Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, known medically as hyperhidrosis, is when you sweat much more than the body needs to control its temperature, which can affect the underarms, hands, feet and other areas. GetMyMeds offers strong antiperspirant treatments to help manage it and feel more comfortable.

Who Is It For

These clinical-strength antiperspirants may suit people whose everyday products are not enough to control underarm or localised sweating. They typically work by reducing the flow from sweat glands and are often applied at night to dry skin for best effect. If your sweating started suddenly, is one-sided, or comes with other symptoms such as weight loss or night sweats, it is worth seeing your GP, as occasionally excessive sweating has an underlying cause.

FAQ

How should I apply a clinical antiperspirant? Many are applied to completely dry skin at bedtime and washed off in the morning. Following the instructions closely helps it work well and reduces the chance of irritation.

Can these products cause irritation? Some people experience stinging or itching, particularly early on. Applying to fully dry skin and not using it on freshly shaved or broken skin can help. If irritation persists, speak to a clinician.

Will I need to keep using it? Hyperhidrosis is often an ongoing condition, so continued use is usually needed to keep symptoms controlled, though many people find they can reduce how often they apply it over time.
