    Has anyone taken piriton to nullify the intense irritation. I'm into my 5th day, skin is becoming dry and slightly cracked on armpit, which isn't helping but determined to get to 14 days. The stinging is a b**** but tolerable. sleep deprivation, constantly waking to an irritable scratch, is a killer. Any tips other than a night cap(s)?

    Sage tea.

    Drink two cups a day or take sage in capsule form or some way. It stops you sweating.

    It works.

    I had an ex with a HUGE issue with this his hands would be drenched.

    I think it was glandular. But if it worked for him it will work for anyone.

    There are also drugs you can take ...he didn't like the side effects though.

    In a health food shop.

    It might take a week or two to kick in.

    You can take a sage supplement which might be better. You will get that there too.

    Try to get a thujone-free sage supplement i think it is better for you.

    Some people LIKE sage tea and drink it as a beverage many don't like it at all.

    I think supplements are more potent. You will get them in a health food shop.

    Or more simply you could eat the herb. (not sure how affective that is).

    See which you prefer.

    He found it worked after two weeks but found if he stopped it came back.

    I am not suggesting it will deffo work. But hey I like sage anyway YUM!

    A couple of people I know have found that it's also linked to sleep (none of this is medical advice btw!)

    Try to get your 8 hours of sleep and have a regular sleeping pattern.
    The other issue is that you might need to look at your diet. Caffeine, fast-burn sugars (i.e. sweets, soft drinks etc) all can contribute.

    Moving to a healthier diet - lots of fruit, veg, non-high sugar items etc can help a lot by removing sugar lows and highs (also really good for avoiding developing diabetes!) It's just something we should all be doing really as a general healthier lifestyle kind of thing.

    Other than that, I think some people are just sweatier than others.

    Also, high levels of stress will cause you to be sweatier too. If you've sustained stress levels, figure out some way to deal with them like sports, actual relaxation exercises (get some advice on these from an expert), go for a walk, talk to your mates more, if you're really really stressed maybe be even go seek counselling.
