Stupid sweating problem?!?

mmk. this is kinda embarressing for me, so don't make fun of me.





i sweat a lot. i wear deoderant and shower everyday. i've tried a ton of deoderant; ban, secret, secret clinical strength, dove, and even degree mens (cuz i heard it worked better). none of those seem to help.





this really effects my self esteem, and i normally keep my arms down tightly to my sides (people have even asked me why i look so stiff).





i really need a deoderant (preferably a nonscented one, because i tend to over-apply) that can stop me from sweating, or atleast decrease that amount that i sweat, for about 6-7 hours (school).





any suggestions?

Stupid sweating problem?!?
My cousin had the same problem, she use cornstarch powder but not using any deodorant. She shake on her hand then apply to underarms, repeat to another side then be sure to rinse in water or you get all whites all over your clothes. Carry 3oz. bottle in your purse and re-apply in the middle of the day. She never had sweating problem again. Try it!





Wish you good luck!
Reply:Not a stupid question at all! I have the same problem. It is diagnosed as hyperhydrosis. You may want to reaserch this a bit. For now try certain-dry or maxim deodorant (found online) It has pretty much worked for me for underarms. I am still trying to work out the sweaty hands situation. Botox injections are an option. Best of luck to you.
Reply:You might want to try an Anti Perspirant rather than a deodorant. You can use powder or corn starch under your arms which should help keep them dry. Maybe keeping your arms tucked in to your sides are causing you to sweat more from being nervous about sweating.


See a dermatologist, I'm sure they can help you.
Reply:I have been sweating a lot all my life and have never found a deodorant or antipersperant that keeps the underarms dry.


In the summer when it is hot my whole body sweats and it looks like I ran through a shower with my clothes on .


I have read in health magazines that you shouldn't use the stuff that stops you from sweating because the sweat is getting toxins out of your body.


My best suggestions would be to wear light colored tops that don't show wettness like white, or colors that have multicolors or a lot of activity, like swirls, stripes, etc that will tend to camoflage the sweat marks.


Also shaving the hair under your arms will cut down on the smell as well as using deodorant.
