DEODORANT
Deodorant for hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating works to stop
sweat that reacts with decomposing bacteria and uric acid
Deodorants are
in most cases, chemicals, either natural or synthetic which are
applied to the body, generally on the axillary or armpit region.
Wikpedia classifies a "subgroup" of deodorants as antiperspirants.
Antiperspirants according to the FDA can only be used on the armpits
whereas they will allow deodorants to be used on other parts of
the body such as the hands, face and feet. Sweat in and of itself
is largely odorless. However, covering the human body is bacteria
which under heat and humidity in the armpit region, breaks down
and ferments with uric acid and produces an ammonia like smell.
Armpit hair adds to the odor by providing an extended surface area
from which the bacteria can grow. Therefore, shaving your armipts
will help reduce armpit odor. Deodorants work to basically
cover up the odor. Some deodorant kinds work to kill
the bacteria within the armpit sweating. A deodorant
is not regulated by the FDA. A dedoroant
is classified as a cosmetic and not a drug, unlike antiperspirants.
The first deodorant was Mum, and was introduced at the end
of the ninetheeth century. A deodorant can be formulated with metal
chelating agents that slow bacteria growth or may combine an antibacterial
such as triclosan. What I have found to be a significantly effective
deodorant is 10% benzoyl peroxide. You can use a peroxide
bar of soap or the acne cream and wash your armpits with
it. You will find this to work very effectively. The downside is
that it can bleach your clothing.
One of the best
dedorants is Maxim. Even though Maxim is technically an antiperspirant,
because it will stop armipt sweating, it will work to stop
the fermentation of the bacteria.
