Anything else I can do?

Okay so I am working to stop excessive sweating.

I am currently using Gilette clinical strength at night( as directed) and drinking lots of water.

Is there anything else I can do???

Update:

The sweating has decreased a little, but is still an embarrasing problem.

    Choose natural-fiber clothing - Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool and silk, which allow your skin to breathe. Wear loose fitting and light clothing that allows your skin to breathe. Wear light colored clothing that will not absorb the heat. When you exercise, you might prefer high-tech fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin.

    Losing weight - If you have a weight problem you will be putting stress on your body. When you do this you will increase your sweating problem. It is wise to take steps to convert to a healthy diet, and not get too heavy. The heavier you are the more strain will be on your entire system.

    Generally, OTC antiperspirants are used for profuse sweating or hyperhidrosis. The most effective are those that contain aluminium chlorohydrate. But, such preparations may themselves cause irritation. Inflammation and infection can result from the combined effect of shaving and chemicals.

    There are also conventional oral medications for controlling sweating, but again unpleasant side effects may occur and they should be used only for extreme cases. These work by drying bodily secretions, and tend to come with unwanted side-effects such as dry mouth, blurry vision, dizziness and cardiovascular concerns. As a last resort, there are surgical procedures to control perspiration, but they are usually reserved for cases resistant to all other form of treatment.
