Welcome to Excessive Sweating .org.uk
Sweating is a natural thing, however some people can sweat too much. This can be embarrassing, a nuisance and even create unpleasant body odours. Sweaty arm pits happen to everyone now and then, more so on hot days and when playing sports, but for some people a normal deodorant isn’t enough to combat sweating. Excessive sweating can be caused by diet and stress.
The most common place to sweat too much is in your underarms, though it is also common to sweat excessively from your face, hands and feet, body and intimate areas. Excessive sweating is medically called Hyperhidrosis and is easily treatable.
What can I do?
After you’ve tried different ranges of ’strong’ deodorants, become fed up of changing clothes numerous times a day or attempting to hide it without much success it is time to try a specialised treatment for hyperhidrois which will help cut down on excessive sweating. These come in the form of roll on deodorants, which you apply at night just before you are going to bed. During the night, the ingredients start to partially block sweat ducks which means the body has to send the perspiration elsewhere. The body will normally send the excess sweat to areas of the skin where it can evaporate easier or excrete it, by sending it to your kidneys.
In the morning you will need to wash to solution off and apply your deodorant as normal. Most treatments will start to work within about a week. Excessive sweating treatments are very safe, and the main ingredient (Aluminium) is not absorbed into the body which means they are safe to use, both in the short term, long term and even if pregnant.
The main 4 brands for treatment which are Odaban, Anhydrol Forte, Driclor and Perspirex. This typically focus on underarm sweating, though there are products which are also safe to use elsewhere.
You can buy these treatments without a prescription, in the same way you would buy any hygiene products. It can be a bit embarrassing to buy them in a shop, but there is no need to worry as there are discounts to be had to buying the products online!
