Bubbly,
Here is a list of remedies that have worked for others.
Good luck.
Topical antiperspirants (deodorants) can be applied to hands, armpits and feet. This hyperhidrosis treatment option is non-invasive, but needs to be applied daily (or more frequently) to the affected area. For many people, this treatment is only moderately effective, and often quite inconvenient.
Anticholinergic drugs can be prescribed for hyperhidrosis. These drugs tend to dry-up bodily secretions. They have a number of significant side effects, including effects on the cardiovascular system (rapid heart beat), dry mouth, dizziness, somnolence, and blurry vision. They are contraindicated in patients with certain disease conditions, such as glaucoma, urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, kidney disease, and intestinal conditions.
Psychotherapy and biofeedback techniques have also been tried in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. These options are largely ineffective because hyperhidrosis is not typically a reflection of a psychiatric illness or a nervous disorder.
Iontophoresis is a technique whereby the affected area of the body (i.e., the hands) is immersed in a solution through which a small electrical current is passed. This option needs to be repeated frequently. It is time-consuming and is only moderately effective, if at all.
Botox injections into the skin of the affected area are another option for hyperhidrosis. These injections need to be repeated every few months. They are very costly, and when used on the hands, muscular weakness can result.
If all the above fail this is always an option!
Surgeons can reliably control palmer hyperhidrosis in a permanent fashion by means of a thoracic sympathectomy, an operation during which a chain of nerve ganglia (the sympathetic chain) in the chest is interrupted. Sometimes, excessive perspiration in other areas (feet, armpits) is also helped by this hyperhidrosis surgical procedure.

I suffered with sweaty and cold hands for years. In my time, there was really no remedy for it, but the deodarant one sounds pretty good. As I got it older, it just disappeared, so I don't know if it's hormonal or what.

You are right it is annoying. -- Your best bet is to google PALMER HYPERHIDROSIS. -- There are several treatments listed there. --- If you are a young person, I urge you to do something about it now. -- Not suffer a whole lifetime as I did. -- good luck
