If you're constantly sweating bullets, even when it isn't hot out
If you're constantly sweating bullets, even when it isn't hot out If you're sweating heavily, even when your body isn't overheating (e.g., you're camped out on the couch with the A/C blasting), you could be suffering from hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes people to sweat an abnormally large amount for no good reason -- usually in the underarms, hands or feet. Your first line of defense should be to talk to your doctor about your condition. He or she will likely recommend prescription antiperspirants like Xerac AC or Drysol. These are similar to over the counter antiperspirants but contain an extra kick of aluminum chloride to plug sweat glands and prevent sweat from reaching the skin. Many prescription antiperspirants can be used on the armpits, hands and feet, and can even reduce the size of sweat glands in the long run to keep excessive sweating in check. However, the higher amount of aluminum means there's a higher risk of skin irritation and staining. Consult with your doctor during pregnancy and before breast-feeding.
