Mackenzie answered Saturday June 4 2005, 6:20 pm: This is a big pRoblem foR me also, so I know how you feel; I've been theRe, and it's not good. I Reccommend using an anti-peRspiRant deodoRant, followed by RegulaR baby powdeR. The anti-peRspiRant of couRse helps to Reduce sweating, oR at least is said to, but in ouR case... neveR does. Then with the assistance of applying baby powdeR Right oveR the deodoRant, the poRes undeR youR aRm close, theRefoRe, moRe oR less tRapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS woRks foR me, but theRe *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the ass, so I usually make a point of caRRying some soRt of jacket. And about that CeRtain DRi stuff people always talk about on heRe... they say it can be puRchased at Wal-gReens, RiteAid, CVS, and WalmaRt, howeveR, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the stoRe looking foR it, I neveR seen it on the shelves. NatuRally, this leads me to ask an employee wheRe I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've neveR heaRd of it, and they do not caRRy the pRoduct... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the pRoblem peRsists, peRhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with pRopeR medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up youR poRes, so sweating neveR Really happens again. I'm not shoRe if that's an option foR you, but I Recommend asking him foR moRe info. But whateveR you decide to do, goodluck fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hopefully I've been of some help; know that you can always come back to me if you need anotheR opinion. =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
kooka-burra answered Saturday June 4 2005, 6:18 pm: I have the same problem.
Do you also sweat on your hands, face and feet? Do you get huge sweat stains? I did and you may have something called hyperhydrosis.
It can be treated, I went to my doctor and he gave me something called Drysol (I also live in canada) you can find it in any drugstore (it's not over the counter you have to ask for it). I got it and it is really strong, I have sensitive skin so when ever I put it under my arms it stung. So my mom got me something called Mitchum (it is over the counter). It isn't as strong as drysol and is alot cheaper (drysol is $20 and Mitchum is $5). It acts like a sheild and the more you use it the the stronger the sheild gets. You can even get BOTOX injected into your underarms, hands and feet. Or in more extrem cases you can even under go surgery. of course these are last resort kind of things. In short I use drysol on my hands and feet and mitchum on my under arms. If you want more info on hyperhidrosis go to.

tell your mom and go to the doctor. And you'll be able to live with it.
