I am a hyperhidrosis sufferer, I sweat excessively. I have no choice but to use high strength antiperspirants that are high on aluminum. Aluminum blocks the sweat glands in my under arm which is what I want; works pretty good in stopping the sweat. However I have read that blocking your sweat glands in itself is a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). There is no cure for this condition, according to my research. So my question is, is it safe to use high strength antiperspirants?
