Smelly armpit is definitely a cause for concern and can lead to social withdrawal. There are various reasons like improper hygiene, excessive caffeinated drinks (coffee, softdrinks) and excessive intake of foods like onion and garlic leading to smelly sweating. Also, sometimes there can be bacterial or fungal infection in the underarms that can cause bad odour from armpits rather than a smelly sweat. If you sweat excessively, use topical aluminium hydroxide lotion at night in the affected area. A dusting powder can be used during daytime. Diluted vinegar washes also help in balancing the ph and controlling infections, thereby reducing the smell. Drink adequate amounts of water and maintain a good hygiene like regularly clipping the underarm hairgrowth. A good dermatologist should be able to help you in diagnosing the cause of smelly underarms. There are various medicines and procedures now available to tackle this embarrassing condition. Hope this helps you. All the best.

Sweaty Hands called palmar hyperhidrosis is quite embarrassing condition. The specific cause for excessive sweating is unknown but it may be triggered by stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, health conditions like congestive heart failure, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease etc., But many believe it is caused by a hyperactive sympathetic nervous system, causing the sweat glands in the hands to produce sweat unnecessarily. Drysol or other Topical Medicines containing Aluminium chloride may be tried. Oral Medications - anticholinergic drugs like Oxybutynin, propantheline bromide and benztropinereduce hyperhidrosis. may be helpful. Iontophoresis treatment where patients place their hands in trays filled with water that pass a mild electrical current through the skin of the hands. This causes the outer layer of the skin to thicken, blocking the flow of sweat. Botox Injection where the toxins temporarily block the release of acetylcholine, the chemical neurotransmitter from the nerves that send signals to the sweat glands, but is very costly. The last option is Surgery a procedure called ETS - Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine, smoking and drink more water to lower your body temperature are also helpful.

Lifestyle changes Changing your lifestyle cannot cure primary hyperhidrosis (hyperhidrosis with no obvious cause), but it can improve your symptoms and help your confidence. The advice below may help. Avoid triggers that you know make your sweating worse, such as spicy foods and alcohol. Use antiperspirant frequently, rather than deodorant. Avoid wearing tight, restrictive clothing and man-made fibres, such as nylon. Wearing black or white clothing can minimise signs of sweating. Armpit shields can absorb excessive sweat and protect your clothes. Wear socks that absorb moisture, such as thick socks made of natural fibres, or special soles or sports socks designed to absorb moisture. Avoid wearing socks made out of man-made materials and change your socks at least twice a day if possible. Ideally wear shoes made of leather, and try to alternate between different pairs of shoes every day. Stronger antiperspirants If a regular antiperspirant doesn't control your sweating, your GP may prescribe or suggest a stronger one for you. Antiperspirant containing aluminium chloride is often used to treat hyperhidrosis. This works by plugging the sweat glands. You will need to apply it at night just before you go to sleep and wash it off in the morning.
