Extream excess sweating

[bmxican296]

Alright I have a problem, about a month ago I started sweating a ton from my armpits and it has been continueing to this day. Never before has this happend to me and Im almost 17 and have been the same hieght of 6'3" for 2 years so I think im past puberty. It has never been this bad before and Im using the Clincal Strength antipresperant deodorent so I have no clue what is going on. Is there somthing I can do? and how long will this last?

Hi,

Just wanted to add that the condition can be exacerbated by anxiety, certain foods, alcohol and caffeine. So it will be good for you if you can avoid these.

It sounds like it might be a form of hyperhidrosis. I had the same problem and got a prescription for drysol. it burns, but works unbelieably well. After a week or so, the burning stops. However, I stopped using it after 6 months and now I don't sweat AT ALL from my arm pits. I think it deadened the nerves. I do sweat like crazy from the back of my neck with little activity. I hate it, but the Drs seem to think it is no big deal. I can be embarrassing though.
