Sweating too much

[Katelyn6]

I sweat a lot on a daily basis. Even when I just go to school, I sweat through my shirt and I wanted to know if any other girl my age (14) has similar problems. I should add that I do wear Deodorant and it only helps me not smell.

Well, deodorants are only supposed to make you not-smell. That's exactly what deodorant means. You could try using an actual antiperspirant, but just be aware that the ones you buy from a supermarket/pharmacy are designed to be used by people who sweat a normal amount but who are doing activities that cause excess sweat.

If over the counter antiperspirants don't work, you could see a doctor.

Like Melissa said, you need to switch to antiperspirants, the most effective OTC are the clinical strength ones. But first I would check with a doctor to rule out Hyperhidrosis.

Can't say I have this problem. In fact I barely sweat even when playing sports.

My friend sweats alot. I'll ask her, but I am sure she's seen a doctor for this.

I would try an antiperspirant first. I mean if you're doing a lot of exercise it's normal to sweat a lot, but if you start sweating heavily while you're not doing anything, I would have it checked out by a doctor. It could be a number of reasons.

Antiperspirants are you best friends in this case.. oh, do I know that after volleyball practices lol

There are anti-perspirate on the market that take care of odor as well as excessive sweat but it its as bad as you say maybe you should see a doctor to make sure there is nothing unusual going on.

Do you exercise often? Because people that are very sporty tend to sweat easier.

[emily-candace]

no pun intended but don't sweat it but do carry a fresh pair of undies in your bag I do just to keep fresh if I need them.
