Hyperhidrosis Underarm Sweating Cure Now Within Reach

Posted on January 27, 2011 by admin

Have you found the underarm sweating cure yet? No? Maybe you’re not looking in the right place. Some people mistakenly believe that the answer to their excessive sweating problem can be found on the drug store shelves, in spray cans and roll-on containers of clinical strength anti-perspirants. Some people consider that the answer to their problem is to take more frequent showers, that cleanliness is the key to the cure. Some people aren’t looking for the cure at all, because they’re content with changing their clothes half a dozen times a day (these people are easy to spot in the store – they’re the ones buying 6 of an identical shirt or blouse so that no one will know that they’ve changed).

Non-Surgical Management of Your Underarm Hyperhidrosis

Posted on October 1, 2010 by admin

Have you ever considered the so-called muscle relaxing injections to manage your underarm sweating? If not, you may have just found your solution to axillary hyperhidrosis, a condition that you’re probably all too familiar with.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessively sweaty armpits. Everyone sweats; that’s a fact of life. It is how the body cools down and maintains a normal temperature. Certain external factors contribute to increases in sweating – the foods you eat, the amount of stress you are under, the weather conditions – but for people not afflicted, a regular underarm anti-perspirant is perfectly adequate.

Unfortunately, for individuals with axillary hyperhidrosis. Even more unfortunate, for these individuals, a simple anti-perspirant is wholly inadequate; even in a prescription-strength anti-perspirant, these temporary measures all fail to provide relief for any length of time.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis – What Is It?

Posted on August 16, 2010 by admin

People with axillary hyperhidrosis will decline an invitation to get comfortable and take their jacket off. They will be the ones who’d rather give you a little finger wave than a great big arm over the top of the head swing. They are the ones who won’t raise their hands, even if only they know the answer. They will be the ones who feel ill at ease in social settings, constantly worrying about offending anyone.

Most people who have this excessive underarm sweating problem usually start to see the signs of it in early adolescence. Then comes along puberty, when the problem tends to get much worse.

Interestingly though, medical research has not found any evidence of hormonal surges being the culprit. Continue reading →

Excessive Underarm Sweating – What Really Works?

Posted on August 15, 2010 by admin

If you are a sufferer of excessive underarm sweating – otherwise known as axillary hyperhydrosis, your first port of call was probably to try every regular off-the-shelf deodorant and antiperspirant you could get your hands on. They didn’t work very well, maybe for an hour or so, but then you’d burn through the effectiveness. Then, you might have considered the more heavy-duty products containing aluminium chloride, which might work if your problem is on the mild side.

Diet

You may have been told to try changing your diet, with the goal to eliminate foods and drinks that contain caffeine, which make sweating worse. Sure, you may have seen a tiny bit of improvement, but the trade-off – no tea, coffee, cola or chocolate – well, for some people, giving up those favourites, that is a fate worse than death (or sweating).

Sweat Shields

Some individuals buy or make sweat shields to absorb the excess sweat; the shields are either disposable or washable, and are worn under clothing, and attached either by an adhesive backing (for the disposable kind) or can be pinned in (for the washable kind). That’s a great idea, but only if you’re wearing something with sleeves; sweat shields would just look plain weird under a sleeveless shirt or blouse.
