ummm... get like secret clinical strenth deoderant? I know that there are really strong deoderants out there, but I've never used them, I'm like an anti-sweater

try NOT wearing Deodorant.

maybe its melting in your pits

yeah, wear deodorant. it'll help. and its *sweating, by the way

Use um clinical strength deodorant.

Degree is the best it works when you start sweating its heat activated and it keeps you dry for the most part and dont be embarrassed it happens to the best of us

you have hyperhidrosis, I would sweat under my pits so bad it would soak my shirts, but i also sweated from my hands, and feet. I ended up having surgery and now I SWEAT NO MORE!!:) going on three years now.

if this is the case, then go to the browers and type in>the american institute for hyperhidrosis, inc.

they can do a simple surgery called (Endoscopic Transthoracic Sympathicotomy Procedure)

Hope this was helpful.

It sounds like you are maybe anxious to be sweating so much. Are you stressed? Is it just your armpits where the sweating is or do you feel hot and sweaty all over, even your face? There are some very strong deodorants that you can get from the pharmasist but if it's not just an underarm problem, then it might be worth speaking to your doctor about it.

I'm 20 years old, and for as long as I can remember I've sweat a lot for no reason. I can be sitting there freezing cold and my armpits still sweat. I've tried Drysol, Secret Clinical Strength, prescription deoderant, etc, and nothing has worked. I finally just decided there's nothing I can really do about it. When I was younger I thought it was just puberty and hormones out of wack, but now that I'm older, I don't know why I'm still like this. It's not like it makes me constantly smell or anything, it doesn't. It's just really annoying. I have to wear undershirts all the time so I don't soak through the armpits of the shirt people see. Nothing is sexier than pitters. LoL. Totally kidding! But they're soooooo embarrassing!!!!!! I wear a lot of layers. I wear a lot of black or white because it doesn't show as much if I only wear one shirt. Every time I'm in the bathroom I blot my pits with toilet paper. It's sooo annoying! I would keep asking my doctor about it, but the last time I mentioned anything he said I just need to lose weight. Which is hard when you're in college and don't have much time to exercise, get all sweaty, and have to take a few showers a day. So, I just layer my clothes and deal with it. The worst part is, I sweat more than my boyfriend. He's not usually grossed out unless it's like the middle of summer and we're outside in the heat and my hair's all matted and my shirt's soaked with sweat, but that's the only time he's grossed out. LoL. He loves me despite my sweating problems. We argue about the temperature all the time tho. Hahahaha! The cooler it is, the less my pits sweat. So I keep it kinda cold. He always cranks the heat because he'd rather be hot than cold. But we manage. You're young now and probably not settling down with a guy (at least I hope not!!), but if you still have the same problem when you're older like I do, you'll still find a man who loves you no matter what. The sweat isn't going to ruin your life. And trust me, you notice it way more than anyone else does (unless you constantly have pitters). If you get pitters, learn to layer your shirts. It helps tremendously! You may ruin the pits of white shirts tho...LoL. But just remember, you're not alone. There are many people out there with this problem. If you ever need to talk just email me and I'll try to help you through your rough moments. So, just hold your head high and conquer your sweat, don't let your sweat conquer you! Good luck!

I feel for you. Your problem is called hyperhidrosis. My daughter has the same problem. She got it from me. Sometimes it's heredity, and you can't do much about it. You should go see a Doctor, just to make sure your thyroid gland is functioning properly. As an overactive thyroid can cause it.
They do sell under arm pads that soak up the extra perspiration, so it doesn't ruin your clothes.
There is a new surgical procedure that stops all your glands from sweating, but I'm not sure how healthy that is. I'd hate to have to go that far.
