If you go to the bottom of this page, you'll see some other threads that might give you some helpful information.

Have you checked with your doctor to make sure there's not some other medical problem/side effect from meds, etc?

Hi
Me and my daughter started with this sweating thing about 13. Sounds like it would be worth a trip to dr's just to rule out other stuff.
My daughter copes a little with her underarm sweating by putting a t.shirt under her school uniform and finds the Dove 48 hour antipersperant ( about £5 from supermarket or Boots) does help.Her hands really bother her badly but 4 months of using iontophoresis hasn't helped but we'll keep trying stuff to make it manageable for her.
Good luck and I found this forum a lifeline while dealing with this,there's so much info on here.
Xx

hyperhidrosis is simply a hyper = more hidros = sweat
if you sweat more than the others you got hh so simple
