My underarms sweat a lot

Sweat glands can be overactive in the underarms even when the body does not need cooling. Stress, heat, activity, hormonal changes, medicines, infection, or another medical condition can also increase sweating. Note whether both underarms are affected, whether symptoms began recently, and whether sweating occurs during sleep. Skin that stays damp may become sore, irritated, or more prone to odour.

Use an antiperspirant rather than deodorant alone, applying it to completely dry skin as directed. Breathable clothing and changing damp garments can reduce rubbing. Avoid applying strong products to broken or freshly shaved skin. A clinician can discuss Prescription Antiperspirant, Botox For Sweating, or Microwave Sweat Gland Treatment when daily measures are insufficient. The choice depends on severity, skin sensitivity, medical history, and preference.

Arrange assessment if sweating is new, suddenly worse, occurs during sleep, or comes with fever, weight change, palpitations, chest discomfort, breathlessness, dizziness, or fainting. Seek urgent help for chest pain, severe breathlessness, or collapse. Persistent dampness with cracking, rash, or infection also merits review.

Ask whether your pattern fits Excessive Sweating or has another trigger. Discuss medicines and health conditions that should be checked, how to use Prescription Antiperspirant safely, and whether Botox For Sweating or Microwave Sweat Gland Treatment suits your goals.
