See your derm: Discuss this with your dermatologist. You need an evaluation that may include some blood work. There are prescription products that can help. Your dermatologist will devise a plan based on your workup and presentation.

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.

I have hyperhidrosis and wanted to know more about adding prescription antiperspirant into water trays of iontophoresis because read this would help sweat glands absorb antiperspirant to stop sweating better. Tried each separately and still sweat?
