Question Posted Wednesday February 9 2005, 6:31 pm
OK so I'm 13 and I think I sweat too much. Sometimes in the middle of the day there are big sweat stains under my arm, and it's always in my arm pit. I use antipersprent ever day... when ever I take a shower and everything. But sometimes I still sweat, now I wear shirts that don't show the sweat or wear sweaters all the time. I really hate it. Please help.

Have you tried different deoderants? Some are made especially for teens, which means they are prepared to deal with the extra hormones which are making your body a little crazy. Some are made specially for people who sweat a lot - you aren't alone. I'd go to the store, read some labels, and pick a new deoderant. I'd wait at least two weeks before deciding whether it does or does not work.
Another handy thing to do is buy some baby powder. After you apply your deoderant in the morning, lightly sprinkle some baby powder over both your armpits. This really helps soak up extra sweat and keep your shirts sweat-free. This will probably last you for an entire day, but if you find it wearing out, you can always buy a mini-sized bottle of powder and reapply it in the afternoon.
