Sweating!..............Is there a cure?

I'm one of those people who sweat at the wiff of a Polo mint so the recent hot spell has been murder. Anti-perspirants do not work on me, so does anyone have any ideas of what I can use, herbal remedy etc, so I don't always look like someone has chucked a bucket of water over me?
Sweating!..............Is there a cure?
i hear if you scrape your skin off with a shovel, you no longer sweat...
Sweating!..............Is there a cure?
DRINK MORE WATER
Reply:it's the body's natural defense system against heat. So there's no cure. Just shower regularly and use extra-strong anti-perspirant if it exists
Reply:Shower everyday and use talcum powder when you get out. Plus anti-perspirant (it must at least help a little). If that doesn't work go to your doctor he'll be able to suggest something.
Reply:yea, I think theres an op you can have, in the U%26gt;S%26gt;A of course, the sweat glands are somehow removed
Reply:loose weight
Reply:i've heard having botox injected in your sweat glands stops you sweating


its sounds drastic but stops you sweating completely and is well worth it
Reply:Get in the bath , phooooo?
Reply:Sweating if your bodys natural way or cooling down. Maybe keep in the shade, drink lots of water.. generally just try and stay cool.





if not, see a dermatologist*, the people who specialise in skin. You could probably get an appointment with one by asking your doctor.





*I think its dermatologist anyway... Sorry if it isnt.
Reply:For a start, you are supposed to sweat when you are hot. However, the greater the humidity, the more you sweat. It's been more humid in the latter part of the hot spell than at the beginning. If you try any treatment to prevent sweating you will not cool off so quickly.


The main thing is to wear loose clothing. Avoid any tightness anywhere. This wide sleeves are better. Boxer shorts are better.


Sandals are better with no socks.
Reply:if you have an office job, try fixing a small fan to your desk.... you could alway carry around a small bottle of water with a mist attatchment and spray your face and neck or body with that for a quick, refreshing cool down. Alway wear anti-perspirants, even if they dont work for you, they still help with any smells! Wear light and airy, cotton clothes..... not much else i can suggest.
Reply:Get a job in the arctic, never sweat again!
Reply:There are deodourants and there are Anti-perspirants.


Anti-perspirants block the sweat glands so you should stay dry, try the sport version from Sure
Reply:Excessive sweating can be a medical problem, check out this site for more info. Alternatively your doctor should be able to help.

Reply:stick tissue under your armpits....get those implants under your arms and they stop you sweating.... go and live in the north pole until the weather is over.... walk around Naked :P





Roll in dirt.... see if the office will let you work in a swimming pool.... he he he he he he he he he he





Go see DR Spoc.... hmmmmmm at least try one of these lol
Reply:Its not natural, really, but botox can be used to stop excessive sweating. Your body rids itself of toxins and controls body temperature with sweat, so I would leave it alone, maybe carry a sweat towel.





On April 15, 2002, the FDA announced the approval of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX Cosmetic) to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). BTX-A has also been approved for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating.
Reply:You have to see your doctor and ask to prescribe you drysol. Make sure you apply it on at night and follow directions.If you can't get it, try CertainDri, almost as good as Drysol. Any good drugstore should have it.





And one more thing......I don't know how serious it is, but BOTOX is now FDA approved (or whomever) to treat sweaty hands/feet/pits. Most insurance will not cover it, but some do.
Reply:it is possible to train your body to not sweat as much.





I know a guy who did a trek to the north pole in 2000 and he spent 6 months training his body to not sweat by walking up and down mountains pulling a fully loadd sled whilst wearing a string vest.





The reason was that in the arctic, if you sweat when you have your gear on, it freezes onto your skin and potentially kill you.





How this helps I don't know but it certainly proves that it is possible. Dunno about hot weather either, I've been having 2 showers a day in the past week, totally unbearable!
Reply:I saw something on TV where someone had hyperhydrosis like you. She went to the DR and had minor surgery (a small slice aboout 2 inches) and they clamped a nerve in her arm and the sweating stopped within minutes. Have you tried that stuff called Certain-Dri? You put it on at every nite at bedtime. Don't shave before because it burns like a Be-atch. It will help with the sweating if used correctly.
Reply:Use a thing called "driclor" or "anhydrol forte". you put it on before bed and then wash off in the morning and apply your normal deodaurant, you should notice a big difference in the amount you sweat after a while
Reply:bitter lemon or tonic water contain quinine and thatll stop you sweatin a bit
Reply:our body needs to sweat or you would over hat and become ill as long as you shower regularly and change clothes you should be fine
Reply:you may have that one thing


you can get it fixed


go to a doctor


easily treated
Reply:Dave, a common problem. You do not indicate your weight which could be a factor. I do not believe in many of the drastic suggestions in some of these answers - a natural course of action is preferable - at least initially to see if it helps.


Loose clothing will allow more air to circulate across your skin and reduce perspiration by evaporation. The material of your clothing can make a difference too - light cotton materials are the best, man-made fibres the worst. Avoid plastics such as in trainers and belts - leather is best for the latter, and either leather shoes or cotton-material casuals (loafers).


Avoid using aftershave or perfumed products on the skin. Avoid drinking alcohol or carbonated drinks - the body's natural reaction to foreign 'bodies' such as these is to excrete them via the liver or through the SKIN.


Remember, everybody sweats (ladies perspire!) its a natural bodily function. In hot humid summers, we all sweat more. If you believe there is more to it than that, have a chat with your doctor - he may be able to offer some medical advice. If you have a weight problem you should consider reducing your weight, but some people do have a medical problem of sweating that can be treated successfully - without surgery! So don't worry about the problem as stress will exacerbate it - just see your doc.
