For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My other half has for years sweated profusely from his armpits. Not like a smelly sweat but like if someone had switched the taps on. Even in cold weather.
I found a roll on deodorant in Tesco which is an aluminium deodorant. You apply it every other night before going to bed and wash it off in the morning. This has stopped his problem completely. I think it's called perspirex. We tried everything and nothing worked and he even had an allergic reaction to another aluminium deodorant, but this one is excellent.
Removing the sweat glands are a bit excessive but I can understand that it's frustrating for you. But before going under the knife you could also try Botox as that stops it for about 6-9 months.
Hope you get it worked out. Take Care
Anytime floss85, it's always nice to know when you can help others. I'm sure most chemist also sell this so you could print out the picture and take it with you.
One word of advice, stick to the instructions religiously as it can easily cause irritation. Now that my other half have used it for some time and has it under control he only uses it about once or twice a week. it's so nice to see him enjoy himself as he was so self conciouss and would change tops several times a day.
I used to suffer from exactly the same problem, no matter what the weather, I had 'wet' armpits and it affected the clothes I could wear. I found that both Perspirex and Driclor both worked, as long as you applied them religiously and followed the instructions to the letter (which I didn't always do!)
Now I am slightly older (10 years later) I find that although I still suffer sometimes, the problem is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, I don't know why, maybe it's a hormone thing!
I bought the Perspirex deodrant from Tecos and used it for 2 nights (exactly how it said in the instructions) but its gave me a servere rash - that looked like a very bad burn. I think it must be an ingrediant in it that is also in other strong deodrants, as a similar thing happened when I used Drichonol!
Think Im just going to have to have botox!
hi Floss85.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My other half had a similar reaction to a deodorant like that before using perspirex. It's the high concentrate of aluminium that's in them that you react to.His looked so sore and was all red and lumpy. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
What about trying the one Pilchard suggested. i really hope this works out for you in the end. Take Care
