I sweat all the time!!!! I have tried so many deodorants but can't seem to find one that works. I've tried creams, sprays even this crystal rock thing. nothing works. One of my friends told me i might have hyperhydrosis. Does anyone have this problem and what works for it
I ThINk I sweat too much?
I got this problem out of nowhere last year, I asked my pharamcist, they reccomended a product called drisol. It comes in a bottle like a bingo dabber or a cream. It works wonders, I use it for 2 days (nights should say...before bed) in a row, and dont sweat for a week...its awesome, and perfectly safe. Depending on where u live, u will have something like this, maybe just a different namebrand. I bought mine at walmart for under $20. Btw, its a behind the counter product, so u'll have to ask the pharamcist. Hope this helps! =)
I ThINk I sweat too much?
talk to ur doctor about this u may have this disorder and he ill prescribe some good deoderants
Reply:Yeah, talk to your doctor about it. If other deodorants don't work your doctor could probably get you some sort of oral medication. (I don't have it myself but I know someone who does) They have pills for it and if it is severe enough they even have surgical options.... although I am not trying to promote something as drastic as surgery.
Reply:I would suggest trying Certain-Dri. It's in the deodorant section of your grocery store and works wonders. I have had massive under arm perspiration ever since I was in about 5th or 6th grade and tries all of the methods you have.
When I was in 8th grade I saw a commercial for it and looked up excessive underarm perspiration on WebMD and they all seemed to reccommend this product. I bought some and have been religiously using it for 3 1/2 years. It still works too!
In the summer though I still perspire, but that's only because of the heat or exercising. I just no longer sweat in doors when I'm not even hot.
Certain-Dri costs not even $5 and lasts for a long time. I highly reccommend it. You apply a few strokes under your arms ever other day or every three days and it lasts for about 2-3 days. I've been going up to 5 days without putting any on and it still works. It may cause some itching when it dries, and don't put it on after you shave because it'll burn a tad. Good-luck!
Reply:I'm sure this is a very difficult thing for you to go through. Talk with your physician.
Here are some treatment options from Wikipedia:
* Aluminum chloride (hexahydrate) solution: Common brands of aluminum cholride solution (as anti-perspirant) include "MegaDry庐" (which uses a non-irritating blend of aluminum chlorohydrate), Drysol庐, CertainDri庐, B-Drier庐, Odaban庐, and Driclor庐. While aluminum chloride is used in regular antiperspirants, hyperhidrosis sufferers need a much higher concentration to effectively treat the symptoms of the condition. A 15% aluminum chloride solution or higher usually takes about a week of nightly use to stop the sweating, with one or two nightly applications per week to maintain the results. An aluminum chloride solution can be very effective; some people, however, cannot tolerate the irritation that it can cause but these constitute a minority of all patients. Also, the solution is usually not effective for palmar (hand) and plantar (foot) hyperhidrosis - for which iontophoresis (see below) may yield better results in some circumstances.[citation needed]
* Surgery (Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy or ETS): Select sympathetic nerves or nerve ganglia in the chest are either cut or burned (completely destroying their ability to transmit impulses), or clamped (theoretically allowing for the reversal of the procedure). The procedure often causes anhidrosis from the mid-chest upwards, a disturbing condition. Major drawbacks to the procedure include thermoregulatory dysfuction (Goldstien, 2005), lowered fear and alertness (Teleranta, Pohjavaara, et al 2003, 2004) and the overwhelming incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis. Some people find this sweating to be tolerable while others find the compensatory hyperhidrosis to be worse than the initial condition. It has also been established that there is a low (less than 1%) chance of Horner's syndrome. Other risks common to minimally-invasive chest surgery, though rare, do exist. Patients have also been shown to experience a cardiac sympathetic denervation, which results in a 10% lowered heartbeat during both rest and exercise. ETS was thought to be helpful in treating facial blushing and facial sweating. According to Dr. Reisfeld, the only indication for ETS at present is excessive and severe palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive hand sweating). Statistics have shown that when treated for facial blushing and/or excessive facial sweating, the failure rate of ETS for those two clinical presentations is higher and patients are more prone to side effects.[citation needed]
* Surgery (Sweat gland suction): A new technique adapted and modified from liposuction. On an out-patient basis with only local anaesthesia, the sweat glands are permanently removed in a gentle, non-aggressive manner. The sweat glands and armpits are first softened and anaesthetized with a special solution. After a short period, the sweat glands can then be removed in a manner similar to liposuction. Only small incisions above and under the armpits are required to remove the sweat glands through quick suction. The entire minimally invasive operation takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Patients can go home directly after the procedure. Some can even return to work after leaving the practice, although taking the rest of the day off is recommended. Over 95% of patients report considerably less discomfort and permanent dryness.
* Botulinum toxin type A (Botox庐): Injections of the botulinum toxin are used to disable the sweat glands. The effects can last from 4-9 months depending on the site of injections. With proper anesthesia the hand and foot injections are almost painless. The procedure when used for underarm sweating has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and now some insurance companies pay partially for the treatments.[citation needed]
* Iontophoresis: This method was originally described in the 1950s, and its exact mode of action remains elusive to date. The affected area is placed in a device that has two pails of water with a conductor in each one. The hand or foot acts like a conductor between the positively- and negatively-charged pails. As the low current passes through the area, the minerals in the water clog the sweat glands, limiting the amount of sweat released. Common brands of tap water iontophoresis devices are the Drionic庐, Idrostar and MD-1A (RA Fischer). Some people have seen great results while others see no effect. However, since the device can be painful to some (it is important to note that pain is usually limited to small wounds and that over time the body adjusts to the procedure) and a great deal of time is required, no cessation of sweating in some people may be the result of not using the device as required. The device is usually used for the hands and feet, but there has been a device created for the axillae (armpit) area and for the stump region of amputees.
* Oral medication: There are several oral drugs available to treat the condition with varying degrees of success.[citation needed] A class of anticholinergic drugs are available that have shown to reduce hyperhidrosis. Ditropan庐 (generic name: oxybutynin) is one that has been the most promising. For some people, however, the drowsiness and dry-mouth associated with the drug cannot be tolerated. A time release version of the drug is also available, called Ditropan XL庐, with purportedly reduced effectiveness. Robinul庐 (generic name: glycopyrrolate) is another drug used on an off-label basis. The drug seems to be almost as effective as oxybutynin, with similar side-effects such as a dry mouth or dry throat often leading to pain in these areas. Other less effective anticholinergic agents that have been tried include propantheline bromide (Probanthine庐) and benztropine (Cogentin庐). A different class of drugs known as beta-blockers has also been tried, but does not seem to be nearly as effective. Since the disorder is often caused by or exacerbated by high-anxiety, antidepressant drugs, such as Zoloft庐, often help alleviate symptoms.[citation needed]
-Hyperhidrosis can usually be very effectively controlled, but there is no known permanent cure owing to the fact that little is known about the cause behind excessive sweating.
* Weight-Loss: Hyperhidrosis can be aggravated by obesity, so weight-loss can help. However, most people with hyperhidrosis do not sweat excessively due to obesity.[citation needed]
* Relaxation and meditation: Relaxation techniques have been tried with limited success.[citation needed]
* Hypnosis: Hypnosis has been used with limited success.[citation needed]
* Percutaneous Sympathectomy: a minimally invasive procedure in which the sympathectomy nerve is blocked by an injection of phenol.
* Talc/Baby Powder: One temporary treatment is talc or baby powder because the powder will absorb the sweat, the only problem is, after a while the powder may become a messy white coating on the place of application.
* Acupuncture
Reply:I'm not sure what "too much" sweating means or the amount that you do sweat. So, my advise is to talk with your doctor and ask his/her opinion. You may need a test to check your thyroid functioning.
Reply:yeah, you have hyperhidrosis.
I have it too, I've had it ever since I was like 9 years old.
I've tried Secret Clinical Strength but it wasn't strong enough.
Next, I tried 5 Day which a doctor said worked for her and that wasnt strong enough either.
Then my doctor prescribed me Drysol.
I havent had a chance to use it yet but
it's prescription strength so it should be strong enough or atleast greatly reduce the sweat.
But there's many brands, just to name a few:
CertainDri
Odaban
Driclor
B-Drier
Maxim
Megadry
And you could also put some baby power on your clothes
To absorb some of the sweat.
Best wishes! :]
