Hyperhidrosis: Sounds like you're describing hyperhidrosis which is excessive sweating (http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/hyperhidrosis/). There are many options including prescription strength antiperspirants, medications to dry up sweat glands, even Botox etc. If all else fails, surgeons can clip nerve that leads to sweat glands but this is obviously a big deal. First things first. Go see your doc for an evaluation.
