Other names: hidrosis, perspiration
Every person perspires, some less, some more. Sweat is normally own health, since it excludes a number of waste products (urea, salts, acids, ..). Sweat glands are spread across the skin with the exception of the edges of the lips, the inner surface of the foreskin and the nail bed. In the densest clusters they are not on the palms, soles and forehead.
Most sweat odor in the armpit, because there are disposed not only classic sweat glands, but glands aromatic occurring near the hair. It is therefore advisable to use deodorant every day (to eliminate odors) just once in the morning and the effect then lasts throughout the day.Antiperspirants (they clog sweat glands and prevent sweating as such) can cause skin irritation, so they are not satisfactory for many people. There are also special creams that can be purchased at a pharmacy, some people but again poorly tolerated.
