Sweating really bad in the armpits. . . .?

Hey everyone. I'm 22 years old, and I'm suffering from a perspiration problem, which is really embarrassing in public, and ruins alot of my shirts. I sweat alot under my armpits and I'm very self conscious about it, to the point when I go out I try my hardest not to lift my arms up to expose the wet spots on my shirt.





I can be sitting in a room with a perfectly comfortable temperature, and then look at my shirt to find out that I'm sweating like a pig. It happens the most when I'm nervous. I'm in shape, so weight isn't the problem.





This only happens on my armpits, and I'm wondering if there is anything a doctor could prescribe to me that would fix the problem. I've tried all kinds of deoderants and not one has worked, even a little bit.





One weird tidbit, is about 6 years ago I was taking Prozac, and when I was I wasn't sweating hardly at all. I stopped taking Prozac because I felt I had no need for it, and when I did it started back up.

I am the EXACT same.


I'm 14 though, so it's probably just my age.


I'll have a shirt on for maybe 10 minutes and there will already be a HUGE sweat stain.





I use Perspirex, and it works REALLY well ... it doesn't COMPLETELY take care of it, but I'd say 70% or so.





It's $20. for a bottle, and lasts about 2 months ... get it at your local drug store. (I'm in Canada though, use Certain-Dri if you're American.)





or, as a last resort, you can get Botox, which will completely shut down your sweat glands.


Although, it costs about $500-$600 when all is said and done, and lasts for about 12 months ...





hope I helped ...

Reply:there's something called deodorant and just use that Prozac thing again if it worked
Reply:I believe that your doctor can prescribe you some extra-strength antiperspirant. I would talk to him about your concern.

Reply:When you're at the deodorant aisle look on the top shelf (or perhaps a lower shelf) and find a different product. I cannot remember the name right now but you apply the liquid at night and it should help a lot. The product has a higher level of the stop sweating ingredient.
Reply:whenever you feel you start sweating, take deep breaths and walk (calmly, dont rush) go to a toilet, close the cubicle door and spray some deodrant or roll some under your arms. Wear a good deodrant every day and drink plenty of water. Make sure you let your armpits breathe, (wear vests instead of shirts), wear cotton and if things really get bad, shave the hair off.. nobody will know
Reply:Perhaps a table spoon of high strength liquid chlorophyll every day might help as it is an internal deodorant that deodorises your perspiration before it comes out of your pores.





It also has a cooling effect so you will perspire a bit less.
Reply:My advice would be to see a specialist/dermatologist! Also you might want to check this out! You'll be surprised how many treatment options are out there!
