Do i have hyperhidrosis?
Yes, what you are describing is hyperhidrosis. You can dry drysol (available by prescription only). You may want to look into a treatment called iontophoresis. Or botox injections under the arms can control the problem. You should go see your dermatologist who should be able to give you further information on these options.


Good Luck!


Your Friendly Dermatologist.
Reply:Alot of teenagers go through this. Go to your doctor and ask for DrySol. It is a perscripition deoderant that WILLLL not let u sweat. It is a little painful tho. Just follow the directions on the box for less pain.


Good Luck!
Reply:Use an "antiperspirant" not a "deodorant" as that only adds scent and the "antiperspirant" keeps you drier. If that doesn't help, check with your doctor - you are fairly young to have this. There is a prescription cream that can be used, but there's a risk of developing a rash so might not be able to use it. The next alternative would be a botox injection.
