A member asked:

How to prevent arm pits from sweating so much n what to use ( brand of deorderant) after using deorderant it still seems to give of the arm pit smell.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drysol: For perspiration that doesn't respond to the usual antiperspira)nts, topical aluminum chloride is one of the best. Drying agents (such as xerac ac) which you might need a presciption for. A mild deoderant is tom's but this isn't the best drying agent.
