I used to sweat really badly from my armpits.

I used antiperspirants but my skin got irritated so I had to refrain from using them.

I was even considering surgery but I found another easy soloution:

Go and see a skin specialist.

Ask him to prescribe you a higher dose of Antiperspirant which has a higher content of Aluminium Chlorohydrate mine was 15g.

Use this at night only and put it on before you go to bed and shower it off in the morning.

You should see results within the first week. After about 3 weeks you should have virtually no sweating. From then on you can use the Antiperspirant once or twice a week, I have gone back to a regular Deodorant now and its working fine.

If you can’t get a prescribed one just get one off the shelf with the maximum Aluminium content. Aluminium clogs the sweat pores.

Also your skin is probably thinned out from using Cortisone and other creams. I had a Zinc based cream prescribed which helped build the skin back up. I used this during the day or on nights where I didn’t use the Antiperspirant. I also had another cream prescribed which didn’t contain Cortisone but I haven’t needed it lately.

This should also be applicable to other areas on the body.

In some cases you may sweat more from other areas but this hasn’t happened for me either.

Hope it goes well for you!
