Its called hyperhydrosis, a condition where people sweat excessively.
The conventional treatments like Botox and surgery look kinda scary.
Women should also be careful using the strong antiperspirants which contain lots of aluminum as they can cause breast cancer.
Use baking soda on the armpits to control odor. They also sell pads that can be used to absorb the perspiration.

Maxim deoderant is the most effective out of all the deoderants. She should try that if she hasn't already. If still no help, then she should go to a doc. A physician can prescribe Drysol. It is a special topical medicine that you just apply to the affected areas once a day at bedtime for the first few days then once or twice a week after that. It should help a great deal. But If that doesn't work, the newest craze is botox injections in the armpit. It is actually very effective. Beyond those treatments, there are different therapies usually depending on the cause and triggers of the condition. Sometimes an oral medication is used:propranolol is used for stress-induced sweating and Robinul is sometimes used for people who have strong emotional triggers associated with their sweating (but has annoying side effects like bad cotton mouth). Hope this helped.

you can have collagen injected into the pores to stop sweating although this can be quite expensive and isn't permanent.
