Hello, I'm new to the afraidtoask website, but I believe that I will be using it a fair bit in the future. Anyways, I'm just going to get down to my problem.
My problem is, I sweat a fair bit, only in the armpit area it seems though. I find the fact that I sweat this much odd, since I'm small for my age. I'm a 16 year old male, about 5 foot 10, and 130 pounds. I'm not obese, in fact, I'm more of an athletic build. So I'm finding it odd that when I go home after a day of school, or being with my friends to find large circular sweat marks under my arms on my shirts when I take them off. It often even goes through my shirt, so that when I raise my arms, it is noticeable.
I was just wondering if there was a reason behind why I sweat so much, and if there is any way that I can stop this. I'm not usually nervous, except sometimes when it comes to school (a large test for example). Even when I'm calm, I'm sweating like crazy, it's fairly annoying.
My first thought as to why I sweat so much would be my diet. At times, I can be healthy eating, but I do eat a fair bit of junk food (pop, fast food, chips, that sort of thing). I'm wondering if I eat more unhealthy, will I be sweating more? That's the only thing I could really think of.
It's just weird to me, that I'm smaller than the average 16 year old, and more athletic than most of the people I know, yet I sweat so much. I just don't see a reason. Are there any ways that I can sweat less? :S. All help is appreciated.

Sweating.

I used to sweat a lot, too.I figured out that (for myself at least) the more I thought about sweating, the more I did. There would be days where I wouldn't sweat at all, and that's because I had other things on my mind than worrying about sweat showing through my clothes.I dunno if that helps you any, but I tried...

Sometime using products like anti-persperant or sweat preventing deoderant can infact make you sweat more, because of the residue etc in the armpits. Try using a modest roll-on, if not for women try a man's roll on. Don't put too much on, after all, deoderant under the arms is not meant to be smealt, but is meant to hide the smell of sweat. Leave the potent smells to your aftershave.When I sweated a lot in school, I would bring a portable shower into classes, and ask the teacher if I could hook it up to the taps, making it very simple for me to quickly wash the armpits, penis or even anal sphincter during class. Obviously this was in the store room, not in front of the class lol.For me though the smell of potent shite in a fart is much more disgusting and embarrassing than sweat, so if you fart, do pressups so you sweat to the point of drench.Hope that helps

yea.. wut ben said.. wtf?? a teacher isn't going to let u take a freaking shower in a class room. hell i dk if showers like that are made. i mea where would the water go? where would it come from. hell u;d have to take a big tank of water around with u too.... :open_mouth:
i dk wut to tell u to try... maybe try changing deordernts (but even if ur doign alot of hard work or out in the heat ur going to sweat) maybe try wearing two shirts...liek a undershirt with sleves not the tanks.

Well, it actually was my deodorant. I used to use antipersperant, and recently changed to a liquid deoderant, and I seem to be sweating much less.
