Hello, I am a male 18 years of age. I do not recall having any problems related to the following before the age of 12-13-14. I have sweating from armpits, sometimes back, feet and palms. Does not matter what time of year, I tried walking to school in a t-shirt (10 minute casual relaxed walk) when it was 10 degrees celcius outside, and by the time I got to school every part of my body not covered by clothing was frozen but my armpits were starting to sweat anyway. I can be totally relaxed while siting, although as soon as I start writing with one hand, that particular hand's arm pit becomes sweaty. Once I start sweating a little bit it takes at least 40 minutes for drops of sweat to stop coming out through the pores completely. During summer I wear sandals and shorts, a constant wind either dries off the sweat right away leaving no wetness or odor or keeps me cool enough not to sweat much. I drink at least 5 small waterbottles per day and take drinks of water when ever I can. I have vigorous physical activity (work out, running for 3-4 hours, judo, skiing) at least 4 times a week. During those times I sweat non stop, and I drink a lot of water before excersize. I never eat junk food because it drains my energy and thinks like a pack of chips results in some ache. When my back sweats and I am wearing a backpack or am sitting in class leaning on a chair I get some ache on my back too, in the areas where anything that touches my clothes. I am guessing in those areas my pores get blocked by what ever substances there are (Even though I take a warm/cold shower every morning). I wear clean clothes every single time, mostly because after a day my t-shirt and anything over it is 30% drenched in sweat. I do not mind sweating and I love sweating during physical exersize, but on times when I need to be in class, in a restaurant, on a date, a walk in the park, I am tired of having big wet stains in my arm pits. When I exersize often the smell dissapears but the wet stains are still there. I used to think this is some sort of nervous system malfunction more than anything else - until i did many experiments and saw that in a very relaxed state I can start swearing as long as I make my muscles work. Just sitting in a chair and leaning my head on my arm may trigger arm pit sweating. I can feel drops of sweat drip down the side of my body a few minutes into gently leaning on my arm (which is placed on a table). After a shower in the morning, I can go to a certain point in the day just fine. At that point (can be at any time of the day) if i start sweating a few drops, even if it stops, the chance of sweating exessivly again for any slightest movement such as walking greatly increases. Please doctor, instead of telling me about prescriptions, anti antiperspirants and surgery, can you recommend some ways I can: make sure that my thyroid gland is not malfunctioning, how to improve my nervous system, what supplements (such as zink and vitamin C) should intake to prevent triggering sweating easily, and in what quantities? PS: I came out of the shower before I started writing this message; my arms are resting on my table only my fingers are moving to type, I seem as calm and as relaxed/care free as I ever was, yet in these 5 minutes my armpits are already wet; no drops of sweat are dripping but the whole armpit area is wet enough to leave a clear stain on a paper towel. Thank you!
