Underarm perspiration is one of the great American fear factors. We're just too scared or embarrassed to sweat because it seems so icky and unclean. So imagine what it's like for people who sweat excessively. If you're one of them, here are some of the best ways to handle excessive underarm perspiration:
Control Excessive Sweating
Sweat is the body's way to cool itself, that's why you produce sweat on hot days or when you're exercising or stressed. Take a shower everyday - more than once if you live in a hot, humid environment.
Wear clean, airy clothes made with natural and absorbent fibers such as linen or cotton. Choose loose-fitting clothes or those that aren't tight around your underarms.
Soak up the perspiration.
Another great way to handle excessive underarm perspiration is to use underarm pads or shields. These are soft pads that can be attached to your clothes' armpit area to help absorb your excess perspiration. It's very unobtrusive because it's hidden inside your shirt or dress and it's also quite comfortable.
Use a strong anti-perspirant.
Check your deodorant. If it only says 'deodorant', it means it will prevent odor but will not be good at controlling perspiration. Choose a deodorant AND anti-perspirant or just an anti-perspirant.
To use, dry your underarms thoroughly and apply the deodorant carefully. If you're excessively hairy, try to trim or shave before using your anti-perspirant to ensure that it comes in contact with your skin. If you need a really strong anti-perspirant, ask your doctor for a prescription.
Keep cool.
If it's not necessary, avoid too much physical activity, especially before important meetings, interviews or dates. Also, try to find ways to manage stress.
See your doctor.
Probably the best way to handle excessive underarm perspiration is to consult your doctor. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that can be managed and even eliminated using medical procedures such as surgery or even botox treatments.
