Answer 1

There is a condition called hyperhidrosis caused by hyperactive sweat glands. Sometimes deodorants and antiperspirants aren't enough to alleviate the problem. Botox is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is not adequately managed with topical agents. It helps control the condition by temporarily blocking the chemcial signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.

Answer 2

How much you sweat depends on how many sweat glands you have. A person is born with about two to four million sweat glands. The glands start to become fully active during puberty. Women actually have more sweat glands then men -- the men's glands are just more active.

Because sweating is the body's natural way of regulating temperature, people sweat more in when it's hot outside. People also sweat more when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.

If sweating is accompanied by fever, weight loss, chest pain, shortness of breath, or a rapid, pounding heartbeat, talk to a doctor. These symptoms may indicate an underlying problem, such as hyperthyroidism. Excessive sweating may also be a symptom of menopause

Answer 3

It could be a thyroid or hormonal issue (hyperthyroidism jumps into the forefront of my mind). It could also be diabetis. Whoever it is should go to the doctor.
