| I have to take medicine daily and one of the side effects is profuse sweating. I wear lightweight, cool clothing but every day I have the same tormenting problem-- my crotch area is soaking wet and I get jock itch something terrible. I have tried powders and sprays (particularly Lotrimin anti-fungal spray) but nothing really helps much. If you know of anything helpful, please let me know what works for you. It's making me miserable and I need a cure!! Thanks for any help you can offer me! |

After you have exhausted medication options, see a dermatologist and see if your insurance will help cover botox. My issue is not the same as yours, but when EVERY other medication failed to solve the problem despite having lots of side effects, botox worked. It's expensive. But it works.
I absolutely do not envy you if you end up having applied to the crotch. That's going to hurt like a bitch! ETA: Seriously, exhaust the medication options first. |

Robinul works great when I need it to. |

I was in a similiar situation when I quit smoking and gained 100 lbs. This product changed my life. You can use this product anywhere also. It will not come off even if go swimming. The more you sweat the better it works. Rub it between my legs, on my sack, crack of my ass, All body parts just glide by each other. 
I'll say it again this product changed my life. You can thank me later. |
| If you're having problems beating back the fungal infections, you should speak to your doctor about an oral anti-fungal. They'll probably want to track your liver function while you're on it, but sometimes topicals just won't do the trick and fighting it from the inside is the only way. |

washing with Hibiclens Antiseptic/Antimicrobial Skin Cleanser will kill bacteria and help with odor. Tea tree oil or tea tree oil soap will kill fungus and stuff, it's very popular for sufferers of athletes feet. I am a profuse sweater and it was getting to the point where my deodorant wore off too soon. Using the soap doesn't stop the sweating but does keep me fresh. |

I'll say it again this product changed my life. You can thank me later. I am going to have to try this and the boxers. I have had this same problem ever since I can remember and is a huge pain (litteraly(chafing)). Was so bad I used to have to bring another pair of boxers to work to change after lunch. But one thing, those boxers are pretty expensive. I'm willing to pay any price if it helps (no botox near the "boys" though). Anything cheaper that would work as well? I suppose any polyester boxer should work or is there something more these boxers do? I may triple up anti-perspirant/body glide/wicking boxers Thanks, this may the most helpful thread I have found on this site! |

Hibiclens Antiseptic/Antimicrobial Skin Cleanser will help. I wash my pits and feet with it to eliminate odor, it helped tremendously, but not for the genitals according to the label. Maybe try certain dri but not on broken skin
consult with your doctor for options |

I got http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propantheline_bromide for excessive sweating. |

Go commando and apply Absorbine Jr. to the affected area after a hot shower. Lol. Co-worker talked his 12 year old brother into doing that. He ran from a tub of cold water to outside in front yard, butt ass naked and drug his ass across the lawn like a dog trying to get it to stop burning. His Dad was not amused and beat his ass.
