so your advice is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

Extreme sweating?
i think thats hot. don't do anything.
Reply:ok so i had the same problem, it can be so lame! just go to your doctor and ask for aluminum chloride. it's just a cheap, special rx antiperspirant that will make you stop sweating completely!
Reply:I heard botox injections under your armpits work.
Reply:have you ever seen that commercial for the secret clinical deodorant thing, well it REALLY works i had the same problem and it helped a lot!
Reply:Look for an antiperspirant with aluminum chloride. This is the active ingredient in most antiperspirants that works by blocking the pores to prevent sweat from escaping. While you may have heard rumors about aluminum chloride being linked to diseases such as breast cancer, it has never been proven to increase any health risks, says Jim Garza, M.D., founder of The Hyperhidrosis Center in Houston.





If your excessive sweating is consistent, and it happens regardless of your activity level, the temperature or the product you're using, talk to your doctor. It's possible that you could have hyperhidrosis, a condition that affects about 8 million Americans. People with hyperhidrosis suffer from extremely sweaty hands, feet and underarms due to overstimulation of the sweat glands, Garza explains.





If you have do have the condition, your doctor can work with you to investigate treatment options. Drysol, an aluminum-chloride and ethyl-alcohol solution, is available by prescription. It's usually applied at night and washed off in the morning, and should be used until the sweating is under control. Botox, the popular injectable wrinkle remedy, also can be used to control sweating; injected into the skin, it temporarily paralyzes the sweat glands in the treated area. The procedure is done in a doctor's office and needs to be repeated only once or twice yearly--at a cost of about $600-$700 per treatment.
Reply:When you say you've tried all the deodorants, are you including clinical deodorants like certain dri or prescription deodorant, Drysol?





Clinical deodorants contain higher levels of Aluminum Chloride. That's the ingredient that blocks your sweat pores and prevents the wetness.





Other than clinical deodorant, my suggestions would be:


-Drink more water to lower your body temperature.


- Exfoliate your underarms while showering. This helps


- Use an antibacterial soap on your sweating parts in the shower. This drys out the skin.


- Avoid caffeine, spicy foods and alcohol


- Wear breathable clothing material
