I Can't Stop Sweating

I walk to school every day and no matter what the weather is, when I get to school, I start sweating like a pig. My head and neck get really sweaty and I hate it. Is there anything I can do about it?
 
Don’t worry--lots of girls (and guys) have this problem, and the hot early fall weather we’re having doesn’t help your cause. If you’re not already using an antiperspirant, that’s the first step. Make sure you’re not slathering it on too heavily (a thin layer will actually work better).
 
Since you walk to school, the exercise is gonna cause your heart rate to go up, so maybe you should try wearing somethin’ sleeveless when it’s hot out, and just one layer that’s not super-tight when it starts gettin’ a little cooler out (try cotton and other breathable fabrics). Then you can add a cute T-shirt or sweater when you get to school and have cooled down. Also make sure to leave yourself plenty of time so that you don’t have to race to class, causing your heart rate to shoot up even higher and you to feel anxious, which will only make you sweat more.
 
Anxiety is a major cause of perspiration, so try to chill out. You can also ask your parents about buying one of the “clinical” strength antiperspirants sold along with the rest of the deodorants and antiperspirants at the drug store. It might help to keep some in your locker or backpack to dab on when you get to school.

I sweat way too much. Like at school I would start sweating for no reason, I wasn't nervous and even moving I would just be sitting at my desk. It wasn't even hot in the classroom! Now I'm doing a volleyball open gym and camp and I wore a black shirt to hide stains but I still sweated pretty bad. I've tried different kinds of deodorants(they were all antiperspirants too) and nothing has worked. I even wear breathable clothing and it doesn't help. My feet, face, underarms, back, boobs, and even 'down there' sweat. I don't know what I'm going to do if I make the volleyball team because we have to wear spandex and if I sweat 'down there' I'm afraid it will leave stains on my spandex and people will see them. My mom said we can ask the doctor about it when I get my physical but I won't be getting a physical for like 2 months. Do you know any ways to help me? thanks so much!




Well, chicky, the only solution that doesn't involve a doc is to get an antiperspirant that specifically says "clinical strength." If you've already tried that, then you'll have to wait for the doc's opinion because other treatments involve oral medications, surgery, or an iontophoresis machine (uses electrical currents to stop sweating). This is a common problem, though, so don't worry - the doc will get ya all fixed up for sure.

MOD(: Im 14, 5'6, with the perfect body... except I have a smaller chest than the average 11 year old. Im thinking if i want a bigger chest than Im going to need to gain weight because breast are just fat tissue, right? Im afraid to gain weigh in the wrong areas and not be able to lose if i doesn't work right. Any suggestions?!?!?! THANKS! I.B.T.C

 

 

Hey girly girl! I wouldn't gain weight just to make your chest size bigger. That's unhealthy. Instead, I'd go shopping for a cute push-up bra! Works wonders Smile

Wow. The exact same thing happens to me): It's so embarassing! I get it mostly in my underarms and I Have to keep my arms down. I have tried what yuo just said to do, one layer shirts, no sleeves. But we just got uniforms at our school so i have no choice!! I do a thin layer of deodorant but still, nothing. I walk to school and its BAD. I thought it was because I'm a little chubby but, I don't know. HELP!!! ANYONE???

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
