excessive sweating is caused by a condition called hyperhidrosis. i know because i have it in my palms, which really sucks in a lot of aspects of life, especially holding hands. so, i know what you're probably going through right now since i have it too. i'm a high school student and i was at the dermatologist with my mom for a checkup for something else, and i just mentioned it to the dermatologist right then and there without telling my mom before cus i didnt want to be embarassed about it before. i had researched it a little so i just asked him if he could prescribe something for hyperhidrosis, and he didnt even ask any questions, he was just like "sure" and he prescribed this thing called "drisol" which really helps but it unfortunately dries out your skin. there are a lot of different types of medicine for this condition, and if you did a google search for hyperhidrosis you could probably find a lot of things that could help you.

i'm sorry i can't help with telling your mom, because i basically avoided it and told the doctor though my mom happened to be in the room

I am a Mum, my daughter who was 14 at the time had the same problem as you with sweating. I spoke with my daughter about it and we went to the Dr, she is nearly 19 now and it has cleared up. Every now and then she has the same problem and she uses the deoderant prescribed for her. Do not use it every day as it can be dangerous. Talk to your mum. she may not want to say anything to you first as she may not think it's a problem for you. Your mum loves you and i bet she is trying to figure out a way to talk to you about this too, go on talk to her!!

You shouldn't be embarrassed! Your Mom can probably really help. If you really don't want her help just try a couple of different antiperspirants. Good luck!!!

excessive sweating is actually a medical condition. Look it up under WebMd.com There are some shots or some medicines you can take for this condition. See a doctor if it is affecting your everyday life. good luck.

This problem may be inherited, so your mom or dad may have had the same thing as a teen. Talk to her. Why wouldn't she understand?
