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 antiperspirant deodorant [such as Suave], followed by regular baby powder. The antiperspirant helps to reduce sweating, or at least is said to, but in our case... never does. Then the baby powder will close the pores of your under arm -- 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 butt, so I usually make a point of carrying some sort of jacket. Hearing that, there's this product people are always talking about on this site [but I believe that's from "Monkey See, Monkey Do"], but it's even advertised on television. It's called CertainDri. Now, 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've 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 information. But whatever you decide to do, goodluck from someone who knows EXACTLY what you're going through!!

you can buy certain-dri at grocery stores, and you just put in on at night. it closes up the pores in your underarms that release your sweat, so you don't have the sweat marks. i asked my doctor about my sweat problem (i run track and i HATE sweating) and he said that anti-perspirants could be causing breast cancer later in life, so it's up to you to use them.

Dear Swear Marks,
I think i know what your going through because i get them sometimes. First of all what you need to keep in mind is that, yes, you might have switched your deoderant a billion times and take showers daily but moisture deactivates the stuff in deoderant from working. So in the morning put your deoderant on then a couple times during the day about 4 times try keeping your arms apart from you shirt and let some air get in there to keep you from sweating. If you still have sweat marks at the end of the day just wash your clothes and they should come out.

Good luck and much love,
bubblesamin

instead of using deoderants or that stuff try using lemons...
ok so when you take a shower when your washing urself you should cut the lemon in half and use the lemon and rub it against your armpits but you have to change lemons for every 2-3 weeks.
and it really works...you only have to use that for like 2 months and you wont get sweat marks forever.

You can purchase a very strong anti-perspirant deoderant, Certain Dri, at your local pharmacy to help you from not sweating as much. It makes your sweat glands smaller and you basically won't sweat. It works wonders and it's about $10 but it's worth the price.

It's called hyperhidrosis. It's where your sweat glands work too much. You can go online and order Certain-Dry or Drysol. That's the only way to make it go away.

There's this type of deordorant called 'Certain Dri'. It reduces your sweat glands under your arms so that you sweat less. I use it and it works wonderfully.
