Are you a sweaty girl? Do you avoid overheated clubs and parties or make fashion fabric/style choices accordingly? Now you can put an end to pit stains with BOTOX injections, an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating that might be covered by your health insurance.
To spread the word, Project Runway designer Kara Saun is a spokesperson for a public health campaign called Project Sweat Free . Recently, I was invited to a press briefing where I met Kara, watched NYC dermatologist Doris Day inject botox into a woman’s armpits (she said it was painless) and heard first-hand stories about how these Botox treatments dramatically improved their quality of life.
However if you’re looking for less invasive options, policewomen, models, nurses and others in stressful professions often find long lasting sweat-stoppage with an old standby: Mitchum Solid Antiperspirant. For more severe sweating, Dr. Day recommends CertainDri , an OTC antiperspirant that offers 72 Hour Protection, or Drysol, a prescription antiperspirant you wear at night and wash off in the morning.
Some dermatologist are using Botox injections “off label” to treat excessively sweaty hands and/or feet. Sounds strange? Not if you consider that moist palms make for a socially offensive handshake and damp sweaty feet lead to seriously offensive foot/shoe odor and related skin problems.
Well, Botox certainly seems to be a sweat-stopping breakthrough for perpetual perspirers Â… when conventional treatments arenÂ’t effective. But NYC dermatologist Deborah Sarnoff cautions that if your problem is more body odor than sweat related, even Botox wonÂ’t solve it. The pro says to up your hygiene efforts (if your skin and clothing are bacteria free they wonÂ’t be so odor-breeding).
To do: keep your underarms fuzz-free, shower daily with antibacterial soap, apply antiperspirant after showering and wear only freshly laundered bras and clothing. If youÂ’re prone to smelling stinky, wearing a seemingly spotless garment that hasnÂ’t been laundered is likely to stimulate bacterial growth that leads to smelly pits. If some clothing retains odor despite laundering, pre-soak the pits with laundry stain remover; when in doubt, toss the garment out.
Are there any awesome sweat solutions youÂ’d like to share with us? If so weÂ’d love to hear about them.

Drysol. Get it from dermatologist only. burns a little first few times—don’t use more than a dab all over armpit—more is not better and you will give up on it if you don’t follow directions and use sparingly because the burn otherwise hurts a lot. can itch a bit the first few nights (and yes, you apply at night) but that goes away. eventually, you probably won’t need to use it all the time. this was the one curse of my life—all through high school i was miserable because i couldn’t wear things other girls did. this solved it in two days and i am sorry i did not know about it then.
There’s something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is…
1. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket
2. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water
3. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve a bit.
4. soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl.
Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow.
Don’t just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you’ll see great results.
If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily.

Help im sixteen, and i have had hyperhidration for three years now im not overweight im actually quite the opersite. I want to know wat the best treatment is for this.
Sweating can also be exacerbated by how the body deals with, also know as the fight or flight response.
Relaxation techniques like deep breathing can help reduce the stress in difficult situations.
It’s a very cruel blow that stress can causes the initial sweat problem, then anxiety about the excess persipiration causes yet more sweating – fortunately there’s more information out there to help people.
The BBC news site reported last month that the British National Health Service is using laser treatment to blast sweat glands for sufferers with particularly acute problems.
