Hi,
i'm having a problem with excessive sweating. Nomatter what I try it just wont go away. My feet,hands,underarms,my whole body is in a constant sweat. Its very embarrasing!! I cant wear shirts with sleeves because the sweat shows through, even if I apply deordorant. And after awhile it starts to smell. I read somewhere that this could be caused by hypertension. Please help!!! What can I do?????

There is a deoderant called "certain dri" you can find it at the pharmacy..It used to only be available by prescription, but you can get it over the counter now. It works very very well and its not too expensive...Less than 10 bucks. Give it a try!

Look up hyperhidrosis, I have it, its excessive sweating, you can have it all over, or just on your face, hands feet or underarms, there are meds, procedures and surgeries to cure or help it
