This is SO embarassing but...?

Hi, I am posting this b/c I have a condition called hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in my underarms, and I usually don't have an odor or a scent, but for some reason I am having this problem since yesterday! It is really bad- and I have good hygiene and I already but it's not working- and this stuff is like the best thing you can use if you have an odor problem. And Idon't know why this is happening! I just showered. My doctor gave me an antibiotic gel to put on incase I ever have this problem. I've used it like 3 times already! I also had this problem one day a long time ago and it worked then, so I'm not sure why it isn't working now. My question is could it be something that I ate yesterday? I usually have a good diet, but my mom is out of town and we don't have much food in the house- so I ordered out TWICE yesterday. They were kind of spicy foods but it was italian I think and I also ordered pizza. I usually don't eat that bad but I was home alone and had to eat something.

This is SO embarassing but...?
sometimes what you eat causes the smell. dont worry. just cover it up with that cream and spray on some perfume. most people wont even notice it is just that it is on you so you smell it more. if it doesnt go away by tomorrow then i might talk to your doctor if i were you.
Reply:dont freak out. u will make it worse. and put loads of perfume on i guess.
Reply:To prevent excessive sweating try taking sea salt. Dissolve 1/4 tsp sea salt to a quart of water and take it regularly as follows: 2 glasses upon waking up in the morning. 1 glass=8 ounces, 1 glass half hr before meals, 1 glass 2 and a half hr after meals and 2 glasses at bedtime. Salt helps retain water in ur body and therefore prevents excess sweating...Altho, the body normally sweats excessively during warm weather.
Reply:By the way, you have Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Excessive sweating of the underarms) and, I think you may have answered you own question in the end. The spicy food did it. lolz. You have to be careful to stay away from spicy food, as it make even the normal sweater....sweat.





Good Luck.





Potential causes of hyperhidrosis





The cause of primary (focal) hyperhidrosis is not known. However, secondary hyperhidrosis can have numerous causes. Depending on the type of hyperhidrosis, causes can range from emotions (e.g., stress) to a serious underlying medical disorder (e.g., heart disease, tuberculosis). One of the more common causes includes heredity. Individuals who are genetically predisposed to hyperhidrosis often have sweaty palms and feet.





Spicy foods and hot beverages, and those containing caffeine and alcohol, can also trigger hyperhidrosis, as can some types of drugs (e.g., certain antipsychotic medications). Hyperhidrosis can also result from overdose of an analgesic (e.g., aspirin, acetaminophen) or hormonal factors, such as hot flashes caused by menopause, or reduced levels of the male hormone testosterone (in men).
Reply:Not sure if you heard of this...but if you really the sweating i just read an article on a treatment. You can get Botox injections in your underarms and they will stop sweating excessively. Hope this helps!
