I never used to sweat, but now I'm soaked!

 
A few months ago, my underarm perspiration majorly increased. I used to never sweat, but now, it's happening every day. I have to always put my hands on my hips, because if they are glued to my sides, like they usually are, I sweat! My mom has done everything to help me out, buying me fancy soaps and antiperspirants, but nothing works. Please help!
 
Dr. Dee Anna Glaser says, “It sounds like you have hyperhidrosis, which affects about 3 percent of the population.  When the underarms are affected, it usually starts around age 14 to 16.  It has nothing to do with soaps, bathing or cleaning habits.  We think it runs in families.
 

“You can try a clinical strength antiperspirant, which should be applied at night before you go to bed.  You can reapply it in the morning for extra results.  If this doesn't give you relief, it is time to see a dermatologist for prescription medications.”

You can get more information about hyperhidrosis at sweathelp.org.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD i have several questions ok so the first one and this is kinda embarasing i smell down there what could it be and why number 2 i am more devoloped than most of my friend including having big boobs and i am always self contious about it an the last one i got my period last month and ever sense then i have been self contious and it does not help that one of my so called friends has called me fat and ugly before please help

 

Hey girlie, 1. if it smells weird, it might be an infection. If you have any other symptoms, talk to a doctor. If it's just the smell, make sure you're showering daily and see if that takes care of it. 2. your friends will catch up to you. Don't feel self conscious about it. 3. it could be your hormones that are making you feel that way. If there's something in particular that you don't like about yourself, work to change it. Start working out or eating better. Or do your hair differently. You're not ugly, so do what you have to do to feel your best.

Hey girlie, it might just be hormones and your changing body. Use antiperspirant and see if the sweat decreases some.

I have a similar problem, but i sweat on my palms and feet. It's really gross and people gross out when i have to hold hands with them and I always dread dancing with guys cuz i feel like they will think im gross. I always get nervous when i know im gonna have to hold hands with someone and that makes me sweat more. what should I do???

 

Hey girlie, just relax. Sweaty hands and feet is a natural thing. If you don't make a big deal out of it, no one else will either.

I used to have the same problem. But I got sick of it and went to a dermatologist. She prescribed a prescription to cut down on sweating, and it helps SO MUCH! I still use deodorant with it, but I NEVER sweat like I did before.

I have an awful addiction to chewing ice. I've tried just not adding ice to my water, but I like my water to be, well, ice-cold. How can I stop?

 

Hey grace1089, try finding something else to chew on that reminds you of ice. What is it that you like about ice?
