Totally embarrassed

I have suffered since puberty but to excessive amounts. It started with my armpits, although they don't bother me anymore.
The area that is affected is not the armpit,hands or feet. I'm too embarrassed to say where. I've tried everything over the counter that I can use although the directions always say only for armpits, hands or feet. I hope this doesn't sound too much like a riddle, but I can't bare to say where. I suffered when I was thin, and now that I am overweight, it has only gotten worse. I have other mental disorders including depression. There were times I almost committed suicide over this issue. It has left me feeling less human and definately not like a human. Any suggestions?

if it's topical your looking for you are probably out of luck with things to stop it. you might try cornstarch for absorbing excess moisture. other than that i'd say you are only left with going to the dr.

Have you tried Klima Antiperspirant? It worked great for me. I used to have "groin" area sweat too. Since using Klima antiperspirant, my wetness and odor have completely stopped. I have been using for about 3 months. After about a week - it almost dried everything up!
It's kind of a strong product - it costs $25, but it lasts about 2-3 months for a bottle. It's not a regular deodorant - it's made especially for hyperhidrosis sufferers like us. You should try it.

You are human. I know it's hard, but try not to take it so personally. You are not alone. Did you know that in the USA, up to 6 million people have this condition like we do? That's a whole buch of sweaty people.
And I agree with the guy above who said to try klima. That stuff works great.
