How do I keep my armpits from sweating so much?

As long as your temperature is within normal range: you might have a medical condition known as hyperhydrosis; this is a disorder of the sweat glands. If anti-perspirants never help, and you sweat excessively, whatever the surrounding temperature, then it is more likely that you have this. Talk to your doctor about aluminium (aluminum) salts and localized neuromuscular blocking injections. For severe cases of hyperhydrosis, there are surgical procedures, which involve the severing of the nerves which control the sweat glands in the effected area/s. My advice is to see your doctor anyway, just to rule out any other medical cause.

Try the arm and hammer anti-persp. it's like 1.98 - it works

Use a stick anti-persp. instead of aerosol. Try a clinical strength one.

Hyperhidrosis is a fairly common disorder shared by millions across the world. By definition, Hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the head, face, hands, feet and armpits no matter the temperature or conditions. The sweating is erratic, unpredictable and uncontrollable. You do have some options. To stop the excessive sweating try: 1. Drysol Drysol is a prescription deodorant that works wonders for underarm, hand and foot sweating. Apply it to your hands, feet, armpits or anywhere else you sweat at night before bed. You only need to apply it once a day - it's not like regular deodorant. This stuff is Clinical Strength. Beware of irritation with Drysol. You may have to take a day or two off from this treatment if your skin gets too dry, sensative or red with a rash. 2. Drink more water to lower your body temperature. A lot of people are confused by this solution. They think if they drink more water, it will give them that much more fluid to sweat out. This is totally incorrect. Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating. Of course now you'll need to worry about all those bathroom breaks. :) 3. Drink Green Tea or Sage Tea at night Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moister from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out. In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat. By the way, that odor is caused by bacteria that treats your sweat as a breeding ground. Gross! 4. Try Certain Dri (non-prescription deodorant) You can buy this one at most pharmacies. Certain dry is a little less abrasive than Drysol so you won't need to worry as much about irritation. It is however a little less strong. You'll want to gauge your level of Hyperhidrosis by first trying Certain Dri. If your sweating continues, upgrade to Drysol and that should do the trick. 5. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine Don't underestimate the power of your diet. Onions, Garlic, Curry, Coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits and see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating. Changing your diet will really cut out the spontaneous sweating from your daily lunch breaks. 6. Try Iontophoresis treatments. This is more of a phase 3 solution. Try the clinical deodorants and diet fixes first. However, there is a treatment called Iontophoresis where you place your hands and feet into bowls or plates. The plates are filled with mineral water. Connected to the plates is an Iontophoresis electromagnetic device. Gentle electic pulses are distributed through mineral water. The minerals bond and temporarily change the nature of your sweat pores to block the sweat. This treatment works well. You can learn about it through the Source link I've provided below. 7. Try a Sage Tea Soak There's something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is... a. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket b. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water c. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve a bit. d. soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl. Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow. Don't just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you'll see great results. If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily. 8. ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery) If the sweating is bad enough, some people will opt towards ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery). This is, however, a LAST resort. I recommend you try everything else possible before opting towards surgery. You can speak with your Dermatologist to find out more.

Use talc powder under your arms. The powder physically blocks the sweat ducts to stop the sweat from coming out You could also try washing them in an anti-septic solution to kill the bacteria as the bacteria are at fault for the smell!

That used to happen to me and i got this stuff from the grocery store called "Certain Dri." You put it on at night and it really itches and kind of burns, but then all day long it keeps you from sweating - it actually works! But make sure you only put on how much they tell you to, because I used to always use way more and then i built up a resistance to it and it didn't work at all.

shave them ive been doing it for 8 years

The healthier or more muscular the body, the less it needs to sweat (or to be technical, you need to use your body more to get it to sweat), so if you're overweight, losing some would help, if you're skin and bones, work on getting some good sized muscles, doesn't have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger sized, just enough to not be skinny.
