What%26#039;s your diet like? Are you overweight?





Your body does need to sweat to help it to clear some toxins from the body through the lymphnodes. Probably part of the reason it has no scent is precisely because if you leave the water running, fungus and bacteria can%26#039;t grow in it. When water sits and is allowed to stagnate is when germs grow and therefore cause odor.





The reason I asked about diet was that some substances like spicey foods may cause your body to enter detox mode and therefore, sweat. I also asked about your weight because usually the more meat you have on your body, the higher your core temperature.





If neither of these are contributing factors, then what you probably have is %26quot;hyperhydrosis%26quot;. If this is the case, you should stop wearing antiperspirant (as it%26#039;s not helping anyways) and and not use soap when you wash under your arms. The links below explain why, or other things you can try that might help.

Congrats! Way to go! Kudos to you!
Reply:maybe one of the things counteracts the anti pers. try just anti perspirant or just go see the doc
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that doctors can give you a prescription to help.





Otherwise you might just kinda be screwed.
Reply:I used to suffer from something similar, I had to have to stuff tissues in my armpits, it was horrible.





I found it was just a phase, like a hormonal thing (I was about 14 when it was happening)
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry! It%26#039;s a common problem to perspire a lot! Try using Certain Dri. It%26#039;s an awesome antipersperant and it seriously stopped my sweating. I used it for about a year and now I don%26#039;t have to use it anymore.
Reply:If all else fails, it can be surgically corrected by removing or cutting off the sweat glands.
Reply:see a doctor and get a prescribed deodorant.
Reply:me too lol.


i dont worry about it i just dont wear grey when im going to exercise, and try to sit and keep it unnoticed until it goes away.


for some reason i have no odor either...
Reply:try that new secret clinical strenght or certain dry
Reply:First of all, be happy that there isn%26#039;t any odor. Also, you should tell a doctor, because you may have this weird problem that my friend has, except it%26#039;s her hands that are always sweating. Also, you should put toilet paper under your arms. (Yeah, it%26#039;s gross, but it%26#039;s not as gross as sweat marks. Ew.) Toilet paper is pretty absorbant but thin, so it should work pretty well without letting people notice.
Reply:have you asked a plastic surgeon about botox injections for the excessive perspiration? remember that not being able to sweat at all isn%26#039;t good because it%26#039;s your bodies way of cooling off.
Reply:I have the same problem, as do my sister and mother. There%26#039;s not a whole lot you can do to make it go away entirely. Wear loose-fitting clothing that breathes (try to stay away from polyester and polyester blends). Take your coat or outerwear off as soon as you go indoors. Dark colors can hide those pit-stains better than light colors. I use Secret Platinum brand deodorant/anti-perspirant - it%26#039;s worked the best for me so far. You can ask your doctor for a prescription for Drysol, which is a super high-strength antiperspirant (it%26#039;s available over-the-counter in Canada, if you live close to the border). My sister tried it and said it worked great for about 3 months, until her body built up an immunity to its effects and her underarm sweat came back with a vengeance.





Otherwise, you%26#039;re just going to have to get used to it. If anyone comments on it, make a joke about how you%26#039;ve been working really hard. Sorry, I know how terribly unsightly and uncomfortable excessive underarm sweat can make you feel as a woman, but there%26#039;s only so much you can do. After you get comfortable with the idea, it%26#039;s really not that bad.
Reply:hopefully you will take the time to read all the way down this list. please believe the dude who told you to try certain dri. the active ingredient is different than 99% of the crap you can buy at walmart or krogers (although you CAN buy certain dri at walmart). it WORKS.





it costs about 5.99, and the directions are a little hard to get used to (dont use after a shower, apply at night before bed, dont use too much, etc) it stings the first couple of times you use it, but wow it works! do not use it in the morning because the stuff WILL bleach clothing etc. i have a couple of discoloration marks on my pillowcases where i laid up against it before it had dried. once it dries, it is ok. it is a clear liquid that comes in a small roll-on bottle. AWESOME STUFF! I wish i had learned about it years earlier.
Reply:try certain dri...its an antiperspirant you use overnight. it worked well for me although it kinda made my underarms itch. you can get it at any drug store for about $5.00
Reply:Hyperhidrosis can be caused by food allergies, or a mineral/vitamin deficiency. I had the ETS surgery done, it%26#039;s very expensive.





I had hyperhidrosis (and a few other symptoms) for many years and went through all the usual treatments.





Anticholinergic drugs, applying topical solutions, botox, and ETS surgery. The surgery was most helpful but several





years later hyperhidrosis began to return.





Years later I was diagnosed with celiac disease, along with a few food allergies. I eliminated wheat, dairy, and sugar from my diet and stopped all prescriptions. I began taking supplements:





- Vitamin B complex


Contains 50mg of every B vitamin plus Folic Acid


- Mineral complex


Contains Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, etc.

Check out this article about hyperhidrosis, grains, and sugars. Scroll about halfway down the page.

(This is not the cause of hyperhidrosis but caused my food allergies and mineral/vitamin malabsorption)
