All people past puberty experience axillary (armpit) sweat and odour, and these are normal bodily functions. Excessive armpit sweating is known as axillary hyperhidrosis and is a variation of the normal sweating process. We understand that this can be a distressing problem for those who suffer from it. Whilst anti-perspirants can be effective in reducing normal levels of armpit sweating, there are occasions when the body requires something stronger. Unilever as a manufacturer and not a healthcare organisation is not in a position to suggest alternatives for your treatment, however, there is a great deal of information on the internet where you can review advice offered by experts about axillary hyperhidrosis. Our best suggestion if you are worried about excess sweat is to arrange to see your doctor and discuss with him/her possible treatment alternatives.
