Underarm sweating is also known by its medical term axillary hyperhidrosis and is used to describe the condition of excessive sweating in the armpit region of the body.
It has been estimated that 1% of the population in the Unites States suffers from axillary hyperhidrosis. This embarrassing condition will have sufferers literally dripping with sweat from their armpit area.
The main problem with axillary hyperhidrosis is that it is completely resistant to all types of antiperspirants and deodorants that you buy in stores. This makes it hard for suffers to get immediate relief from excessive sweating when it occurs, so they have to look elsewhere for other solutions.
If you consult a doctor, they will usually prescribe you stronger antiperspirant that will have a greater concentration of aluminum chloride. If this does not prove to be an effective remedy they will more than likely prescribe oral medication to you. They may also inform you about various surgical treatments such as botox injections.
