Excessive sweating?
-
Talc does a pretty decent job for me. I still get sweat circles but more normal ones and not so embarrassing. You can either use baby powder or deodorants/antiperspirants with talc in their ingredients (Borotalco comes to mind, idk if it wxists where you live). Also, if you are using spray deodorant/antiperspirant, change to stick/solid. Seriously, I have been using spray for years, tons of it tbh and all different brands, and none of them helped a bit. Once I changed to solid I use way less deodorant/antiperspirant and it's much more effective (both with odor and amount of sweat).
I will also agree with the aluminium chloride, altho I have never tried it personally, I have heard it by many as a solution.

I have used certain dry at night for pit sweat…it helps, but can irritate if you put it on too often

dunno man

Without any physical pathology a psychobehavioral therapy is best suited.
If it's only a symptom of a underneath pathology it's better to just cure that.Ask your doctor and good luck

Here in Germany there is a pill with garden sage extract. It is non prescription and completely
without side effects. Maybe there is something similar in your country. -
Its called hyperhydrosys (sp?), can be a thyroid problem there are 5 different test your doc can do, have them run all 5 not just 2-3 they usually run, those are the cheap tests that have the highest failure rate.
If its not thyroid, ask your doc for a prescrip for oxybutynin its the generic version of Ditropan, the stuff they give women for over active bladders. It will make your mouth dry but it works keeping the sweat down. I used to sweat through an undershirt, dress shirt and would even take a wash rag and fold it in 4ths and would still have to change shirts at lunch working in an office. It cut the sweat WAY down on me.
Your doc will never have heard of using it for sweat, but they can check online. I take it everyday -
Also had a Doc explain to me that unless its localized sweating (pits only, or only sweaty palms) if you use something like Dri-sol (which works good but is very irritating to the skin) your body is going to keep making the same amount of sweat, it will just come out somewhere else

I'm lucky because I don't sweat a lot (except during summer…)
I know some of my friends who have trouble with it, but I can't remember what did they use to keep dry (talc, I think...)

we used the sage stuff always on fashion shows, and me, myself for a long time.

I use Perspi-Guard (UK) which lasts me about 4 days between applications and survives daily showering well. I only sweat in a couple of areas but I find if I use talc during the daytime the sweat and movement of clothing causes talc to creep across the skin and collect in skin creases which become dry and sore.
This is a really good and concise bit of info on antiperpirants which mentions several US brands:

this is totally not helpful, but I find excessive sweating really hot - I'd love to lick your sweaty body and enjoy pure masculine smell!
