awesome! I used to sweat through my shirt every day so badly. But I put Maxim on at night, and the next day I didn't sweat AT ALL! It shrinks your sweatglands, and you don't sweat at all the next day! TRY IT!

Don't wash your underarms with soap or use a deodorant. Wash them with baby shampoo, which has less chemicals than soap.
