Embarrassing Illnesses

hi. i am a 15 year old girl and i think i have a sweating problem but whenever i try to tell someone they just say it is because i am a teenager and all teenagers sweat but i wseat a lot more than all of my friends. please help.

Hello

I haven't got a problem with sweating but I have read an article recently that said that Cypress essential oil is good for sweating. The lady in the article said it had reduced the amount of sweating her hands did. I also know someone who has seen a hypnotherapist about their excessive sweating and it has helped them deal with the anxiety about it. I hope this info helps. xx

I have hyperhidrosis and have just been referred to a dermatologist who i hope is able to help. Options seem to be botox for underarms and iontophoresis (google it!) for hands and feet. I have found that odaban anti perspirant (available online) works best for underams, hands or feet for me. I also use the new sure max deodrant which doesn't irritate my skin. All about perseverence i think and not letting it take over your life! Hope that helps a bit.

I sweat at school LOTS, as a result of this sewating i stink and i have allmost no friends.
Please help as i am only 14 and dont want this to ruin my life.

Hi im 16 and ive been suffering from hyperhidrosis for 4years. i have used several deos and antiperspirant but they dont seem to make any differnce. All my tops are black and white and sometimes im wearing jacket to cover up my armpit. Its not just my armpit that sweats alot even my hands and my feet sweats alot. it made me feel embarrased in shaking people hands or givin them a high 5. It is so embarrasing. this thing is making my social life ruined..

hiyaa i am 15 and i sweat constantly i have to change my top several times a day and it really smells! i cant cover it up with any spray or what ever else i have used! i also have acne could this be linked in with a hormone problem??

hi iam 19 youngman

Even mostime i cant shake people hands because of the sweat on my hands
i need help please

To the person who said about Driclor
i use this, and the only way to stop it itching, becoming irritated and hurting is to not use it when you have just recently shaved under your arms and itching whilst you have it on!

Usually when i use it i wait until the hair under my arms is quite long and it doesn't hurt as much, this is obviously annoying because you don't want to have hairy under arms but i found after using driclor for a few weeks it stopped me sweating completely and then you can reduce the amount of time you use it, so this is the time where you can shave under your arms and then when you need to use it again let the hair grow back again etc.

Hope this helped

Im 14 and i sweat more than my friends. I cant wear t-shirts, long sleeves or anything thats tight or near my underarms. If i do i have a sweat patch within 3 minutes even when i use deodrant, none of them are any good. Also when im in school i cant take my blazer of because my shirt will be all wet near the arms but it wont smell. I have to wear a jumper or jacket everywhere and they even have sweat patches on them. Please Help x

Hi, Im 22 years of age and I experience sweat problems, I only have it under my right arm. i have to wear mainly 2-3 top so you don't recognise the sweat on my armpits. I went to see my local GP, the Dr thought it had TB, then they took some blood and urine sample, the result came back ok, I have changed my deodarents but they don't seem to make any difference. its worse when i get nervous. It's only started inthe last couple of month but its effecting me in so manyss.. please Help. lookig forward in hearing from you.. thanks
