Excessive Underarms Perspiration A Problem

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi I suffer from severe perspiraation issues under my arms I can't wear coloured clothing or go out because of this please help me

Dear Mohamed aabid: Axillary hyperhidrosis represents the excessive sweating of the underarms (sweaty underarms). Axillary hyperhidrosis may occur in the presence of stimuli like emotional distress and anxiety. The treatment of excessive underarm sweating turns, at first, to medical deodorants, which can prove to be very effective. Products containing 10% to 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate are the first line of treatment for underarm sweating. When the condition is more severe medications like anticholinergics, iontophoresis, botox injections and Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) are other options.
