Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am only fourteen years old, female, rarely workout but 105lbs and 5 2 feet. I have an excessive sweating problem in my underarms. I cannot figure out why! It will occur all times of the day even if I am not hot or in some task. Its so embarrassing, and it produces a strong odor too. Do you think there is any cure to help with this?
The easiest way to tackle excessive sweating is with an antiperspirant, which most people already use on a daily basis. Antiperspirants contain aluminum salts. When you roll them onto your skin, antiperspirants form a plug that blocks perspiration.
You can buy an antiperspirant over the counter at your local supermarket or drug store, or your doctor can prescribe one for you. Over-the-counter antiperspirants may be less irritating than prescription antiperspirants. Start with an over-the-counter brand, and if that doesn't work, see your dermatologist for a prescription.
Many antiperspirants are sold combined with a deodorant, which won't stop you from sweating but will control the odor from your sweat.
