Excessive Sweating and Hyperhidrosis by: Anonymous
Hello Ms. Anonymous,
Thanks for the follow-up questions about dealing with sweat. I’m sure there are other people in the same situation as you that are reading this thread.
With regard to the Certain Dri and other antiperspirants burning, it’s because of the aluminum that’s in there which, as you know, blocks up the sweat glands. Whether or not this is bad for you is still up for debate. Nobody knows for sure. But a lot of people speculate that it is bad for you, because aluminum is a heavy metal, and putting a heavy metal into your body probably doesn’t have much health benefit.
Sounds like your excessive sweating gets more intense when you’re in social situations, which is very common. I would definitely get rid of the shirts that stink, unless they don’t stink anymore after you wash them. Still, even if you do get rid of them, use Gold Bond and sweat-shields. They rock.
Girl, are you kidding, you eat all that greasy stuff? Stop eating like that and I bet you’ll see a difference after a little while. The difference in your sweating may be about 40%, but the difference in your body odor will be tremendous. Start eating lots of fruits and veggies, and other things we discuss in the ‘Body’ section. Also, start exercising if you haven’t already. You didn’t even read the site like I told you to!
Start eating and exercising the way we describe it, and start working on your self-confidence so that this anxiety thing goes away.
