Terrible sweating problem!!!!?
There are a couple of prescription-strength antiperspirants on the market, Certain Dri and Secret Clinical Strength. Ask your parent about these; they both do contain aluminum, but if you keep it to your underarms only, it can be used.
Reply:Some people sweat a lot and some people don't sweat. It doesn't mean you have hypothyroidism. My Dr. prescribed "Drysol" for excessive sweating. Talk to your Dr.
Reply:I have the same exact problem, it stinks. I use Secret Clinical Strength and I put it on before I go to bed, it helps.
Reply:I'm 15 and i kinda have the same problem but i have hyperhydrosis but all i did was looked it up on google and just kinda got familiar with what causes it and then looked at what i could do to prevent it and it also said something about botox and surgery! so just talk to your parents and maybe they can help you out!
Reply:you can try Certain Dry Anti-Perspirant for your underarms you can buy it at any store like longs it is not that expensive it works . or put rubbing alcohol on.
Reply:Don’t however, think that botox or cosmetic surgery is the only option for your sweating problem. There are other methods and these involve strong medications which can inhibit sweat production by the body, or as is mostly the case, will lead to a lessening of sweat production.





These medications should only be taken under medical supervision as some people can have adverse reactions to them.





Here is a list of few conventional and inexpensive ideas to control your sweating problem. http://my-sweating.info





If they don't work, I suggest you talk to your parents and your family doctor to resolve your excessive sweating problem.

Excessive Sweating?

I sweat very easy all over. I can be in a -40* freezer with just a coat on and doing very little work and i end up sweating.I have also gained weight and only eat about 1 meal a day sometimes 2 but most of the time 1. I play Racquetball 2 times a week for about 3 hours each time. Seems like the weight just came on all of a sudden. The sweating makes it miserable for me and people around me. I cant even take a woman out dancing because of this. can you help?

Excessive Sweating?
mmmmmmmmm...my best advice would be talk with your physician, to insure that this is nothing health related. Then, if it is just the hygiene issue, that's easy...wear absorbent clothing...try to maintain an environment with suitable temperatures and humidity, wear extra-strong antiperspirants, and who knows, maybe your physician can prescribe something to help...whether it is serious issue or not. I would say it isn't, be be sure...I have 2 friends who have same issues...neither is medical..just overactive sweat glands....they do fine...good luck!!!
Reply:well i use to swet under my armpits when i was younger and it could be cold just like u r dooin i used baby powder and i changed deodrants
Reply:same for me i sweat for nothing! just imagine me during basketball season and track! im drenched with sweat!


Why am I sweating so much, and how can I stop it?

I'm 14 years old, and for the past year or so I've been sweating alot under my armpits. I wear layered clothing, and sweaters all the time to make the sweat stains non-noticable. When I'm in hot rooms, I sweat more. I've used a number of antiperspirants/deodorants but it still doesn't work. What can help stop the sweating?

Why am I sweating so much, and how can I stop it?
try wearing natural, non man-made fibres such as cotton to help your skin "breathe" easier.Also don't wear tight fitting clothing, and most of all, don't worry or feel self conscious as this will make you feel worse ...
Reply:maybe you need to take a bath every nite and then apply anti/deoderant before you go to sleep like secret clinical prescription, mitchum for woman soft solid kind or something that has high concentration percentage. Hope this help and take care Report It

Reply:dont get a wrong diagnose on the sweats Report It

Reply:Many reasons for sweating. Look up excessive sweating on the net. There are good answers there.

Bad sweating problem?

i have a really bad sweating problem. im 22 so its not hormones. i mean bad, as soon as i put on a shirt it is soaked even when its cold. my hands and feet and the back of my legs sweat badly. im normal weight, and all my thyroid tests, and vitamin levels and pretty much every other test possible have been performed on me recently. no deodarent works, men, women percription strength. its so embarassing. i drink tons of water, and i dont drink, or do drugs. why do i sweat as much as a pro wrestler?

Bad sweating problem?
It does sound like hyperhidrosis. There are many treatments available including drugs, topical treatments, acupuncture etc. If those fail to work in some cases surgery is an option and has been known to be very successful.


Sometimes the excessive sweating is part of some other condition (secondary hyperhidrosis) which would be why they're performing all those tests on you. If no cause can be found then you'll likely be diagnosed with Primary Hyperhidrosis which is more rare.


Keep going to the doctor and trying every treatment, hopefully you'll find one that works.
Reply:It sounds like hyperhidrosis -- you should check with your doctor. Or google it - there are a lot of products on the market that claim to work, but I have no clue what is good.


Excessive sweating?

so i sweat a lot, under my arms. it can be hot. it can be cold. but i always sweat. its really embarassing, so usually i just wear sweatshirts year round, even if its 90 degrees out, and im outside running around. sometimes it even goes through my sweatshirt, if its one of the tightly fit ones (like they have at hollister and aeropostale). ive tried secret clinical deodorant.. or whatever its called.. the stuff you put on at night. it hasnt helped at all. im 16, in high school.. so maybe its something to do with puberty. does anyone know what i can do (besides surgery and botox stuff) to stop sweating so much? even if it just helps a little ill be very greatful. thank you.

Excessive sweating?
I had the exact same problem and had tried all store bought '24 dryness' deodorants. I went to the doctor, they prescribed me driclor (available in some chemists/drug stores) which you apply underarms or wherever else every night for two weeks, then drop it down to every few days, then eventually to once a week.





It works! It's a miracle worker, give it a fair go, it WILL make your underarms very dry for those two weeks but it's worth it definitely, no doubt about it. I am now completely sweat free.





It's a star :)
Reply:You can get injections at clincs and hospital; they inject this stuff into your armpits to stop it from happening.





And as for why does it happen, it's just your body. All bodies are different, love,.
Reply:get a really good deodarabt like secret clinacal strenght and put it on throughout the day or whenever you feel embarased
Reply:well, there could be a possibility that it has to do with puberty, but check to see if ur mom or dad went through this, or any of ur relatives. it could be in the genes.
Reply:I use dry sol. You can get it at a drug store...im not sure if you can get it without a perscription. You put it on at night and remove it in the morning. If you put on too much you can get irritation. 1 aplication will keep you dry for about 2 weeks, remember to wear your deoderant as usual, but dry sol will help stop excessive sweating.
Reply:okay, i know what its like not to wear shirts you want to and having to cover up in sweatshirts and such even when it's cold because of sweating. tried everything like arm and hammer , dove clinical and was even thinking about the surgery to correct it and thats when i went to the dermatologist. sweetie what i can recommend to you and please take this advice, ask for DRYSOL. you apply it once every few days( it's a topical solution). it burns a bit at first but trust me it works!!! i have never been happier to finally wear some nice feminine shirts.!!!! hope this helps!


Sudden sweating for no reason?

This happens several times a day.My blood pressure has been a little high the last month.I am on a blood pressure med and a water pill.I just start sweating for no reason and sometimes it's a cold sweat.I wake up in the night with the bed soaked.The sweating seems to start in my head and upper body.What could this be?

Sudden sweating for no reason?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body sweats excessively for little or no reason.





Primary hyperhidrosis is the condition characterized by abnormally increased perspiration, in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. Some patients afflicted with the condition experience a distinct reduction in the quality of life. Sufferers feel at a loss of control because perspiration takes place independent of temperature and emotional state.





However, anxiety can exacerbate the situation for many sufferers. A common complaint of patients is that they get nervous because they sweat, then sweat more because they are nervous. Other factors can play a role; certain foods %26amp; drinks, nicotine, caffeine, and smells can trigger a response.





There is controversy regarding the definition of hyperhidrosis, because any sweat that drips off of the body is in excess of that required for thermoregulation. Almost all people will drip sweat off of the body during heavy exercise.





Hyperhidrosis can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body. Hands, feet, axillae, and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of the body may be affected.





Primary hyperhidrosis is usually found to start during adolescence (or before)and there appears to be a genetic tendency towards the condition.





Primary hyperhidrosis must be distinguished from secondary hyperhidrosis, which can start at any point in life. The latter form may be due to a disorder of the thyroid or pituitary gland, diabetes mellitus, tumours, gout, menopause or certain drugs.





Primary hyperhidrosis is estimated at around 1% of the population, afflicting men and women equally
Reply:It could be your hormones.
Reply:You didn't reveal your age but this sounds a lot like menopause. Yes?





So sorry about the heart attack. Wishing you well.......

Calories burned when sweating?

Do you burn more calories when you sweat more then you would doing the same thing and not sweating as much, like for insteads if im mowing the lawn in 30 degrees and dripping sweat do i burn more then i would if i was mowing the lawn in 15 degree weather and not sweating so much?

Calories burned when sweating?
Well think of this, sweating is only the body's way of cooling off itself. It's like how you can sit outside in 100 degree weather and sweat like crazy but be burning hardly any calories because you are doing nothing. I bet you'd actually burn more calories if you are outside mowing in 15 degree weather, especially if you are cold because then your body is having to burn energy to keep you warm. If by some chance you did burn more calories by mowing while it's hot, it would be so small it would not even be noticeable!
Reply:The difference between the two is marginal. You really wouldn't burn enough calories while sweating to be noticeable.
Reply:The difference is marginal. Unfortunately, the sweat has to come from a hard workout to effectively burn calories.
