I am guessing that you're in USA? I'm in London, where we found 2 good solutions to this problem when my daughter had it. First of all, know it'll stop once all your hormones settle down. But whilst you wait to grow out of it, go to your pharmacy and ask for a perspiration blocker. They are aerosols, just like a normal deodorant, but really keep you dry all day.The other thing available here is a pad....worn like a bra, but it goes under your arms and soaks up all the sweat. No more staining! You just wash them out at night and they're dry in minutes. Good luck! But it WILL go away soon, I'm sure.

You need to buy Anti-perspirant.  Deodorant just masks the B.O.

I am not a doctor, but my sister once had this problem. I'll share with you what helped her.\n\nSo, the way my sister treated this was to find out what the cause of the sweating was. It turned out that her anxiety was causing it. Yes, anxiety about life and stuff in general (school, work, and so on). Do you think you are anxious often? It's a common cause of excessive sweating for people, but it's treatable.\n\nAnyway, the best thing you could do right now is get yourself in to see a doctor. You need a professional opinion to actually isolate the cause. Remember to do this! In the meantime, though, you could pick up some special talc from the supermarket, chemist, or other vendor. This product has cornstarch in it and is often used on babies. My sister tells me that this will stop most of your sweating, so go out with confidence and good luck!

I am in the medical profession and I can tell you firsthand that you are not the only person who suffers from this kind of problem, and I am well aware it can be very embarrassing.  I have done some research on this topic and I remember reading people suggesting different things, like crystal deodorant sticks, etc.  But there is only one thing that I have found to actually work, and work well.  I was very skeptical at first, but was quickly proved wrong.\n\nThe product is called Odaban.  It's a spray that comes in a little bottle.  You spray it on at night to the area or areas that are affected by excessive sweating.  You aren't supposed to use very much of it, just one spray per area I think.  You can also spray the stuff onto a piece of cotton and apply it that way for a more controlled application.  There are more directions on the site for its use.  You don't have to use it every day once it starts working, you only need to use it once or twice a week to "maintain" its effects.  \n\nI'm not sure exactly how it works, but it does work, I promise.  You can use it on any area of the body, but don't get it in your eyes, and make sure you wash hands well after using it.  It is not very expensive.  I don't know where you live, but it's shipped from the UK.  Even with shipping it only costs $15.    \n\nI'm providing you with the link at the bottom.  The other link is one person who had a problem with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) talking about his experience with Odaban.  PLEASE at least give this stuff a try.  It is so worth it.  I have seen it work for other people.  In as little as a week you might not ever have to worry about this again.\n\nBest of luck to you.\n\nP.S.  Like the next poster said, don't listen to that person who said to stop drinking so much water.  Water is essential to your body, and drinking less water will not help you sweat less, it will just make you sick if you get dehydrated in the heat.

I got crap from people in high school (in the locker room before and after P.E.) for not having hairy arms.  With me, it just took time.  I'm almost 30 now and still have hair popping up in new places.  Just relax about it, because you can't control it.

take a little bit of talc powder(baby powder) and pat some under your arms in the morning after your deodorant is dry.  Bring it to school (they have travel size) and use it in between classes.  It makes you feel dry and helps with wetness.  Also if you feel dry them you will not worry so much about it and thus sweat less.\n\nyou can also try spray on deodorant after activity.

Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

Dear Swampy,\n\nSomeone with more knowledge on the subject may tell you to stay away from such treatments, but I have a friend that got botox treatments for her underarms to reduce sweating.\n\nDoesnt sound completely healthy to me, preventing your body from performing a natural reaction (cooling your body) but if your worried about the amount you sweat, may be worth checking out.

Some people just sweat more than others, in different spots than others. I knew a friend who have severe sweating on his forhead. \nBut if you think its somthing that is really bothering you and would like to get it fixed.\n\nhttp://www.curesweatypalms.com/excess-sweating.shtml\n\nGo here, in some cases the sweating is from a medical condition.

Its not usually caused by the birth control.  You should go in and speak with your doctor.  I have it in other places as well.  My underarms have been dark for years, long before I started taking BC.  If it is caused by your BC then its easy to fix that, just change to another one.  It can also be a sign of having high blood sugar related to diabeties or pre-diabeties.  Speak with your doctor about different options you may have.

My advice would be to talk with a doctor, because I sort of have the same thing except I cannot stand not having hand lotion...dry skin or sand or dried mud or talcum powder or anything else makes my skin crawl. And about going to school- I used to feel panicky when I am around groups, especially large groups of people. I now take a drug called Klonopin. It has helped my social anxiety a lot...But I have not found a cure for the dry hands thing.
