Sounds like a condition called Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  It most commonly occurs during times of anxiety, stress or when your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated i.e. fight or flight or adrenaline rushes. You can treat this condition with topicals such as aluminum chloride (Drysol) or antiperspirants.  There are other treatments which include orals, injections and even surgery.  A dermatologist would be able to help you with this situation.  Best of luck!

I have issues with sweating alot, especially in the summer.  I don't know how much time and/or money you want to spend on this but I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed an Aluminum Chloride solution for me to control the sweating.  I put it on at night before bed and then do my normal deodorant (which is Arrid Xtra Dry) in the morning.  \n\nIf you don't want the hassle of a dermatologist, there is a less potent over-the-counter Aluminum Chloride solution.  It's called "Certain Dry".  You can find it in the deodorant section of your local drugstore or wherever you buy deodorant.  It's the same as the prescription, however, my prescription is 20% and the Certain Dry is I think 10%.  \n\nI would suggest that you do a test run with the Certain Dry and your normal clear deodorant a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure that you don't have a reaction (and if you do - you have time to heal so there are no embarrassing marks).

Yes, I sweat but it doesn't increase armpit hair. I've never heard of that before. I don't have a problem with underarm hairs.

Ok, I know this sounds silly, but it works....just apply some underarm deodorant to the bottom of your feet.  If they get really sweaty....use a deodorant with anitperspirant.

change habits...after working with your hands...avoid washing it, rest your hands first at least 15 minutes...this is one of the many causes of hand sweating.\n\nalternatives for medication.\nhere in our country (Phil.) we believed when hands are sweating...people with such problem, they pee with their hands and eventually after doing so for a week or two...its gone sweating.\n\nJust try it...nothing to loose.

I used to have nervouse sweating just like you.  I tell you to get 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 anti-perspirant 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 not sweated under my arms for over ten years since starting to use this product, and nothing else was able to stop the nervous sweat.

It's a condition, you need to go to a dermatologist and get treatment for it.  I have pretty much the same problem.  I know for the underarms you can get botox that will last for approx 6 months and stop the sweating.  I know how embarrassing it is to walk around with pit marks under your arms in the winter time even, hard to find deodorants that work well, which by the way, I learned that switching back and forth from Dove to Degree helps some, but go to the doctor and see what they can do for you.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  http://www.ineed2know.org/sweating.htm  I hope this all helps and I feel for you, since I am there with you!!!  Good luck!

Don't be anxious about stopping it.  It is advised to taper off.  Replace with natural if your worried about night sweats and such.  Your body expects the change in hormones.

Oh jeez, I can relate to this question.\n\nIf this happens in crowds of people, as soon as you start becoming sweaty- take a 'breather' very quickly away from others, find a place to sit down & just foucs on breathing.  Listen to your heartbeat & concentrate on calming images.  I try to think of my gardens or other people's yards that I've seen.\n\nI used to get so worked up that I would have to leave our groccery store & send my then-BF (now Hubby) back into the Store to find my basket!\n\nI have never used drugs...did my own Bio-Feedback basically by telling myself that I COULD do this and there was NOTHING to Fear.   Lots of prayer, meditation, some Homeopathic meds & Herbal Supplements and time have helped me a great deal.\n\np.s.  I'm 39 now (started when I was 19) and even though I've more or less conquered them, still have episodes where I need to sit down and just concentrate...Hope this Helps you!  GOOD LUCK!!

actually sweaty hands when you're nervous is a normal thing. a normal reaction of the body. but i know a guy who is suffering from this problem, and not only when he's nervous but almost all the time . his hands never quit sweating. i read something that this is a well known problem and many people have it, my advise to u, wash your hands and feet in salty water three times a day and the problem will be gone before u know it.

Your skin has two types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands occur over most of your body and open directly onto the surface of your skin. Apocrine glands develop in areas abundant in hair follicles, such as your scalp, underarms and genitals.\n\nYou have between 2 million and 5 million eccrine sweat glands. When your body temperature rises, your autonomic nervous system stimulates these glands to secrete fluid onto the surface of your skin, where it cools your body as it evaporates. This fluid (perspiration) is composed mainly of water and salt (sodium chloride) and contains trace amounts of other electrolytes — substances that help regulate the balance of fluids in your body.\n\nApocrine glands, on the other hand, secrete a fatty sweat directly into the tubule of the gland. When you're under emotional stress, the wall of the tubule contracts and the sweat is pushed to the surface of your skin where bacteria begin breaking it down. Most often, it's the bacterial breakdown of apocrine sweat that causes a strong odor.\n\nWith that being said, if bacteria can breakdown sweat, then scientists should be able to do it as well.\n\nHow this is done, I don't know but here are a couple links regarding synthetic sweat.

NurseAnnie has the basic answer to this question... \n\nBut I have had this problem (hyperhydrosis) before, and I found an interresting cure! I had gone to the store to buy some antiperspirant (helps to reduce sweating, thereby reducing underarm smell), but grabbed the wrong stuff and ended up with just plain old deodorant (just a basic bacteria neutralizing agent to stop the smell). And guess what... I stopped sweating! Well, not stopped, but back to normal. I think I have a reaction to the aluminum or other compound in the antiperspirant.\n\nExperiment with different solutions. Salt crystals also offered good results. Look in the deodorant section of most pharmacies.

You might want to check out information on Social Phobia. This is one of the most common forms of anxiety disorders (more common than Agoraphobia). Over 7% of the population suffers from social anxiety disorder.\n\nIf you have social phobia you usually worry that others will notice your anxiety because of your blushing, sweating, shaking, or difficulty getting your words out, (for example).\n\nOther fears triggered by social situations include:\n\n    * I'll look uncomfortable or awkward\n    * I'll seem weird or strange\n    * I'll appear stupid or incompetent\n    * I'll look embarrassed\n    * I'll be boring\n\nThese fears tend to be triggered when just anticipating the social situation. You may also have noticed that, after the event, you often feel bad or worse when thinking about how you "performed". How you actually felt in the situation can play a big role in this "post-mortem". \n\nThe Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Association, a non-profit organization, seeks to educate about social phobia:\nhttp://www.socialphobia.org/\n\nThey list some good self help books here:\nhttp://www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/bookstore.html\n\nYou should talk with your doctor and ask for a referral to a psychologist who specailizes in Anxiety Disorders.

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.

Excessive sweating is called Hyperhidrosis. There can be many reasons for it, but the most common is a problem with the thyroid. \nAnother problem that sounds like the one that you are having is menopause. You did not tell me your age so I can not say for sure, but either way you need to go to your doctor and get a full work up.
