Sweating is our body's natural cooling mechanism. A normal, healthy person sweats when he is hot, when he is at work, or when he is under stress. Sweat stains on clothes not only look ugly, but also smell bad! If you sweat more than other people, there is a significant chance that you have hyperhidrosis. However, there are several ways to minimize perspiration, moisture and odor. Read this article and you will learn how to deal with sweaty armpits.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Reducing Sweat

1. 1 Use a strong antiperspirant. Antiperspirant ingredients mix with sweat to clog pores, preventing perspiration. Antiperspirants are available at almost all pharmacies. The active ingredient in antiperspirants is aluminum chloride. However, each antiperspirant has its own special formula. You may have to try several options before you find the remedy that works for you.
   • For best results, apply an antiperspirant at night, on dry skin.
   • Even all "natural" antiperspirants contain aluminum, so you are unlikely to have to avoid this active ingredient. However, antiperspirant contains other ingredients, so pay attention to the composition of the product you choose.
   • Unlike antiperspirants, deodorants do not reduce sweating. The principle of action of any deodorant is to eliminate odor, while sweat continues to be released in the same volume. Antiperspirants work to eliminate excess perspiration - this is their main difference from deodorants. Therefore, when choosing a remedy for sweat, take into account this significant difference.
2. 2 Consult your doctor. If antiperspirants aren't working for you, there are a number of other treatment options for hyperhidrosis. Check with your doctor about this.
   • Give preference to strong antiperspirants.
   • However, there is a new procedure that allows you to stop the production of sweat by removing the sweat glands using the energy of microwaves.
   • Of the many ways to combat hyperhidrosis, Botox injections into the armpits are distinguished.
3. 3 Avoid sweating foods. Sometimes what we eat and drink can affect sweating. Avoid spicy foods; caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods can also cause hyperhidrosis. Sweating may occur after taking too much (or even a small amount if the person is sensitive) niacin. Hot drinks can raise your body temperature, which in turn can lead to sweating.
   • Don't eliminate water from your diet to prevent sweating! Your body needs water to function properly. Drinking plenty of water can reduce sweating. This is due to the cooling of the body. It also affects the smell of sweat. Therefore, drink enough water for normal sweating.
4. 4 Try to reduce your stress levels. If you sweat a lot when you're nervous, chances are you should consult with a therapist, as this could be a symptom of an anxiety disorder. You can apply the advice in this article, as well as follow the advice of your doctor. In addition to treating symptoms of sweating, your doctor may suggest medical and / or behavioral treatments to help you manage your anxiety.

Part 2 of 2: Treating Sweaty Armpits

1. 1 Wear protective armpit pads. If you're having trouble getting rid of excessive sweating, underarm pads are a great way to protect your clothing from yellow spots. These absorbent pads absorb excess moisture; some also remove unpleasant odors. Protective pads also have other names: armpits, armpit sweat pads, armpit pads, and so on. Some are attached directly to clothing or leather, while others are attached to clothing with special straps. There are pads for single use and reusable use.
   • Armpit pads are available from many online retailers. You can also find them in men's clothing and lingerie stores.
   • You can even make your own linings.
2. 2 Do not wear clothing made from fabrics that do not breathe. Certain fabrics, namely silk, polyester, rayon, nylon, are likely to exacerbate your problem. Give preference to clothing made of cotton, linen, wool.
3. 3 Wear items of clothing that will not show sweat stains. If you know you have such a problem, choose appropriate clothing. Wear a tank top under a blouse or shirt, or wear multiple layers of clothing. This will help you hide sweat stains. For example, you can wear a vest over a shirt to cover sweat stains. Put on a lightweight blazer over a T-shirt or blouse and others are unlikely to notice your problem.
   • Sweat stains are usually more visible on light colored clothing, so avoid wearing light colored blouses if you are prone to sweating.
4. 4 Purchase antiperspirant thermal underwear. Modern science offers clothes made of high-tech materials for such cases. Thermal underwear for men and women perfectly absorbs excess moisture and prevents the spread of unpleasant odors. Also, when choosing clothes, pay attention to the fabric from which they are made. Choose clothing that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable with unpleasant yellow spots.
   • You can purchase antiperspirant thermal underwear in the store or order online.
