Understanding excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
Excessive underarm sweating, medically known as axillary hyperhidrosis, is a condition where the sweat glands in the armpits produce more sweat than is necessary for regulating body temperature. While occasional sweating is normal and helps cool the body, hyperhidrosis persists regardless of heat or activity, often causing discomfort.
People living with this condition may find themselves avoiding certain clothes and limiting physical activities due to visible sweat marks or damp clothing. Hyperhidrosis can affect individuals of all ages and genders, and it may be influenced by genetic factors, certain medical conditions, or medications.
Understanding the underlying cause of your excessive underarm sweating is essential, as it helps guide the treatment approaches.
Why underarm sweating can be challenging
Some common challenges for people with excessive underarm sweating include:
- Choose dark or loose-fitting clothes to hide sweat patches.
- Carrying spare shirts or using towels.
- Worry about visible sweat or body odour
- Constant moisture can lead to rashes, redness, or chafing under the arms.
Treatment options for excessive underarm sweating
There are several strategies available to help manage and reduce excessive underarm sweating, ranging from simple lifestyle changes to in-clinic treatments. Determining the appropriate treatment requires a consultation.
Lifestyle and at-home strategies
For some individuals, simple adjustments may help minimise sweat production:
- Clothing choices: Breathable fabrics like cotton can reduce moisture buildup.
- Antiperspirants: Medical-grade antiperspirants may provide stronger protection than over-the-counter options.
- Hygiene routines: Regular washing and gentle exfoliation may reduce sweat-related odour and skin irritation.
While these measures may not fully eliminate excessive sweating, they are often the first step in a comprehensive management plan.
Medical management
If home remedies are insufficient, there are several approaches that may help reduce underarm sweat:
- Prescription topical treatments: Certain medical formulations help reduce sweat production by targeting the sweat glands directly.
- Systemic therapies: Oral medications that regulate the nerve signals responsible for sweat production can provide relief, although potential side effects should be discussed with a clinician.
- Clinical treatments: Some medical treatments for excessive underarm sweating can temporarily reduce sweat gland activity.
- Surgery: Severe cases of excessive sweating may require surgery, which involves transecting specific nerves that control sweat gland activity.
- Physical therapies: Methods such as iontophoresis use mild electrical currents to temporarily reduce sweat gland activity and are typically more suited for hands, feet, and sometimes underarms.
Each treatment approach is personalised based on the severity of sweating, medical history, and lifestyle needs.
Managing expectations and results
It’s important to understand that excessive underarm sweating treatments aim to reduce and control sweat, rather than permanently eliminate all perspiration. Results vary depending on the method used, individual physiology, and adherence to recommended follow-up care.

People’s experiences of discomfort vary, but most report only mild, brief discomfort with treatments for underarm sweating.
Most treatments involve the use of numbing to minimise discomfort.
Depending on your treatment plan, results typically emerge over days to weeks.
The longevity of results from underarm sweating treatment typically fade over 6-12 months, depending on the treatment method, and personal lifestyle factors and metabolism.
After underarm sweating treatment, avoid:
- Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24–48 hours
- Hot baths, saunas, or excessive heat immediately after treatment
- Massaging or rubbing the treated area
- Alcohol for 24 hours
- Applying strong deodorants or skincare products to the treated area for a day
Other precautions may be required, depending on your specific treatment plan.
Most non-invasive underarm sweating treatments are generally low-risk when performed by a qualified medical professional. Mild side effects like redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur, but serious complications like infections are rare.
