Butt sweat is one of the more embarrassing forms of hyperhidrosis. Often it shows through the clothes and is difficult to hide.
What Is Butt Sweat?
"Sweaty Butt" is actually a form of excessive sweating called truncal hyperhidrosis.
It is usually seen when sitting down. You may notice it happening and start to feel the moistness. Standing up is the biggest fear of sufferers and often, the fear of standing up will actually make you sweat even more. This is because it is easily visible, not just in terms of a wet patch, but also because the clothes tend to sit between the cleft in the backside.
The other thing about this condition is that, unlike other forms of hyperhidrosis, there is not always visible dripping sweat from the buttocks. What actually happens is that condensation is actually occuring on the surface that you are sitting on.
Are You Overweight?
Be honest with yourself – are you overweight? Many people with “butt sweat” are overweight and the large nature of their buttocks means that the groinal area is less ventilated compared to others. Hence the greater propensity for condensation and less chance for moisture to evaporate, due to the build-up of heat.
Breathable Clothing
Also, make sure that you are only wearing breathable underwear and clothes such as 100% cotton. Avoid any synthetics, they will only increase any sweat production.
Natural Approach Is Best
Many of the traditional methods of treating hyperhidrosis, such as medical grade antiperspirants, iontophoresis, Botox etc., cannot be used for this type of excessive sweating due to risk of irritation or pain.
The best approach is the natural, holistic one. As a first suggestion, I would advise you to try the “raw food diet”. This is a diet that most closely approximates what human beings are supposed to eat and there are cases of hyperhidrosis sweaters who have been cured with this diet.
The other thing that you could try is one of the many holistic sweat reduction programs. They claim to eliminate your sweat within 2 weeks. You can find out more about those here: Natural Sweat Cures Revealed.
