Is it normal that i sweat through shirts?

I often feel insecure and depressed about what I smell and look like and I sweat through my shirts. It makes me feel left out and once broke out crying in the middle of the night. So I'm wondering if anyone else has this happen? If so have you found a solution? Where?

    Botox in the armpits... they offer it in the UK on the NHS for free, but I would ask your Dr about it, especially if it's having an effect on your mental well being

    It does work and has been mentioned by a few people in this thread

    That happens to me too. I tried Drysol but it didn't work as much as I had hoped and the irritation I got made me think it wasn't worth it. There are pills you can take but they all have risks. I'd recommend getting botox, it works spectacularly well! and it lasts for up to six months at a time

    Drysol. It's behind the counter but not prescription at the pharmacy

    Aluminium chloride can be used to combat this. It sounds like you have have hyperhydrosis, so your doctor should be able to prescribe a strong solution.

    I'm like that too, i went to a dermatologist, he prescribed me things that didn't work. So now i still sweat a lot, even for nothing sometimes and try to live with that trouble.

    Some people have some kinda disorder that causes excessive sweating. I'm pretty sure they have tests to see if u have a chemical imbalance etc. & have prescription antiperspirants or meds for chemical imbalances. Talk to ur doc about it. Things like that can really take a toll on ur confidence, mental health & quality of life.
