Profuse Sweating?
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
this is called hyperhidrosis. i suffer from it too. i have yet to find anything that really helps me. but try looking at this website

There could be a couple things going on here, first it could be a condition called hyperhydrosis, i know someone with this condition and they would profusely sweat all the time, and worse with activity and heat…..another thing to is excessive sweating could be a sign of diabetes, or a thryoid problem, so it wouldnt hurt to get blood work done if u havent already to check for these conditions, use a extra strength deoderant or you can get a prescription strength one to help with the odor, and try and drink a lot of water to replace the fluids u are sweating out.. i hope this helps…
I have the same condition in my hands and feet. Its called hyperhidrosis by the way. Anyways, none of the medicines worked for me and Im not going to get surgery for it. I have problems shaking hands with people because my hands are always dripping. I am also a female, so imagine what I go through!! Good Luck.
Drink a lot of water,
Use any ‘clinical strength’ deoderant,
and go see a dermatologist, mine prescribed me a pill to take, and you see results in months.
