Hyperhydrosis/profuse sweating

[rara171]

Hey you guys.

I am not sure how many people suffer from sweating issues but I thought i'd share. I know it can really bring down the confidence when your light pink blouse becomes a dark magenta around the armpit area so I thought i'd put in my 2 cents for this non-glamorous issue.

Sweating a lot runs in my family so i was unfortunate enough to get those genes. I would sweat a lot with little to no activity. I'm talking pit stains comparable to lake tahoe. I tried pretty much everything i could possibly think of. I looked online and read about Drysol and thought i should try it out.
Well it works very well!:yep: I have been using it for 10+ months and haven't had a problem if I don't forget to apply it. You apply it ( it's a liquid) before bed every night when you start out, then make your own schedule as you go. I have sensitive skin and haven't had a problem, but advise you not to apply right after shaving.:nono:

You can buy it online. I purchased from ebay. Nothing ever really works for me but this did and i couldn't be happier.

I can wear light colored t-shirts now! ::runs and kicks heels::

Thanks for sharing! Summer is hell for me because my entire body is covered with sweat after being outside for 10 minutes! I'm guessing you have tried Certain Dri because that is all I use right now and it makes no difference. You have really given me hope :)

certain dri did absolutely nothing for me...just like a plethora of other products that seemed to have dissolved into nothingness when used. lol

Thanks for this post,

I too suffer from Hyperhydrosis. Feet and hands are my problem areas. About 3 years ago I had run across some center in Florida that performed surgery to go in and cut the overactive sweat gland that's causing the problem...I think they went in through both armpits if memory serves me right...I never went through with it because something didn't seem right about the whole thing(unprofesional phone screening by Dr. plus weird reception who used different voices and names each time I called)...Anywho I tired Drysol and its the truth, you do have to be very vigilant in applying it daily though.:yep:
