Sweating Problems...?

Ok im 14 years old and i have a problem with sweat marks. I know everyone at this age is going through puburty and all this crap, but like mine is really bad. I wear deodorant, obviously and i have tried different brands and kinds of deodorants, but i cant seem to get rid of the wet marks. Its pretty bad too. Like when i pick out my clothes, i have to plan it around having a jacket that matches, becuase throughout the day when i sweat i end up wearing a jacket, just to cover up the wet marks, and sometimes they are really bad, to where i cant raise my hand in class, cause of the marks under my pits. What should I do.....its getting to the point where everything is revolved around my sweating issues..? Any ideas or suggestions??:(

Sweating Problems...?
Hi there--





First of all, you need to know that deodorants just make sweat smell pretty, and Anti-perspirants reduce the amount of sweat. So, ditch the deodorants, and always get APs.





OK, now for sweat 101: Extreme sweating in the armpits (aka axillary hyperhidrosis) can be treated easily by a dermatologist. There are new and effective treatments out there, so you totally don't need to deal with this all by yourself--and for much longer.





Go to the International Hyperhidrosis Society's web site wwwSweatHelp.org, click on TEEN SWEAT and learn all about the condition (which, by the way affects 176 million people world wide, and is thought to be genetic), and the treatment choices you have. You can also find a doc there that is familiar with HH!





If you subscribe to their newsletter you'll know when there are new developments, and/or how to get free stuff too.





To treat underarm HH you basically have these options:


1.) Strong anti-perspirants (APs) like Secret Clinical Strength (used RIGHT makes all the difference: Apply before you go to bed (since you don't sweat as much when you sleep, this allows the AP to form a plug in your sweat duct while you sleep instead of your sweat washing the AP away before it has a chance to plug); Apply to a totally DRY underarm (this reduces skin irritation significantly). You can apply again in the morning if you want an extra boost.





2.) Botox: It's amazing. Lasts for at least 6 months (usually lots longer) and insurance often pays. And it doesn't really hurt.





3.) Combination of the above for the best (and most cost effective) plan for you.





Don't EVER consider surgery because of the crazy risks associated with it like "compensatory sweating" (massive sweating on large parts of your body) plus other serious complications that are way too common for my comfort level, and worse than HH. And don't believe the hype that it's reversible. There have been no reported, published cases of surgeries reversals being successful.





If you contact support@SweatHelp.org and ask for their Teen Sweat book, they will send it to you free. It has great info, tips and how-tos to make excessive sweat a thing of the past. Remember, there are no cures--YET. But there are good options to manage the sweatiness. Good luck fellow sweater! Now go get that book!
Reply:Why are you sweating throughout the day? Are you working out all the time or something? Anyway, maybe you could put tissues or something under your arms. I'm really not sure what you can do, but good luck finding a solution.
Reply:i saw on tv that they took pads and stuck them on the inside of their shirt, but if you dont want to try that, then i used this stuff last year called certain-dri, it works VERY well. i had the same problem last year, and this stuff was great! =]
Reply:deodorants are great for smell but anti perspirant is to help control the wetness
