Sweating problem: Try getting a prescription for aluminum chlorhydrate from your doctor Drysol is another option

Hyperhidrosis: Hyperhidrosis is the condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating/perspiration. There are some Rx medications with higher concentrations of Aluminum Chloride that may help your issue, and a good discussion with a dermatologist can inform you of some over the counter deodorants that can counteract odors as well. Best wishes.

Don't sweat it: What do you use to wash with?Do you use chlorine to help get the odor out?What kind of work do you do?Smoke?Have you been hibernating(probably not)?Any stinky-causing foods? Antiperspirant?Deoderant?I've found those antibacterial gels with aloe help the body de-stink -and prevent it too! And you can use antiperspirant in area other than your armpits.There are medications but they have side effects
