What Is Infliximab Disease?

im a 16 year old girl and about 7 months ago i started having problems with sweating. i had never even thought about it before because it had never been a problem for me, but suddenly i started getting a bit of wetness under my arms and smelling. i started using a stronger antiperspirant deodorant which mostly controlled the wetness but not the smell. whenever i have read online about people with sweating problems they have talked about being absolutely soaked in sweat, but mine isnt like that, ive never had sweat patches. it is just as if iv forgotten to put deodorant on. is it possible my body has just stopped responding to a chemical in the deodorants? this started about the same time i started getting a new treatment for my crohns disease called infliximab. is it possible my body could be reacting to this drug? it has been making me feel so low and i just feel like theres no answers out there. please help me get my old life back

Hi User! It may be considered normal for one to have sweating in the armpit area to the extent that it makes the cloth over the area wet. It is the area where the concentration of sweat glands are higher than the other regions in the body. One may try any good ANTIPERSPIRANT OR DEODORANT, DECREASING THE WATER INTAKE FEW HOURS BEFORE THE TIME THAT CONCERNS YOU OF SWEATING keeping in mind that the overall water intake shouldn't be decreased in a day as that may cause lethargy and dehydration. Infliximab is usually not known to cause the side effect of excessive sweating from the armpit. The sweating may have increased in last few months as at around the age of 15 or 16 years various organs matures completely. I believe it may be considered normal and adjusting with in various ways may be ideal. Many may come across this problem and it may be considered normal if no other complaints are associated.
