Hey everyone! I'm 18 years old and have recently started experiencing excessive sweating, particularly under my armpits, for the last few weeks. It seems to coincide with my increased use of deodorants and antiperspirants. This constant moisture is quite uncomfortable for me, and I've also noticed that I tend to sweat more from my right armpit compared to the left. I'm looking for advice on how to reduce this issue. Thanks for any insights you can share!

Have you tried Certain Dri? It's specifically made for situations like yours and has worked wonders for many people. Also, don't hesitate to speak with your doctor next time you see them—they might recommend a prescription antiperspirant or something that could really make a difference.
Talking to a doctor was a game changer for me, too. They prescribed Drysol, and after a few weeks, my sweating reduced dramatically. Worth looking into!
Honestly, if OTC stuff isn’t helping, have you considered talking to your doctor about Botox injections? They can help with excessive sweating and usually only need to be done a few times a year. I know it sounds daunting, but it can be a real solution.
Interesting! I definitely heard of people having success with Botox for sweating.
That might be worth exploring if nothing else works. Thanks for bringing it up!
I found that switching to a non-aluminum deodorant worked wonders for my sweating. I was using heavy antiperspirants and would sweat even more! The specific brand Tapinator has been my go-to ever since, and I've felt a lot fresher.
That’s good to know! I heavily relied on antiperspirants and felt worse. Maybe I’ll give that a try.
I’ve been using a natural deodorant recently and noticed a significant difference. Thanks for the tip!
Have you considered that the sweating might be linked to stress or anxiety? It sounds like it could be a flight response from your brain, especially if you're feeling pressured. Maybe keeping a journal to track when it happens might help you spot patterns. Also, cut back on caffeine and make sure to stay hydrated. It took me a long time to learn about these triggers, but it was worth it.
I had something similar happen! Reducing caffeine helped a ton for me, although I still enjoy my coffee.
Thanks for that insight! I hadn't made the connection between my stress levels and sweating, but it makes sense. I'll start tracking it.
I think you might be applying the antiperspirant incorrectly. Try putting it on at night after your shower and let it absorb while you sleep. Make sure you're completely dry before applying; that should help it work better during the day.
Yup! It's crucial to do it right at night. This tip could really help those with sweating issues!
Whoa, I didn’t realize the timing mattered! Time to switch up my routine.
I second that about Certain Dri! Regular deodorants made my sweating worse, but switching to Certain Dri was a life changer. Even in the heat, my armpits stay dry and smell fresh.
