My armpits are like a faucet: how to stop excessive sweating

Do you feel like you could fill a kitchen sink or even a bathtub with the amount of sweat that drips from your armpits every day? Are you frustrated with sweat marks ruining your clothes and causing you embarrassment in public? Sweating can be extremely frustrating and annoying. While sweating is necessary to help the body cool down, excessive sweating is a nuisance. If you find that you are sweating excessively, you may be suffering from a condition called hyperhidrosis. There are things you can do to help stop the dripping faucet under your arms.

Go to the doctor: there is a product called Drysol that can only be prescribed by doctors. You apply it at night and you will see results from the second or third night. Your doctor may also suggest other medical alternatives to control your sweating.

Get the right deodorant: you need a deodorant that also has an antiperspirant. It is the antiperspirant that controls sweating, while the deodorant controls odor. So try new deodorants/antiperspirants until you find one that works for you. You can also apply more than once during the day.

Change your diet: a simple change in your diet can help decrease the amount of sweat. Eating healthier will help your body function better and better control sweating.

Sweat pads: wear underarm sweat pads under your arms. These absorb sweat and reduce clutter and help protect your clothes from sweat stains.

Stop dripping faucets. Follow the tips above and find out what will work best for you to control your sweat. You don’t have to live with excessive sweat affecting everything you do. There are solutions. Don’t let sweat keep you from enjoying life.
