I think the writer of this aticle is very lucky those ‘tricks worked for him/her. I have suffered from Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) since I was a kid. My entire body gets sweaty, especially my face, neck and armpits. I am now in my 30’s and finding this condition effects every part of my life. Like many other I have tried all of the deodorants available, I used Mitchem as a kid but find it no longer helps. I have taken prescription meds but the side effects were worse than the problem itself. I have tried the whole toilet paper/tissues under the pits, 3 extra outfits, carry deodorant eveywhere I go, and have even had to go as far as wearing deodorant on my face. I also drink heaps of sage tea. At night I have had to lay towels under me to not get the bed wet. I wear pj’s to help soak the sweat up even though it seems to stain my clothes and leave discoloration like a bleach stain. I can no longer work around food or in the public eye (such as customer service) due to this condition. Sure there are more serious conditions going around, but hyperhydrosis can really f*** with a person’s life. It’s not just wet, uncomfortable and embarrassing it is also smelly!! I do wish there was a ‘cure’. Thanks though for the tips, hopefully they will help someone.

I think it took real guts to post this on here. To those who are commenting on ‘this is a minor problem’ then ok, to you it is, but not to other people. And I don’t know if you’ve taken the time to read the above comments but people have actually written things like ‘thanks man, this is an inspiring story’ and ‘Some great advice!’ So it does work. and by the way #8, you said try dealing with real excessive sweating, if it was a real problem we wouldn’t be posting it on here? Do you have this problem? ..then you wouldn’t be posting comments on here either, would you? I thought it was inspiring too, thanks for the post.

I have not tried these steps yet but I sweat like crazy!!!!! In the winter it might be below freezing and I’m sweating like a pig! It looks as someone has got the hose and sprayed my underarms. I’m in school and I’m always with people even in the bathroom so I can’t put on antiperspint without someone seeing my problem. Please help! I can’t be a normal teenager with this problem bcuz I love dance and gymnastics and softball but it’s hard to do when you know ur whole short is sweated out bcuz then people will know! Please tell me what is good for my case or good antiperspents that really work are not just a waste of money. And I’ve experimented. With 5 different deoderents! None work thx please help!

ok, i sweat under my arms, the bottoms of my feet and my palms. I’ve tried every anti-perspirant out there, but none of them work for me. but i hav gym towards the end of the day and after sweating in there i don’t sweat at all my last hour of school!!! So i think i’m gonna try excercising b4 school early in the morning to see if that helps, because thinking positive doesn’t help me during the day. Also, guys, don’t use antiperspirants with aluminum chloride or other wierd chemicals because those are known to cause cancers and stuff.
