Sweating

Since teenage years (now 27) I have sweated a lot. I work in an office and have to take in a spare shirt each day due to it.

I use the 48h anti persperants and shower twice a day but it doesn't seem to help. I am not overweight and have been like this through being relatively skinny in teenage years to now.

I never feel the cold and have always felt the warm a lot more. I only have coats for rain purposes. Everyone finds this strange.

Is this common and is there any particular deodorants that would help?

    Sorry to hear you are going through this, it is awful I know.  I was found to have a small turmour on my pituitary gland and it was upsetting my hormones resulting in terrrible sweats.  I suggest you ask for your pituitary gland to be investigated.

      maybe I exaggerated a bit, as I doubt it would be anything to be worried about. I don't sweat out my face or all over or need a towel, it's mainly armpits which is mostly just embarrassing rather than concerning. Just wondered if there existed particular specialist strength deodorants/anti perspirants that could be recommended.

      Ok, it was the feeling hot/warm when it is cold that made me think there was an underlying problem.

      There are miles on the subject of possible remedies in earlier forums.  Maybe you will get a clue from them.

    stephen15355, Even though sweating is normal to a certain extent, you should be able to feel the cold it shouldn't be something that it's like your immune to. The only time that cold didn't bother me was when I had extremely high blood pressure and I guess that was what was keepiing me that warm. I had excessive sweating all over my face mostly but it was due to a blood pressure medicine I was taking and the sweat was clear and had no odor to it but still annoying when you sweat so bad you have to wipe your face because it's getting in your eye's while sitting iniside in the airconditioning. There should be something you can do to not sweat so excessively since you work in an office you would think you wouldn't sweat so bad in the airconditioning either, even from your armpits.
