Mine is astronomically bad. Nothing works, no antiperspirant, no clinical strength. It is disorder bad. Is this going to be a dermatologist matter? Something has got to give here I can’t go through life keeping my arms by my side like an a-hole.

Thick undershirts.
V-neck if you don’t like the look or are 18

How old are you? I had issues when I was in my 20s but it’s pretty much normal now. Dermatologist can definitely help. I used some stuff that burned like hell. Put it in at night and wouldn’t sweat at all for a few days. I don’t remember what it was though but I think it was OTC.

Probably Drysol. That's what I used when I was in high school and had issues. Definitely works.

Not that I recommend it, but you can get a nueromodulator injected into it.

Is it over the counter now? Had bad issues with that in my late 20s and that stuff was a life saver. I actually got to enjoy the freakin pit burning because it helped feel like it was working. And it did. Gradually the problem went away. Don’t remember the last time I needed it now many years later.

Feet sweat for me. Never was an issue, but it’s gotten bad in the last year or so.

I felt the same way. If it was burning you knew you wouldn’t be sweating. After the night it was a manageable burn.

Lose weight and shave your pits.

Drysol if that doesn’t work.

Any cure to making your sweat smell better? I don't have abnormal pit sweat, but when I workout I stink. I know you're supposed to at some extent, but I feel like mine is bad. Like eating pineapple to make your jizz taste better type cure?

Change deodorant and bathe regularly. Trimming your pits will help too.

Most people misuse antiperspirant, you’re supposed to put it on before bed, not in the morning. It takes time to soak in and your sweat glands need to be inactive for it to be absorbed. Try that.
