Used to have it under my arms really bad for years. It would be 0 degrees outside and I'd sweat through all my shirts. It was awful! I picked up some certain dri and haven't had any issues since then. For the record, I have extremely sensitive skin. I'm allergic to fluoride, petrolatum, most stuff in makeup, and a huge list of other ingredients and this stuff didn't bother my skin at all.

i also have sensitive skin. I tried a "natural" antiperspirent and ended up getting a rash. back to store-bought ones with ingrediants I couldn't pronounce. my armpits don't sweat that much unless I'm stressed. but my underboobs...i think they only stop sweating at night!

[bubbiexo]

Yeah the natural deodorants really don't do much. That really sucks! I know how embarrassing it is, too. It's almost impossible to wear anything other than black. Have you seen a doctor yet? I would hope they could help at least

[Asker]

not yet but I have an appt coming up.

[bubbiexo]

Good luck, girl!

[Asker]

thanks :)

Mines REALLY bad under my boobs as well. :(

Also my hands, and feet...and my butt too(which is kinda weird)

[Asker]

i sweat through a shirt earlier this week from my underboobs. thank god I was at home! and all I was doing was surfing the net. I'd say second woud be my feet.

[wappawappa222]

Yeah under my boobs gets so bad though. My mom even has the same problem. Its really really annoying and makes me self conscious because then its starts to smell...which is gross. :(

[Asker]

mine doesn't smell unless your nose is pressed against the shirt. and it can be hereditary, but I think mine is medication related seeing as it just started recently, shortly after I was put on a new med.

[wappawappa222]

Yeah I haven't always had it, it just randomly came like a year ago, and I ve had it since. I haven't had any changes in diet, or not taking any new medications. So who knows? :( The struggle of being a girl :( haha

My head especially around my hairline as well as my neck are the worst. My back too. I've learnt to live with it. probably get some botox one day

[Asker]

i sweat through a shirt yesterday, from my underboobs. I can't live with it if that continues to happen. it's embarrasing. I've tried powder but it doesn't help, it just mixes with the sweat and makes zits.

[TedStar]

Have you tried antiperspirants from a pharmacy

[Asker]

i'm kinda leery about doing that. I'm afraid I'll get some sort of reaction. but I'll do more research on it.

[TedStar]

Yeah. Just see a doctor to find the cause. A specialist isn't too necessary

You will have to find a dermatologist. When I was going through puberty I had it under my armpits but I do not anymore. You will need a product with Aluminum chloride hexahydrate in it.
