Answers:
You might want to see your doctor to see if you suffer from hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating that occurs in up to 1% of the population. The excessive sweating can occur in the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), in the armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis), or in the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). Although nobody understands the exact cause of this excessive sweating in specific individuals, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. There are ointments and salves available (i.e., Drysol) that are astringents that tend to dry up the sweat glands. Another treatment is iontopheresis. This consists of a treatment of electrical stimulation, usually in the hands. Patients place their hands in a bath through which an electrical current is passed. This treatment tends to "stun" the sweat glands and can decrease the secretion of sweat for periods of 6 hours to one week. One of the most recent treatments proposed is the injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the area of excessive sweating. This is a toxin that affects nerve endings and decreases the transmission of the nerve impulses to the sweat glands thus resulting in decreased sweating. It generally requires several injections in the palms or underarms and it remains effective from one to six months. Repeated injections are nearly always required to maintain an adequate level of dryness.
In addition to the above treatments, many medicines have been utilized with varying success. These include both sedatives (in those patients with stress-induced hyperhidrosis) and medications that affect the nervous system. A family practitioner or internist often begins the initial treatment for hyperhidrosis. Cases not responding to simple treatment regimens are often then referred to a specialist such as a dermatologist or neurologist. In general, surgery is contemplated only when the less invasive medical treatments have failed to provide adequate treatment. Please see your doctor to determine if this is the problem.

Use alcohol. Or use a better anitperspiant, not just deodarent
Botox shots help with profuse sweating.
you should buy better deodorant that helps with sweating to prevent it
Use a better antiperspirant/deodorant.
I would be lost without my Secret Solid, it is the only thing that keeps me dry.
If no antiperspirants are working for you, it might be a problem you need to talk with the doctor about.
It probably is a weight issue. I used to sweat a lot. WHen I got up from a chair there was a sweat imprint of my butt!
I lost 10 pounds and that doesn't happen anymore. Fat means extra energy, extra energy means extra heat, extra heat means sweat.
