Gross

I always sweat excessively when I'm in situations that make me uncomfortable/nervous. It's so bad that I have to limit the colors I wear. It's embarrassing and gross. Anyone else have this problem? What do you do to stop/prevent it?(feels like Iv'e tried everything)

I do too, and I just sweat easily in general. I can't say I've found something that works 100%, but using different deodorants until I found out which deodorant worked best has at least helped. Also, I usually wear undershirts to help back sweat not seem as noticeable.

There's a condition called hyperhydrosis. Google it.

Hi Raesong, I think Sunidayz is on the right track. I am an RN and have had quite a of patients with hyperhidrosis, including a friend who worked OR! There’s an easy procedure to cut the sympathetic nerve(sympthectomy) and it has been life changing for every patient who had this done. Idk how your healthcare works, ask your Primary Doc for a referral to a Neurosurgeon or find one you like yourself and have a conversation with them about the procedure and how it can change your life! Don’t disregard this, you could be symptom free very soon. Just watch your hydration levels but that will be discussed with the surgeon! I hope it transforms your life like so many others I’ve met! Best wishes-Maggie

Try Apple Cider Vinegar as it controls personal stench by adjusting the pH dimension of the body. For the best outcomes, splash a cotton ball in apple juice vinegar until it is soaked. At that point apply it to the issue territories before going to bed.

If you want to try some different methods to control sweat read this article. This article has homemade remedies too.
