Hey,
I'm a teenager, and I have sweaty armpits. It's very hard on me. It is so humiliating. I am embarassed to lift my arms up!
I already have a product to stop it, but I always have to use the product (Aluminum). And my mother is worried about Alu' because apparently it's not good for you. I hate putting it on, it's annoying, and it's a burden.
I've had this problem beginning grade 6, and now I'm in grade 12. I want it GONE! It's disgusting, and it's destroying my self-esteem (well, I'd have to have some to destroy anything).
Anyone know how to help and/or have the same problem?
Thank you for listening,
Waiting impatiently for some of your voices,
-T

Sweaty
I have seen on Discovery/Health program a year ago
A man with the problem went to a doctor that sealed the sweat glans so they stop leaking so much
It worked
Was not to costly
They used a laser to do this
Took about 10 minutes
Poof: no more sweating
Google: doctor Laser Sweat glans
Good luck

Dear T,
I also had this problem. I had an outpatient surgery procedure in 2000 at a hospital in South Beach Florida that cured my problem and I thank God everyday that I was able to get this done (my mother paid for the portion of the cost that was not covered by my insurance at the time). I found out about this procedure from an article in Prevention Magazine. My life is so much better! My problem mainly was sweaty palms which affected doing paper work and having to shake hands with people was horrible! I do remember when I was your age that I had alot of excessive armpit sweating - I would think that the procedure I had done would cure your problem...I wish I could have done it earlier in life. I am not at home right now but once I get back home (next week) I will find the information on this and post it for you.
Hello.. I'm new on here, but understand your problems. Having raised 5 teens myself! I believe in natural cures first. Try these:
Slice a potato and wipe it under each clean and dry underarm a few times. Wait for it to dry and then apply deodorant.
Drink more water.
Or try tannin tea solution...steep some tea. Drink the tea,let the tea bags cool and use like the potato trick..
Good luck
They sound weird but work
Have you tried any perscription strength OTC anti-persperents? If not, why not give them a try? Although, be ready to play musical deoderant! Some brands will make your pits itch, while others will not work... Everyone's different (Such as...I tried the Degree Clinical Strength and got a rash, while my mother used it and had no problem). If you're sensitive to certain products, Secret has a hypo-allergenic perscription strength solid.
Although it's no garentee they will work either, but at least try them, and you can always try a man's anti-persperant if you're a woman. Believe it or not, sometimes that does the trick.
OMG! i have the same problem but i am in 8th grade and it is so annyoing and embarrising. It like actually drips though sometimes... and now im very scared to hold a guys hand because they sweat alot. but my armpits are worst. I dont know what to do either :(
I have had it since like 4th or 5th grade and i have no idea what i should do. I have went to the doctor and they proscibed a deoderant called hypercare and i sweat through that like no other.
