It is important that you make sure you are not allergic to its ingredients. If you are planning to get pregnant, or are allergic to some medicine or foods, you should be even more aware to check the ingredients in Drysol before usage.
Before you start using Drysol, you will need to keep your armpit area completely dry, and also ensure that you do not apply it on irritated or recently shaved skin. The recommended dosage for Drysol is 2 to 3 nights. Unlike most of the antiperspirants, Drysol is usually applied at night when your sweating is least active. As you get better results and start seeing less sweat, you can reduce the dosage to about one or two times per week. Always remember to wash your underarms thoroughly when you wake up in the morning. Other than using Drysol on your underarm area, you can also apply it to stop excessive sweating in other areas like your hands, feet and head.
Like most antiperspirants, Drysol can also cause side effects. These can include irritation, burning or itching of the skin area where you have applied Drysol onto. Always consult your doctor to make sure that any antiperspirants you plan to use will not cause any side effects, or that you are able to deal with the side effects.
One of the treatment methods I have used successfully to stop excessive sweating is by natural remedies. This method involves using readily available products at home that are applied every morning and night.
