Sweating profusely on any one body part depends upon a very simple thing – how many sweat glands are present on that part of the body. It is entirely possible that you are one of those who have more than the normal amount of sweat glands and pores present in your armpits. Usually, too, people have millions of sweat glands in the armpits. But some people are just blessed enough to have more than the normal. Sometimes, people even have double the normal amount of sweat glands and pores. Unless you are plagued with a foul odor too, there is no need to be overly concerned about this problem. There is simply very little that can be done to make a person stop sweating, apart from always remaining in an air conditioned environment all the time. This too, is not good for health. There are a few basic rules that can be followed in case of profusely sweating underarms. The very first one is to do away with the hair in the armpits. It is also a good idea to keep the hair off. Whether male or female, this is one of the best ways to reduce wetness in the armpits. More than anything else, perspiration will stick to the hair and will not dry up at all, thus leading to the armpits always being wet.
Apart from this, it is also a good idea to always wear natural yarn clothing. Cottons are a safe bet, as they not only allow easy air circulation so that there is always dryness, they will also absorb excessive perspiration. Wearing sleeveless clothing is an added plus in cases such as yours, as the armpits will get an opportunity to dry up naturally. If not convenient, keep in mind that synthetic materials such as polyester and nylons will stifle the skin and make it perspire more than normal. Another excellent remedy is to use talcum powder in the armpits. This will allow excessive perspiration to get easily absorbed and stay off the skin. Talcum powder should be talc based and not cornstarch based. Talc is better at absorption and also less grainy in nature than cornstarch. It is normally unwise to use anti perspirants, as they have a tendency to block sweat pores, which is not healthy or wise. But if you find that you have to wear synthetic clothing, using anti perspirants is a good idea to ward off excessive sweating.
