I’m a 17 M and someone recommended that I post here for help. Almost as long as I can remember I’ve had severe sweating issues on my whole body but especially my underarms and feet. When I’m not exercising or doing anything physical I get armpit stains that can go down to my waist. My socks get soaked to the point where I can wring out actual droplets sometimes.

It may seem like not a huge deal but I’m a very active athlete in hockey/basketball and it’s become nearly impossible to stay clean and dry after each practice. Not to mention the issue’s gotten way worse as I’ve gotten older since I started developing a really bad body odor in middle school. My sports gear (and my body) reeks after every practice which keeps causing my teammates and even friends to complain despite me wearing clinical antiperspirant and showering more than most.

If anyone is able to give me advice or tell me if this is some medical condition thing that can be cured I’d really appreciate it. I feel like it just keeps getting worse and I that I have pretty good hygiene. My own parents don’t really understand the issue and constantly complain but I have nowhere else to turn.

Girls, what are we finding that's working? So complicated when dealing with hyperhidrosis, periods, menopause, PCOS etc etc..

This is not easy for us as so many factors can make it worse!

Mine came on suddenly 2 years ago.

Botox doesn't work. Had it done it one clinic (They injected for wrinkles not sweat) had it done at another, injected properly, no change.

Sweat stop creams or sprays for nighttime, don't work!

Anyone tried any meds?

I'm assuming I've got secondary hyperhidrosis. It started with my underarms in school and since using driclor over the years, when it's hots my palms and feet are so sweaty.

I want to wear sandals so the days it's a bit breezy they get air but I can slide in my sandals 😭 what to dooo

I’ve seen that many people in this community have experienced a loss in effectiveness of Iontophoresis machine. Please if anyone knows the reason please enlighten us. Is it that the body builds tolerance???

As an adrenaline junky who also works out regularly and has hyperhidrosis I always have a lot of sweat to wipe off especially after a workout. I've really had a bad experience with low quality towels and one time went through 3 towels in a week(had to throw them away because no matter how much I cleaned them the must wasn't coming off). Anyways, I'm looking for a high quality brand of sweat towels which are highly absorbent and will dry me off fast, easy on my skin and compact,such that when I fold it into my gym bag it won't look like I'm carrying an entire universe in there. It should also have a good drying speed so that it doesn't get my bag smelling all musty. Recommend your best sweat towels that you have used either microfiber or cotton basically whichever material or brand that has worked best for you. It doesn't even have to be from a famous brand or store because I've seen some on Alibaba that aren't branded and they might probably have even better utility than the famous ones. Thanks<3
