I know it could be extremely uncomfortable for ppl, especially women and especially teenagers, but the solution that my FIL suggests are the following :

1. Maybe you live in a very humid place, if you can then try moving to a drier or cooler place. I know this might not be a solution, so read the rest.

2. Take a bath 2 to 3 times with cold water and no soap. JUST WATER. You need soap only when you feel dirty, not just sweaty.

3. Haldi or turmeric powder with sandalwood paste makes your skin feel dry and acts like a antibiotic. Try it where ever you feel like you are sweating more. But remember that your clothes might absorb the color, so watchout. Henna is also supposed to make you body cool down. I can' t imagine anybody putting henna all over their body, but hey what do i know what ppl could do if they are desperate enough for a solution.

4. Do not use deodrants. They block your skin cells and in the long run are not so good for you( MY FIL words). If you think that you become smelly due to sweat, then use odor absorbers(not talcum powders and such). We are getting some really cool products now in the US which are great odor busters.

So, follow the advice if it makes sense. Else consult a dermatologist for more answers. Good luck.
