Help! My girlfriend has a wet armpit problem. Large patches of sweat often appear on her armpit area and her back is always wet.
It does not help that she often likes to wear tight-fitting grey clothing or a light-colored shirt and therefore the wet patches are very obvious.
And mind you – it is not that she is working out; we could be in an LT attending a lecture together and I could see wet patches forming with a musty sour odour
Sometimes it is soaked to the extent that the fabric sticks to her skin. Worse when she wears white and her skin and undergarments become see-thru. She has tried deodorant and even putting pads on her armpits but the sweat seeps thru.
Do you think she has hyperhidrosis? How should I approach this? Frankly, I don’t find that too much of an issue but I’m afraid my reputation will take a hit when I go out with her. Anybody here can give health advice? I’m in a dilemma!
Netizens’ comments
- Reputation??? Obviously you care about yourself more than her..if I will you I find solutions to help her instead saying Simi Lang ReputationÂ
- Please leave her. A better guy will be more supportive of her instead of being embarrassed by her condition.
- Jialat. After commenting on ur post, I’m afraid my reputation will take a hit also liao
- The solution – only hang out in Aircon environments. No taking bus or MRT. And u pay everything for her. Then your reputation and approval ratings will surely be stellar.
- She can Botox her pits to reduce sweat output and use the ordinary’s glycolic acid to apply everyday to deal with discolouration and odour issues
- A friend had this issue. It was a medical problem and she got a minor surgery done for it. Didn’t eliminate the problem but reduced it. Do ask her to see a doctor… if it bother her. You haven’t mentioned much about how she feels about it.
