Why do armpits sweat even when the rest of the body does not?
Armpits have a high concentration of eccrine sweat glands and are particularly responsive to emotional and stress triggers through the sympathetic nervous system, independent of body temperature. This is why armpit sweating occurs in cool, air-conditioned rooms and during low-activity situations. The mechanism is neurological rather than thermoregulatory in these cases, which is why standard "sport" or "heat-triggered" formulas often underperform for people whose heaviest sweating happens at their desk. Clinical-strength aluminum chloride reduces gland output regardless of what triggered it.
