Hi All,
Ok, I'm getting more and more worried as its coming up to summer, but I can't seem to stop sweating under my arms, no anti-persperint works at all and its really embarrassing.
Does anyone have any suggestions ? As it really has to be dealt with ! lol.
Many Thanks :P

just don't take a shower for 3 months.
Eventually the dirt covers it up and the smell goes away.
its pretty extreme but I read somewhere about getting botox injected, it paralyses the right parts for a few months and you don't sweat
You could try and have a silicon bath.....you wont sweat ( but you wont breathe either...:D )
Be more conscious of the foods you eat) garlik, onion, even medication pills etc as the odour comes through the pores.
If youre not in an airconditioned environment then you wont stop the sweating...but 1: carry a deodorant stick ( the sports strength ones are best)
And in the morning instead of using a deodorant use some perfume for Men ( I assume your a man...:D )
Hugo Boss for men is great its about $70 Aud but it lasts all day and perfume is much stronger than deodorant.

I take it this will have to be done via my GP ?Quote:

as far as I know yes, not even sure if its available in the UK.
THe important thing is to use anti-perspirants, not deodorants.
Anti-perspirants stop you sweating, deodorants just cover the smell.
Also try to keep away from synthetic fibres and tight clothes.
"Certain DRI"
it differs from conventional anti-persperants in that it's applied at bedtime as opposed to in the morning and it only needs to be applied several nights a week, because it's affects against sweating can last several days at a time.”

I'll pop to the shops when I get a chance and have a look round. Thanks :)
Go to the chemist...
For me, the best anti-perspirant I've ever used was (is) Speed Stick 24/7 - give it a try!

Sounds like the transmission on a sports car!Quote:

hi
you could try a brand of anti perspirant called "Mitchum"(available in the uk at chemists). it is very effective, however it is only this effective because of it's high aluminium chlorohydrate level (the active ingredient in nearly all anti-persperiant) however it usually only requires a short course of something as strong as this to get the perspiring under control, and then you can switch back to a lower level of AC brand.
aluminium chlorohydrates have been linked to both altzimers and cancer, although no positive connections can be sustained at the moment, so as short a course as possible of this high content type of product is probably prudent.
hope some of this helps
peace and love

So you'll smell nice, but you'll forget your appointments for chemotherapyQuote:

ok this is corny but...old spice performance/sports anti perspirants work very good(except the gel), you might not be able to get it overseas tho, I used to have to bring it to my friends...sorry.
Mate if you try all these suggestions your gonna smell like a parfumery....either that or youll be preserved for life......:D

I feel for you Karl. I used to sweat a little even with the A/C on. I wasn't hot, but the glands just kept leaking. Ruined a lot of t-shirts that got yellow quick from it. I know what it's like. You're in a nice a/c'd office, and don't want to go out for lunch in the summer 'cause you don't want to come back a sweaty mess.
Google for Hyperhydrosis. It's common. Look for anti-perpirants like the one giapai3k listed. You apply them before you go to bed, however I found that I had a slight allergic reaction to them, it'd itch for about an hour or two. Use it for a week, then switch back to normal anti-perspirants.
You can buy devices that you put in your sweaty spots that deliver a small electrical charge. They're supposedly safe. A few sessions should work for a few months, but I've never tried them.
Talk to your doctor.
I tried Mitchum, didn't work, its like im Immune to everything lol :(Quote:

and thanks PAlexC, I might give the Certain Dri ago :)
There are several less "dramatic" treatments available in the UK, there are several products that you can use which basically block the pores for a certain period of time. These are usually available in your local chemist or shops such as Boots.Quote:

don't take his advice, he's a gooner - he's been trying to get rid of the smell for years.
I used to have the same problem, talk about embarassing.. Anyhow I now use Old Spice 'Red Zone' ('aqua reef' is my scent of choice :) ) and I can run a marathon and never sweat when I put that stuff on. Just don't buy the powder or the pure gel kind they just don't work as well as the hybrid sticks (don't know what the heck they are called they just look like a cross between powder and gell).
would that be the overly sweet smell of victory? (not that a yiddo would know) ;)Quote:
