Sweating Archives

I’ve had anxiety and stress problems for the past couple of years. When I get too anxious or stressed, I often sweat even if its cold out. This passed year I’ve seemed to get it under control but it’s beginning to be warmer out and I’ve started sweating suddenly again and not sure if i’ll be able to control my perspiration.

Any tips?

I got botox injected to treat my hyperhidrosis two weeks ago. It has decreased the sweating a bit, but I still sweat a lot from my hands. Is this treatment not that effective, or does it take longer for the full effect to start working?

I know gross right but Im an athlete and it really sucks having to throw away my t-shirts! Ive used bleach pens and that dosent work! HELP

I have problems with profuse constant sweating where it drips all down my face,wets my hair,and dampens my shirt. I even live on the east coast where it’s not to hot.On summer days I want to hide in a air conditioned box all day. On winter days I also continue to sweat. My weight is completely normal for my height,I take no medication, and have no other medical problems. Besides just feeling gross, the worst thing about this is that I’m in my 20’s and it is incredibly embarrassing to go on a date with a girl. I have to constantly wipe my face off with a paper towel (I have to actually stuff my pockets with as much paper towel as I can fit whenever I go out.) Definitely not very attractive. It has nothing to do with nervousness since I am completely comfortable and get this problem whether on a date or just sitting at my PC.My father has the same issue and uses towels every day.Its awful going out with friends and being the only one totally soaked in sweat. Any way to reduce it? help :(

I have excessive armpit perspiration and I am wondering if there are any tips besides using antiperspirant to help stop it. Thanks!

I’m 15, and male. I don’t smell, it’s just a lot of sweat from my armpits. It’s almost un natural I begin to sweat even when it’s not warm and i just end up with massive patches under my pits. This stops me from buying/wearing clothes I would like to. Anyone got any tips on how to stop this?

How much do botox shot cost for palmer hyperhidrosis?? Can they be free as a form of treatment??
Do you need to be insured in the USA?

How about in Canada??

i know this is gross, but I sweat A LOT! I always use deodorant/antiperspirant but nothing seems to work, what can i do about this socially embarrassing problem?

I will be wearing a suit and tie, and I don’t want sweat soaking through shirt and suit jacket. I’ve tried every antiperspirant and none seems to hold sweat off for more than 5 minutes. Any suggestions as to what I should apply to my armpits?

PerspireX, an anti-perspirant which i used to use, doesnt seem to help. whenever i perspire, the perspiration from my underarms will wet my shirt and its embarassing!!! arghhhhh help! is there any way other than surgery to remove the sweat glands?

Everytime i wear a shirt, i sweat in my armpits. like even if im just sitting and doing some thing i sweat, or when im at school, ill be just walking around with friends, then i sweat, immediately . its everytime i wear any shirt.
i DO wear deorderant. and it is antiperspirant. iv tried gel and stick deodorant. but nothing works.
If theres any ideas, please tell me.
thanks!

Please help!
My husband had a hyperhidrosis surgery today. He wants to pee but can’t is it normal and how he can make it to pee?
Thanks a lot everyone.

When the human body begins to overheat, it attempts to maintain a constant temperature through serveral mechanisms, including perspiration. Another mechanism with the same effect is? Choose from the following:
1) a decrease in the blood volume
2) expansion of the skin’s blood vessels
3) conservation of body fluids and salts
4) a decrease in food digestion
5) a decrease in urine production
My answer was Number 3.

Hey, I have been living with profuse sweating all of my life. I talked to a Dr’s in my teens and he gave me Drysol to use in problem areas and said i would come out of it with age. I’m now 25 and I still have the same problem. Not only has it been profuse sweating growing up but it also has been smell. As a teen I took 3-4 showers a day. Now thats not practical and take 2 a day. I don’t have to be active or in a warm environment and it wont take long to sweat through a single or two shirts… when I am active it worsens 20 fold…and literally could fills cups. Is or has anyone had this issue before and what are some things I could do to help make this issue not an issue?
Thanks

I have used everything from regular deodorant/anti perspirate to Certain Dri and Clinical strength. Why can’t I stop sweating?
I am 21 and this has been going on for 10 years now, I shave my pits every morning so that’s not the problem. I have a very clean hygiene.

I catch breast infected cold. Doctor prescribed two 800000 unit and one 1000000 unit penicillin. I used them. My neck and breast started to perspiration when sleeping. Is it an alarm for other serious disease?

I am having an odor down there….the smell is not pleasant but I can’t tell if it’s sweat or an infection. Should the smells that come from my armpit when I sweat resemble the ones in the groin? Are they the same type of sweat glands. PLEASE help, how can I tell if the smell is from sweat or not!

A lot of people that have palmar hyperhidrosis have their hands cold. I dont instead my hands are so clammy and hot. So is there anyone else that has hot hands too.

My armpits sweat a lot, even when im not warm. its really annoying, and it kind of makes me have B.O sometimes, How do i get it to stop?

I’ve tried every deodorant on the market…and none seem to do the trick, not even the "clinical strength waterproof".
I sweat a lot (not smelly, just wet) and it has dictated my wardrobe as I can’t wear colors because of it - unless it’s a loose fit.

How do you deal with this - have you found any solutions? I’ve heard prescription deodorants just stain your clothing…I’ve heard botox works but is it worth the cost?
I am a marathon runner and eat very well, so this isn’t an issue of being unhealthy.

Most sandals or shoes that are meant to be worn without socks have insoles that don’t absorb moisture - not to mention, these materials aren’t very comfortable. I can’t wear most of the sandals or thongs I see due to hyperhidrosis. I’ve seen very few open-toed shoes that have cloth or fabric insoles. Can anyone recommend a line of shoes (or specific pairs) that have absorbent/fabric/cloth/suede insoles?

after skating or playing a sport for 10 minutes, I start sweating like crazy. In fact, I look like a human waterfall. It’s so embarrassing. Is this because that I have a lot of fats in my body or something? I’m average for a 14 year old, but I do tend to snack and eat BK from time to time

I’ve had problems with it for awhile and i’ve tried so many deo’s and stuff too. I was like a major salt aholic though and im not sure if thats what does it or what cuz now its not as bad but its still goin on!grrrr!lol but i dont have a hormonal inbalance and i just got taken off of the birth control and stuff so idk but if you have some suggestions that would be great!
