"   Question I suffer from bad body odour.  I bathe or shower on a daily basis, use body sprays and never wear my clothes for more than one day, but I can\u2019t stop sweating or get rid of my body odour.  Is there anything else I can try?  Please help.   Answer Don&amp;#039;t despair \u2013 there is help out there for you. About one per cent of the UK population suffer from excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis.  In most sufferers it is the palms of the hands and the armpits that are most affected.    Medicines \u2013 that cause drying up of body secretions can help, but a side-effect of a dry mouth is a common reason for stopping taking them.  Aluminium chloride hexahydrate \u2013 a lotion that can be applied to troublesome areas but it may cause skin irritation or soreness.   Deodorant \u2013 ordinary antiperspirants can be useful if the problem is not too severe and combined with wearing loose fitting clothes made of natural fibres.   Surgery or injections with botulinum toxin \u2013 surgery involves dividing the nerves that supply the sweat glands. An alternative treatment involves twelve injections into the armpit, which can solve excessive sweating for up to eleven months. Feet can be treated but as the area is larger, it is often more painful and can take up to 24 to 36 injections to get the full effect.   Surgery is only recommended for really severe cases and are not without their own complications.  Also don&amp;#039;t forget the effect of hormones \u2013 at the age of twenty they will still very unsettled and this won&amp;#039;t be helping the situation.  Try to keep calm and relaxed and this should help.  Yours sincerely The NetDoctor Medical Team  Other Qs &amp;amp;amp; As Body odour Excessive sweating \u2013 how do I use Triple Dry?
