I hate even admitting or talking about this but lately ive had such a HUGE problem with excessive sweating under my right arm. when i workout yes, i sweat massivly bad under this one arm.. its not bad at all on my left arm but just under this one arm? even when im not working out, I def perspirate more than normal under this one arm and i never had this problem before. it seems since i have started my lifestyle of working out all the time that i really started noticing this. the only thing that seems so weird to me is that its just under my right arm and not really the other arm and i find that so odd.. its not just a lil "normal" sweat I feel it is wayyy too much..! literally, where its is totally noticable. i have no idea what to do or what to try to help this problem. I have tryed so many diff deoderants and nothing seems to really help this problem that ive been having.. i just was curious if this is happening w anybody else or if any of you have any suggestions?

    I had to change deoderants recently. I have used the same one for years and since we changed our eating habbits, I noticed my deorderant wasn't working, my problem was with odor though.I thought it was weird because I was drinking more water. I change my deorderant and now I'm all better. No more smelliness! You may want to speak with your doctor to see what could cause a problem like that.

    Talk to your doc about it, she can prescribe something called Dry Sol, it is an anti persperant you put on at night. After using for a couple weeks it will dry it up. Don't use on freshly shaved pits though!

    Are you using deodorant or antiperspirant, some people don't know there is a difference

    there's also Certain Dri, another one you put on at night. It used to a a prescription years ago but you can find it at walmart and other pharmacies-or order it on-line. I have an unfortunate sweating problem i got from my dads side of the family but this a (social) life saver!

    I got a prescription deodorant for my wedding. Works great. Forget the name---this was almost 6 years ago.

    You could try Dricor, I'm not sure if its available internationally but i know it is in Australia.
    Its usually around $20 for a bottle and can be purchased at any pharmacy/chemist.
    it works really well!

    sounds like over active sweat glands.. its common in men...
    go to a derm and they will use botox... yes botox and it will slow/stop the sweating for up to 6 months
    most insurance will cover it as long as what do u have is over active sweat glands and prescriptions dont help

    I have always had problem with excessive sweating too and I starting using mens deordant and it worked great ,now i never have to worry ,I would have to say its kind of embarrassing but hey at least I dont have to do Botox and you would have to keep getting it done every so many months.

    i also believe Degree and Secret make "clinical strength' deodorants as well.
