Excessive Sweating, Sweat Patches Causing A Feeling Of Inferiority. What Is The Appropriate Treatment?

Hello i am 16 and i have a extreme problem of sweating excessively under my armpits. I have had it for a long time over 3+ years and never really told anyone it has held me back in a lot of things including school and now i am at college and i thought it would have disappeared by now thinking it was a hormonal problem. I am moderately health i don t exercise a lot but the case started when i was in school when i was doing fitness everyday running loads so i don t think that is the problem. I have never seen the doctors but i have tried lots of things like deodorants. I wash regually and never smell its just the embarrassment of sweat patches . My parents are pushing me to get a job and i will not be able to do much with this problem as i would be unhygienic. As having it for i while i think i know what is causing it. I normally sweat when i am at college or on my own without my family it happens when i am on my own it may be because i don t have confidence of not feel relaxed ect. I don t know if i have explained enough to help i think i am dragging on as it is i would love it to stop due to the limitations it has brought to my life thank you.

Hi, Your problem of hyperhydrosis in arm pits can be solved very well. First thing you do: Find out Zinc Sulphate powder (ZnSO4) from any chemistry Store & start using it after desolving one tea spoon in 100 ml of water to wash your arm pits during bath. Secondly find out a Aesthetic or Cosmetic Surgeon who is having I P L Laser machine. This problem can be cured permanently by IPL Laser Treatment.
Wishing you a good health.
