armpits

Hey. I'm a 15 year old female who has an embarrassing problem-my armpits. I've tried basically all the deoderants from Secret to Suave, to Degree(women and men), to AridXXdry, to Michum,and many more. I can't seem to do anything. The least of movement turns into a musty end. This problem forced me to quit basketball, and I stay away from social events like football games or any other place around people. I'm even embarrassed to go to church. I've heard of Botox for excessive sweating, but that's not the problem. Is there anyone whose had this problem? What can I do? HELP PLEASE
Do you think it's normal?

could be your clothes have been sweated in so much? wash them soon after you take em off helps. (buy new ones first!).

also, shower daily but wash your armpits one other time, say morning or night.

wear cotton or linen.
You could also try under-arm dress shields.

I wouldn't worry about it for long. When I was your age I was super sweaty all the time, and almost nothing helped. Now I'm better. Try Certain-Dri, put it on at night and in morning.
From what you describe it sounds like you made a lot of effort to control it and nothing has effectively worked. Please schedule an appointment with a doctor and ask to be referred to a specialist or seek out a specialist who treats this condition. Offhand, I'm not sure what type of doctor specializes in this area. The below link has a lot of information clearly explained about hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Quitting a basketball team and avoiding social situations is no small deal, it is affecting your life and need not be with some outside help. There is no shame in seeking help to deal with it. A responsible adult would do so too, so don't be shy about speaking to a doctor. That is their purpose, to help people, regardless of the condition. Good luck, I'm sure you will be fine and please copy and paste the below link.

DUUUUDEEEEE

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS!

you have auxirally hyper hydrosis. It is a common condition which translates as an overactive sweat gland.
There is no cure for it but don't worry, it shouldn't smell too bad. I have 2 friends with it male and female, and the girl is hot and has loads of interest

dont feel bad
there is a special perscription deodarent with a special chemical that can help keep you from sweating you should talk to your doctor about it good luck and don't let this stop you from playing basketball :D
are you french?
That must be a really horrible thing to have to live with. If you are a teenager its probably just that your body is really mixed up at the moment so its sweating excessively. Try carrying a deodrant with you at all times. Whenever you start to smell just apply more. And make sure you are washing every day- especially in the morning.
I have the smae problem but I don't think mine is that bad. In the winter I'm usually fine because it's cold. But even just sitting in class or something causes me to sweat and it's embarassing. I guess I'll try that Certain-Dri that those other people are talking about. Don't feel weird about it because I have a similar situation. Good luck!
Trim your underarm hair, this could help with the stink and sweating.
