Extremely Excessive Perspiration: Right armpit

[Zackular]

I could be at a completely comfortable room temperature, just chillin' and doing whatever.

Then a bead of sweat rolls down my right side.
Wtf?
Not just like a little bit of sweat, more like a giant teardrop of it. So I wipe it off with a towel or whatever's handy and resume my business. It happens over and over again, and I don't know why.

Tell me why dammit! :[

And discuss.

How old are you? Also, do you use deodorant?

Welcome to my hell. It's a over active gland and there isn't much in terms of a cure for it. If you are older, the only way to actually get rid of it is with botox injections. Most antiperspirants don't help.

I will clarify botox for those who don't know exactly what it is. Botox stands for Botulism Toxin.
Search for it on wikipedia. The toxin kills the nerve wherever it's injected at......yadda yadda ya.
So if the overactive gland is killed you wont sweat no more.

It's lupus.

Wait-

It's hyperhydrosis. Sounds like you've got a bad case. If you want to try an anti-perspirant look for Certain-Dri. It works differently than regular anti-perspirants so follow the instructions. If it doesn't work consult a physician. Or consult a physician beforehand.

Hyperhydrosis is caused by a nervous condition, I believe. Or a hormone thing. It's related to other things like excessive blushing. There's a surgery for it but it usually fixes one problem and results in another related one.

Wow. SWF is a surprising source of knowledgeable people in the field of overactive glands and anti-persperants.

I have the same problem. I'll just be talking to someone and when I'm done, not embarrassed or anything, and I'll have a pit stain. Yuck.

So... you want him to stab his armpit?

Does it happen in cold environments too? That would suck, everyone said a lot already so you should try them and get back to us.
