I just want to say that Drysol really works for me, its been 2 weeks now and I've used it like 3-4 times and haven't seen a drop from my armpits yet. Let me tell you how good Drysol is - I put it on Thursday, the day I got it, and my armpits were dry that whole weekend. All I did is took a shower for everyday I went out, Friday, Saturday and on Sunday I was at the game. I didn't have time to put it on more than once that whole weekend and my armpits were dried. Nothing works like Drysol. I'm writing this because I hope this post helps someone else. I did a lot of research but I'm done. This is my last stop. I just wanted to leave feedback and big thanks to people who made it.

I suffered from excessive sweating since I was about 12 years old. I'll never forget it. It was WINTER and I took off my coat and saw sweat under my arms through my sweater. This continued for YEARS. It was embarrassing. Being nervous definitely increased this issue. When I reached about 20 years old, I was using paper towels under my shirts, attached to my bras. Summer time was dreaded. I was miserable. I owned tons of black shirts. In the summer I'd walk one block and my armpits would be drenched. Now, to be perfectly honest, I am a beautiful woman. Mixed race, slim, nice hair, light eyes... But no matter what, the sweating made me want to hide. Indoors. All the time. Just sitting still made me sweat. It was horrible.

I was sweating all the time and had to shower/change up to 6 times a day. Used the DrySol 3 nights in a row, under arms, feet, even top of legs and under belly. When dry, I put plastic over all areas, covered feet with socks, wore nightie with sleeves, undies held-in plastic at top of legs. The idea is to use at bedtime in this manner, so the product doesn't rub-off AND because this is when the sweat glands are most dormant. Now I only need it twice a week. I use regular deodorant in the morning. Keep in mind: 1) You only need a very small amount to prevent burning your skin 2)Otherwise it must be washed off. 3) Dab under arms ONLY where hair grows. Don't use after shaving! I can now wear tops TWICE and can wear regular shoes. DrySol, you're the best!

I have been using this medication for 2 years now and it has worked great. I had used it in the past when I was younger but it was not effective as I was not using it correctly. I then saw another dermatologist who gave me some tips to using it correctly and ever since then it has worked great. I do get the occasional itching and burning feeling but I too think the benefit of using it out weighs the itching.

For some reason the stinging only happens to me when I use it at night. To avoid the stinging I now use it in the morning after I shower and towel off. The day I use it, I don't wear clothes that I worry about staining. Drysol has worked fantastic for years under my arms. I now only have to use it about once a week. Unfortunately, no matter how I use it on my feet it hasn't helped them.

I have really enjoyed the control over my excessive underarm sweating that Drysol has given me. I use it about twice a week. Occasionally it stings so bad I have to wash it off before the night is finished. The wetness control far outweighs the stinging sensation. No more embarrassing nervous moments.
