What kind of anti-perspirant has NO SCENT WHATSOEVER?!


Question:

What kind of anti-perspirant has NO SCENT WHATSOEVER?

I have sweaty palms. My school papers got messed up all the time (and I think my sweaty hands cause the corners to curl inward). I can't do much without my hands if I put on anti-perspirant though(I'm afraid to get my hands near my mouth and when I want to eat). Besides, even though the anti-perspirant says it's unscented, it always has a perculiar smell. My hands are mostly warm and moist during the day. I don't know what to do about my sweaty hands(Parents don't let me do surgery for these things unless its a really bad "emergency" like my hands are dripping like crazy with sweat). Most of the time, my sweaty hands are just annoying, but sometimes, when my hands are dirty, the sweat kinda cleans my hands for me...(that last part was random^^)


Answers:

I don't know if your parents would be opposed to this but they can do treatments in your dermatologists office. There is a treatment called iontophoresis, Iontophoresis uses a simple device to treat excessive sweating of the hands and feet. It is particularly useful for people who’ve tried prescription strength antiperspirants but find that they need a stronger treatment. Used correctly and adjusted to individual situations, iontophoresis has proven to have a very high success rate (83% according the American Academy of Dermatology) for people with sweaty palms and sweaty feet.
Iontophoresis uses water to conduct a mild electrical current through the skin’s surface. It’s not entirely understood how or why iontophoresis works, but it’s believed that the electric current and mineral particles in the water work together to microscopically thicken the outer layer of the skin, which blocks the flow of sweat to the skin’s surface. Once this sweat output is blocked or interrupted, sweat production on the palms and soles is, often suddenly and dramatically, ”turned off.
If that doesn't work you also have the option of botox injections.
These are both usually covered by most major insurance companies and patient is responsible for any copays and deductibles.
