DS, 24, struggling with sweaty armpits

He works as a waiter in a busy restaurant, busy, hectic, fast paced. And travels on the tube 😏

He showers daily and washes his arm pits with soap and uses a good anti perspirant deodorant.

He gets really sweaty and sometimes smelly.
He has taken to wearing a t shirt under a shirt so that sweat marks don’t show but they obviously make him hotter.

Any suggestions? He can’t be the first person to be in this situation.

TIA

My son used something like these, they are brilliant and kept him feeling dry all through his shift.

He may have hyperhidrosis. If it's bad then he could use an iontophoresis machine

Make sure his shirt isn't synthetic. Wear a cotton one. Also agree on the dettol anti bac soap and wash armpits twice. Wash rinse. Then soap again and rinse again. One wash to get the old deodorant off. Then wash again to clean the skin.

Aluin stone - wet it then rub it over the whole area. Keep wetting and applying as needed. I find it Gold.

He might not be doing it right. Most people don't know that you're meant to put anti persperant on at night before bed. So it absorbs overnight.

Morning is no good. I started putting it on at night years ago and noticed a dramatic reduction in the amount I sweat

How does it work if you shower in the morning?

Cut any hair down low, and exfoliate the pit area.

Botox in his underarms will be lifechanging.
