I find that I have a problem with excessive sweating. Whenever I go to college as soon as I meet up with my friends I start sweating proffusely and it doesn't stop until I get home. I have had this problem for a while now and it is affecting me as I am uncomfortable in my clothes as they always end up soaked under my armpit and find it very embarrassing.

You can try a strong deodorant called driclor which is available over the counter in most good pharmacies. You apply it at night to dry skin and wash it off in the morning. You can reduce the frequency of using it as the condition improves. For other options see our article on sweating.
