Sweating excessive amount is called hyperhidrosis. You can try stronger antiperspirants, such as one prescribed by your doctor, with 10%-15% aluminum chloride concentrations.
You can also look into getting botox injections in your armpits which "freeze" the glands, and pretty much stop sweating completely.

Well..You must clean your underarms of all unwanted hairs present there. Then you may use a proper deodrant which you find suitable for your purpose.

Cure For Sweating
Posted: 12-09-05 13:51pm

Yes driclor works great for underarm hyperhydrosis. If the condition effects other areas like the hands and face, etc then you can try a tablet called lofexidine hydorchloride 0.2 mg 2-3 times a day. The person who said shave and then you won't sweat is talking rubbish. This condition is in the genes unfortunetly but the tablet I just mentioned will stop the sweating. There is light at the end of the tunnel! :d

I suffer with hyperhdrosis(sp) and its apain.Im currently awaiting to see a consultant about having botox injections as they are free on the nhs.I cant use driclor or anhydrol forte as they burn,i think its the aluminium im allergic to or something in them,i can never stick to the same deodrant longer than a week as my skin kind of becomes used to it so I start smelling again,i shave everyday under my arms and I shower twice a day,ive actually cut the showering down as I was so paranoid about it as a teen I used to have showers 5 or 6 times a day.I sweated when I was a size 8(uk) so I know its not because ive put on weight and I was also very active and would play basketball 7 times a week or more,plus I went to the gym etc.

Its not nice, I cant wear what I want and will always be in the same colour tops usually black, white or beige,id love to go to the pub in a top thats a nice colour and fashionable.I hate it. And its made me paranoid about smells

I have the same problem with under arm sweat. The drysol burns and itches for me too but I still use it because I hate the wetness more. My mother, grandmother and sister all have the same condition. I will tell you that shaving has abosolutely nothing to do with it.
Good luck!

try DRICLOR!! it really works.. promise.. my armpits used to sweat also.. it really helped me.. try it.. it costs 700+ but if you really have that problem it would really be worth it.. i have one.. i use it every night.. at first you would experience itchiness.. but after a few weeks it's ok.. try it.. promise.. i've been using it for months or more than a year already.. hope it'll also work for you.. =D

That is not true, some people just happen to sweat a lot.

Secret has a new deoderant (Secret Clinical Strength)out
now it cost about 8 dollars and you can get it at wal- mart, or I would guess just about anywhere you shop.
