HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | EVERYTHING ELSE

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.

I have started to sweat "down there" (or at least I think its sweat) and it has started to stink, what do I do about this????




Hey girl!

That "sweat" is probably discharge - totally normal and nothing to worry about. You can try wearing a pantiliner so that you can change it throughout the day and keep yourself feelin' fresh! Also, make sure your underwear is not too tight and is breathable. If it has started to smell, check out this article: What Stinks Down South? It talks all about that!

MOD MOD MOD! I want something extra for my school lunch. I don't eat from the cafeteria becaus the food are overpriced. All I get is wheat break with oven roasted turkey and an apple. Is there anything extra I can put in? Preferably something with low calories but filling. I don't eat peanut butter or beef. I also can't refergitate or heat food. Is there anything else I can put in my sandwich that is tasty and filling? Any lunch ideas? Low calorie plz. Thanks!




Hey girlie,

Try including a granola bar, fig newtons, sliced carrots with ranch dressing, Wheat Thins crackers, fat free chocolate or vanilla pudding, a hard boiled egg, crackers and string cheese, chips and salsa, popcorn, little oatmeal cookies, snap peas, or raisins! They're all super healthy but can add a different taste to your school lunch Smile

ok i need a little bit of advice. when i shave my legs, the next day they r already hairy. and its noticable since my hair is black...its getting really annoying. do u think waxing will be better? if so i don't know if my mom will let me since "its more expensive" and she's a cheap-o lol. anyway i just need help with this cause like my legs literatly only stay smooth and hair free for like an hour:/




Hey girlie,

Ugh, we've been there! It's totally normal for you to realize that this hair is growing back fast - that's stubble, and we all have it. Personally, I use lotion a few hours after shaving because it seems to keep my skin smoother and helps the hair growing back in look less noticeable. But waxing would help, too! It definitely lasts longer than a shave so your skin will feel smoother, longer. If your mom isn't on board after you explain how much it would mean to you though, you might have to stick with shaving for now. But like I said, we're ALL in the same boat - so if you shave and your hair starts to grow back really quick, just remember that it does that for everyone! <3

this may seem weird but i have hair all over my body and i mean everywhere.it really bothers me.i wanna wear a bikini/monokini this year but i have hair on my back and stomach and i know its not good to shave there and my mom said that she wont let me use nair. so do i have any other options if so what are they?




Hey girlie,

That's not weird at all! Lots of girls have darker hair on their bod - from "peach fuzz" to straight-up hair - and we've all been there, feeling a lil self conscious about it. As for doing something about it, I love this article: it's a reminder that all girls have dealt with "hair, hair everywhere" - and for the most part, it's NOT something you even have to worry about Smile
