Excessive Sweating Posted: 07-14-07 18:40pm


I have a problem where I sweat much more than I think is normal. I recently switched antiperspirants for under the arm and the switch mostly stopped the sweating there, but my hands still sweat a lot and even with light exercise, the sweat from the crotch/groin region will soak through any set of pants in 2-4 hrs. and it's extremely embarrassing. I've tried cornstarch/baby powder but it lasts less than an hour. I can deal with the hand sweating, etc but I can't stand soaked pants! Is it safe to use anti-perspirant "down there" or is there any way to stop it from being so bad? Thanks.

I have excessive underarm sweating so I finally went to the doctor and he gave me some prescription underarm medication that I use about once a week and it keeps it under control. Maybe go to your doctor and ask about it. I was really embarrassed about it but glad I did it now that I know it helps.
