First Steps in Solving Excessive Perspiration

Everybody sweats and of course during the warm summer months or when working in a hot environment people do sweat more than normal.

In the short-run, you might want to change your clothing to be lighter, or sit in cooler parts of rooms, for example away from sunlit windows in an office.

Unfortunately, you can't always act quickly to these problems, so what else can you do?

Easy Preventative Measures

For now we'll assume that there isn't an underlying serious health issue, and just that you have an increased metabolism - perhaps through regular cardio-vascular exercise.

• In situations like this, addressing the effects of the profuse sweating are positive. For example, you can purchase dress shields to put in the underarm areas of your shirts and blouses so that they can absorb the perspiration and not allow it to soak through your clothes.
  
• Another thing popular with sufferers is applying cornstarch or talcum powder under your clothes as well.
  
• A doctor can also prescribe a strong antiperspirant to help those with profuse sweating on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
  
• Throughout the day, perhaps during coffee breaks, go into the restroom and blot yourself off and reapply some powder.
  
• Make sure you shower regularly; there's probably no reason you can't shower right after work if needed. Do your laundry regularly and never wear a shirt twice without laundering it.While your particular case of profuse sweating may not necessarily soak through your clothes, it will still trap some bacteria and germs on your clothes and cause them to have a bad smell.
  
• Even if you aren't sure whether or not clothes need to be laundered or if you need to bathe, do so in any case just to be sure - it makes sweat problem control the next day easier if you suffer from another bad attack. You might feel this is a real pain, but if you plan your routine, the time it takes to do the laundry and to take a quick shower can be minimised.
