Puddle Pits


Question Posted Thursday August 3 2006, 2:36 pm

Hey. I sweat alot in my arm-pits. i've tried special deoderants, but they didnt work out. Last year when I started shaving my under-arms(12 was when all the sweating started. I heard you could get a shot that helps you not sweat/not as much. Do you know anything about this shot? Thanx soo much!

p.s.- i even sweat when its cold....

The shot your talking about is called Botox.

The new usage is aimed at those who suffer a condition that causes four or five times more nderarm perspiration than normal. Botox apparently temporarily paralyzes a nerve that stimulates sweat glands.
~*Side effects include headache, fever and sweating in other parts of the body. The cost varies, but can average about 750 dollars for both arms.

You stated you sweat in the winter time, that is not normal. Although I am NOT a Dr. it does sounds like you might have hyperhidrosis-conditions when a person sweat's more than normal. Or you could have a over-active thyroid-Sometimes the thyroid gland of our body produces excess amounts of the hormone thyroxine, which can increase the sensitivity to heat. This directly results in more sweating.

Because you are sweating so much, you are depleting your body of all the fluids your taking in so take care to drink more water so that you do not become de-hydrated. Tell your parents about this and see if they can schedule you a Dr. appointment. They can give you medicine to help you. There's no need to be sweating that bad when you don't have to be!
