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.

Just wondering- do you have to wear a tampon when your taking a bath? Cause won't the blood make the water dirty?

 

Hey! When you're completely submerged in water, your flow usually doesn't leak out, but wearing a tampon in those situations is probably a good idea.

MOD MOD MOD sometimes if i dont put on deoderant my armpits itch like crazy! why does it happen? thanks!

 

Hey girlie, I've never heard of that happening before. It might have something to do with the sweat that builds up there when you don't wear deodorant. It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring it up the next time you're at the doctor's office.

in a couple of months, i am getting this big mole removed from my back. i am kinda happy about it, it's really gross and ugly, but i am also very scared and nervous. my doctor said the operation would only take 10 min, but i am still stressing about it. im not so worried about the pain, more about the fact that i have someone scrapping off a mole in my back. i was just hoping for some "relaxing" tips for when they will be removing it (i wont be alseep, they will only freeze the area in my back, so i will be fully awake)
thank you so much for your time!

 

Hey! you have nothing to worry about, but I totally understand why you might feel anxious anyway. practice deep breathing techniques and try focusing on a specific thought like a scene from a movie to take your mind off of it. good luck!

MOD!!
I'm almost 15 and still don't have any underarm hair. Is that normal?




Hey girl!

Have you gone through puberty yet? If not, it will happen to you soon enough and you'll get to experience the pleasures of arm pit hair. If you have gone through puberty-- then you might just have super thin/light hair. Ask your doctor if you're concerned




best of luck!

So I am on a swim team over the summer and I shave my armpits like every day. But when I shaved them they never shave all of the hair off. Is there a way to get a perfect underarm shave??
thank you..please help.

 

Hey girl!  Armpits aren't like arms- the hair grows in all different directions!  Try shaving top to bottom, bottom to top, AND side to side to see if that helps.  Also, exfoliate first and of course lather up to keep from irritating your skin! xoxo
