Question:

I'm in my 20's and can't control my underarm sweating. No matter what I do I wind up sweating excessively every day. It's embarrassing! I am way too embarrassed to go to my doctor. What can I do at home to stop excess sweating?

Answer:

It sounds like you may suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excess sweating. This can be an embarrassing problem for men and women alike. Women who suffer from hyperhidrosis many times have to stear clear from the latest fashions, and men have to deal with large stains when walking into meetings even if they wear a t-shirt underneath.

It's not fun, and many people deal with this embarrassing problem. Rest assured, you have options to stop excess sweating, and you don't necessarily have to go to the doctor. (Although, you'd be surprised at just how many things your doctor sees on a daily basis. This is nothing!)

There are products that you use like you would a deodorant, but apply them at night before bed. The best is Certain Dri. (compare prices) These products actually block your pores under your arms which completely stops the sweat from forming. You only need to use this product a couple times a week, and from day one you'll notice results. It's important to remember to put this on at night. If you apply during the day, you will most likely deal with itchiness. It's also important to not apply to freshly shaved skin. Don't worry about washing in the morning, this won't wash off in your shower.

If that doesn't do the job, then it's time to make that appointment. There are products and procedures your doctor can tell you about.

They are even using Botox injections now to stop excess sweating, but start with the Certain Dri. It's an amazing product, and I've had many people tell me they've gotten immediate relief.
