A member asked:
I don't usually sweat a lot, but i'm 23 weeks pregnant, & i've been sweating profusely from my armpits. is pregnancy a cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hormonal changes can cause increased sweating and during pregnancy there are major hormonal changes. Most likely this will improve after the pregnancy and go back to normal. Hang in there for now but be in touch with your doctor about it because some treatments are not safe in pregnancy.

Is it better to not use antiperspirants so your sweat just flows out? Maybe sweating is better for the body? Problem is it makes my armpits smell.
