How To Deal With Axilary Hyperhidrosis (Sweaty Pits)

Axilary Hyperhidrosis (sometimes spelled “Axillary”) is another way of saying ‘sweaty armpits.’

This type of hyperhidrosis is called "localized" because it is concentrated in the underarms. "Generalized" hyperhidrosis is sweating that occurs fairly evenly over the whole body. You know, underarms, palms, feet, pelvis, torso, you get the idea.

Typically generalized cases of hyperhidrosis point to an underlying cause other than just plain ole’ excessive sweating. For example, it may be as a result of hyperthyroidism or diabetes.

Localized sweating, such as sweating only in your pits, is easier to deal with. You know exactly where the problem is, and you can focus in on the best solutions for that area.
