    It's probably a condition called hyperhidrosis. You can have it of arms, hands, feet or groin. In severe cases you sweat 5x as much as others and most "clinical strength" antiperspirants won't do, you have to consult a doctor

    Try that clinical kind, cost a lil more than regular deodorant but works for some who sweat bad under their arms, like me.. :)

    There are a few different things you can do. There are clinical strength anti-perspriants you can buy over the counter. If those don't help you can talk to your doctor to get an even stronger perscription anti-perspriant. There are also more invasive measures you can take including surgery, it's something you will need to talk to your doctor about and don't try that first. This is a very common problem in a lot of women. Your sweat glands are just over active. I completely feel for you though, I have had this problem for years.
