I too had a friend who had Botox injected there. It helped her. Ask for a hospital referral.I personally have never experienced it but my friend has had botox injections and they have worked well for her x
Omg OP I have this. It's like reading about my life. I found it so frustrating that it completely dictates how I live! I can't wear what I want, certain activities i know that people will see etc. I like you tried all the medication and the deodorants to no avail. I've since had iontophoresis for my hands and feet which although isn't comfortable works so well. I currently also have Botox under my arms. Same situation really, it's really unpleasant but for me has worked brilliantly. Tbh, it's changed my life. I still sweat heavily elsewhere but not sweating under my arms has made a huge difference. DM me if you wanna chat/know anymore. I've had this condition for around 20 years now so well accustomed to it sadlyI have been struggling with excessive sweating under my arms for years now. I have been to the doctor and I got tablets which block the sweat glands, and they do work BUT they make me feel so poorly so it's just not worth taking them. I've also been prescribed deodrant but it doesn't seem to help.
I can't wear certain tops as you just see the sweat patches, it's so embarrassing.
Has anyone else experienced this or got anything that helps?
I was a sweaty teenager and used this. My arm pits were so so dry after.I’ve heard Botox works. I sweat a lot but it’s more the odour I have issues with, been using Salt of the Earth for the last two years and it’s the best deodorant I have ever used, only issue is it can dry you out and as it’s so hot I’ve got a rash on one arm pit but I’m just moisture going it and it’s clearing up.
It's really not pleasant but is over so quick and it's honestly been life changing for me.I tried the Driclor stuff too but my god it stings/itches!!!
i just wear black clothing now.
Botox helps apparently but the thought of needles in my armpits
i used it years ago, I found it worked for a few weeks but I couldn’t stand the itchingIt's really not pleasant but is over so quick and it's honestly been life changing for me.
Oh sorry I meant the Botox lol. The driclor was always a no go for me because if the itching burning and stinging. Nasty stuff hahai used it years ago, I found it worked for a few weeks but I couldn’t stand the itching
I’d wake up in the night and have to wash it off lol
My personal experience with Botox was that I needed it a few times before I felt the full effects. After my first few sessions my sweating decreased but didn't totally stop. But I can honestly say now it has gone completely. I still sweat a lot elsewhere but even for it to stop under my arms is life changing.I have the same problem - no smell but excessive wetness, even when it’s cold! It’s the bane of my life, I can’t wear certain colours/materials and am always very conscious of my outfit choices because of it.
I had Botox this time last year. I paid £390 for it, had the first lot and it stung a bit but I thought it would be worth it so I didn’t mind. I went back for a top up a few weeks later as it had reduced but not stopped completely, and was gutted when I realised afterwards that it hadn’t really worked.
I spoke to my doctor about it before lockdown and he suggested some of the deodorants that have been mentioned further up which I’ve bought but haven’t used yet as I’ve got sensitive skin and I’m a bit worried about irritation. My doctor was very sympathetic but basically said the only other thing to consider would be surgery to remove the sweat glands which they would only do as a very last resort in very extreme cases.
Interested to read everyone else’s experience because at this point I’m thinking I’ll just have to pick my clothing choices carefully forever!
