    I knew it was you, Allistalla. You have a very... distinctive way with words.

    No, sweating profusely all the time is not normal, it's called Hyperhidrosis. Anti-persperants tends to only deal with a small amount of sweat and body odour. If you're sopping wet like a fish straight out of water, no typical spray or roll-on can tackle that. You may want to look into an anti-perspirant containing Aluminium Chloride - you might have to get a prescription from a doctor though.

    Other, more drastic solutions, include botox, medication or surgery - this would obviously require a doctor look into the problem.

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend botox (or any surgery for that matter)... I don't really know what could help you with your problem though, sorry.

    Maybe you have social anxiety? Like when I walk in late to something and everyone starres at me, I start sweating like mad even tho I wasn't sweating a second ago. Also, when I work my body up ever so lightly like walking then sit down I sweat too. But when I'm not thinking about it or don't care, I don't sweat.

    Do you smoke?
    Does it only happen when it's hot? and if so, do you spend most of your time in an air conditioned room?
    I can offer you some tips, like try drinking water(start with 1 gallon a day depending on your weight, also try to increase your activity during the day ex. exercise\run.
    There are some products that can help you with underarm sweating like certain dri.

        Well try to eliminate caffeine(soda\coffee\tea) for a couple of weeks, while increasing your water intake and exercise (even if you're not overweight) and I assure you the sweating will decrease.
        By the way do you stress a lot?

    Profuse sweating can be a sign of some severe illnesses or cab be totally benign. If you're at all worried please go to a doctor. Legally (and morally) they cannot do anything without your permission. Plus I'm not sure which country you live in but they tend not to carry out screening tests on anyone visiting the doctors. They may advise you to come back another time to be screened but once again you can say no!

    I don't know how old you are exactly, but if you are 16 or older a drink once in a while really cannot hurt you if you know your limits you know. It's a matter of self-control. Anyone can have their own opinion about drugs since, like you said, they are illegal. I personally think some things are at least worth trying even if it's just for the experience.

        Haha I was not insinuating that you are just a kid don't worry, but really some stories around here seem like they have been posted by 12 year-olds right?

        anyway Its helpful that you don't drink coffee, it's all about keeping your heart-rate down a bit because that is what triggers sweating. You seem like a person who has a healthy lifestyle and that is really a good start, again because of the heart-rate thing.

        Just try to stay comfy and keep an eye on the way you dress and in time it WILL get more manageable. If you can afford it just try the botox treatment, it will (100 percent guaranteed IMO) at least get rid of the nasty arm-pit stains!

      Its not worthj braking tthe law getting a ticket i cant pay which you would know if you have read the other storys I have posted. Im not gonna say its not a big deal and get stabbed or go to jail becuase I fealt like being stupid and braking the law that clearly says not to if my lifes in mortal danger than maybe Ill defend my self but Im not going to be a idiot and go to jail becuase i fealt like saying fuck you to the goverment and the law system if I have a option not to . Its not worth going to jail and since I am a adult I already posted since everyone here is suppose to be 18 why does no one get that 18 and up I CAN ONLY BE 18 and up you are suppose to be a adult on this site so that means I am not a child most the poeple on this site are not children and the ones who are lied . Also I dont drink coffee becuase I dont care about it , its not great to me its ok and I prefere tea and soda and fruit drinks . so Im somwere between that and 100 . I say 18 to 100 becuase most poeple dont live to age 100 and 18 is the age limit of adults .

    It's not normal but kind of common nonetheless I guess, I have a similar problem, not as bad as you but when faced with physical labor, uncomfortable situations or taks that require high concentration I tend to sweat more than people around me. I have had the botox injections in my armpits which is a very good solution to at least get rid of the nast pit-stains.

    However, I work out a lot and since the botox merely forms a barrier it decreases in effectivity quite fast, but for a woman I think it's really a great short-term solution.

    I personally have turned to wearing a bit wider clothing which gives my body some breathing room, which helps a lot.

    Like other posters already suggested coffee and cigarettes are a no-go because it stimulates sweating, so lay off those during the day.

    Other than that I would suggest that you keep yourself comfortable (regarding clothing and company) and if someone asks about it just be honest about that you have this issue, it's really a minor thing.

    Oh by the way, I have found that excessive drinking and/or drug use dries out the body which will instantly stop you from sweating as well... just saying ;)

        I think that you should go to a check up and see what the problem is. I don't think doctors want to stick needles inside of you. I'm not a professional, I'm merely saying that it doesn't sound normal to sweat profusely. Although, you could try exercising more, that way sweat leaves your body faster. But I do recommend seeing a doctor.

          Eh, I looked it up most common thing possible would be low blood sugar even in that case I do not like doctors and now its manditory do blood , urine , papsmure and testicle check for regulaur check up which they never did reguarly before , so I kindve not comfortable to begin with but now they added all this other unnescary stuff to check ups and I just do not want to go . Apperently too they have this new law about they check you for aids everytime you go for a check up Im totally against that I know for a fact I do not have Aids and thier no way I couldve contract it considering I have a deadly fear of needles anyhow so thats why I am so against going I have a computer anyways ill solve it with this bueitiful thing .

            Last time I went to the doctor was 2yrs ago so I guess this new law must be recent. Honestly, if you looked it up then I guess the problem is solved, although I don't see why you had to ask the question if you had the internet. Well, try to keep your blood sugar high then.
