I believe you can get a special deodorant from the doctor that helps to control sweating - I just can't think of the right name at the moment.

I used to have the exact same problem. About a month ago I ordered an over the counter anti-perspirant for excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis. It's called maxim; i'm not sure exactly how it works so you might want to find out some more info. You just put it on at night before you go to sleep. You still use your normal deoderant everyday but somehow it stops the excessive sweating. It has worked for me and I love it! It kinda tingles for a couple minutes when you first put it on but so far that has been the only funky side effect.

I had a sweating problem too and one of my co-workers recommended degree deaodorant. ( I was already buying the more expensive ones and none of them were working)

i haven't had sweat problems ever since. It took like 3 or 4 days to see the difference. If you have sweat problems and you haven't try it, give it a chance, it's only like $2.99. Sometimes the cheap stuff works as well or even better.

I have the same problem..But will not take meds for it..I use mitchum antiperspirant from revlon..It has a high amount of aluminum as per the drugstore ones also..Which can be a problem down the road..As studies suggest that most alzheimer's patients have high levels of aluminum in their brains..So I stick with the mitchum..Which is high enough..I can't wear any tight fitting shirts either..So I buy them a little bigger especially in the arm areas..Polyester is not very friendly with my warm body either..Try to wear mostly cotton as it breaths...Thanks

My wife perspires completely over her whole body especially under her breasts and becomes quite raw and will not let up. Please find a solution as it is wearing her down. :( losing her self preservation.



She has been to many specialists and many tests including whole body mri. We thought it could be related to the thyroid, but the endocronologist couldn't finf anything. She has had blood tests, cat scans etc.



She doesn't have a proper diet and has given up excercise. She consumes a pretty good amount of water. The sweat that is under her breast, which is very raw. Is almost like a paste. She is med heavy breasted. She will be 80 years on this coming october.



Boy what a history.

You can now get botox injections, which will stop your sweating completely. The botox "freezes" your sweat glands, so no sweat comes out. It is usually only used under the armpits, and in very severe cases of hyperhydrosis.

I have the same problem, but only in my palms (palmar hyperhidrosis), and it is very bad , especially hand shakes, I heard botox work better for arm pits , but for hands I am not sure.


I will give the botox a try anyway

I was prescribed anhydrol forty which you have to be very careful with as it contains aluminium so cant use for two days either side of shaving your pits (if u r a woman????)
i also now use sage supplements which are supposed to help I suffered the embarrassment for years but I think im now in perimenopause which seems to have made a difference altho I think it may be hereditery as my 16 year old daughter has the same problem!!!

I too suffer from hyperhydrosis and excessive underarm odor-for the last 13 years. I have been to numerous dermatologists and tried every creme,roll on,etc. With no luck. The only thing that has helped with the sweating is botox-even that only lasts about 4 months. The odor is really my biggest dilemma-my current dermatologist says it has to be caused by bacteria and gave me a roll on medicine to use but it doesn't help at all. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem, I have been prescribed dricor a roll on deodorant that you apply last thing at night and wash off in the morning it kept me dry but I had an allergy to it, so they tried me with a talc but that made no difference. I am now going in to hospital in a few days to have my sweat glands cut so I hope this will work, dose any one know of anyone that has had this op done and was it a success? :lol:

I just recenty stopped using my anti-perspirant to try a "stop sweating" remedy and noticed that I started to smell really bad within 5 hours of showering. I've never smelled before, even though I sweat alot in the underarms.

The remedy didn't work (using a loofah sponge to scrub my underarms and not wearing antiperspirant but instead only using a natural deodorant), so i've gone back to using mitchum unscented and, again, I don't smell at all no matter how much I perspire.

Hope this helps anyone with odor problems. Try using a strong anti-perspirant instead of deodorant.

I'm going to look into that maxim stuff...Thanks for the idea. :)

I am not a dr and I used to sweat real heavy under the arms and I agree that mitchum is the best that I have used. I have had friends that do not sweat and to me that is worse, I even checked with the dr about it and they agreed.
I have a couple of friends of mine that are heavy breasted aand sweats heavily under her breasts one ecen got an infection one time and had to go to the dr and the dr told her that she must keep them up for a while that because of the moisture and the darkness she developeslike a yeast infection or a fungus and the dr gave her some medicine and she is just very cautious about it.
The best to all of you!

How did you do your name like that?? Thays pretty

I heard that that can be caused from a hormonal imbalance.

Mitchum is great...But it still didnt solve the problem for me. I found "certain dri" at osco. It works just as well as any prescription, and you also put it on at night. In the morning I still use the mitchum ...And I seriously dont sweat at all anymore. The stuff is a miracle!

Hi, I had the operation of cutting the nerves for auxillery, and hand and foot, excessive sweating. The first time, I was dry for six months, but then became began sweating again the same as before the op, The second op I was dry for a mere three weeks.

The op has rid me of palm sweating, in which the doc says is most common, but has not rid me of auxillery sweating. It has also had side effects like, causing compensatory sweating, on the thighs, legs, arms, eyebrows etc. This compensatory sweating is almost as bad as my initial condition, and I also still have auxillery sweating.


So, I am now going to dry the loofah scrub, and maxim, see if it works.

KK


hope I helped


Brendan,


But i also know someone that has had the op and does not sweat anymore.
But i must say it is common for the first six months after the op to sweat when eating certain foods, and when it is hot, it is also common to have compensatory sweating in other parts, but this will become less over time

Bye

I started sweating really bad under my arms after I found out my husband needed a heart transplant and almost died. I just want to know if anyone knows what i could use.

I sweat really bad under my breast. It has gotten so bad that the skin has become very irritated and hurts when I touch it. It's also somewhat raw. Does anyone else have this problem? Please help. The summer time is near and I know I will really sweat then so I need to find a solution very soon. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I get lumps under my arms too. They are the sweat glands. The doc gave me a 20% aluminuim deo but I would strongly advise not to use it. Recent tests have shown that the alu... in deodrents is a cause of up to 60% of breast cancer. Its the biggest cause. The deodrent buissiness makes so much money that a lot of these scientific evidences don't get promoted.
I use malt vinegar under my arms before I go to bed and that has helped. You can get alum... free deo's and they work well.
I know how embaressing it is and I hope you get it sorted soon.
