Hello,

I have a embrassing under arm sweating disorder it is so embrassing it even prevent me from wearing some of my light color clothes. My question is if I was to go to the doctor which doctor will I go see for this disorder and is there any medications that you can actually take for this disorder. It make me feel like a construction worker LOL..... it is so embrassing and I am a female so it is even more embrassing for me and no man doesn't want a woman that sweats like a construction worker LOL.

please respond some one even if you have a similar problem.

Thank you!

I'd suggest that you see your primary physician first. It might be that you need to see an endocrinologist (specialist in hormones) or a dermatologist (specialist in skin). I know that this problem is not as rare as we think it is. It might have something to do with your endocrine glands or sweat glands or the hormones that stimulate the sweat response.

Look for Certain Dri it is an over the counter roll on that you put under your arms and it actually blocks the sweat ducts under your arms. Works like a charm for a friend of mine.
