I agree with the second poster. The product I used was called Drysol, but I am sure it is the same thing. It used to be available by perscription only, but can now be bought on the internet for around $20 for two bottles. Do a search for Drysol and you should find the product. It does contain a concentrated dose of aluminum, but it will dry you right up. I used to have a sweating problem very bad, would sweat standing in a freezer, but the Drysol took care of it. Good luck.

Okaaayyy... First of all CHILL! Take a step back and look at your lifestyle. A big factor for sweating is your diet and overall health. Instead of trying to fix a problem like this with medication first try and become a fitter person.

However, understandably this is a sensitive issue, it's medical term is 'Hyperhidrosis'. You're best talking to your GP who will refer you to a dermatologist/dermatology nurse.

In the mean time:

>Wear loose T-Shirts/Shirts
>Shave armpits
>Increase fluid intake
>Increase exercise
>Eat a balanced diet
>Use Dryclor (Aluminium chloride (Dryclor) is an antiperspirant that is commonly used to treat hyperhidrosis. It works by plugging up the sweat glands)

Try it for 1-2weeks, you will be able to see a difference

Advice doesn't work?!

Last resort...The Dematologist/Dermatology nurse will be able to inject Botox into your arm pits and this will alleviate most if not all of the sweating!

Good luck!!

Use anti-perspirant deodorant or roll on. Should help the sweating problem for you.
