Use a good quality underarm deodorant which has alum in it and avoid synthetic clothing material. You will be OK

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is treatable. As above, over the counter anti perspirants with aluminum should help. Answer the questions on this form. https://www.sweathelp.org/pdf/HDSS.pdf If your score is 3-4, you have hyperhidrosis. Talk to your primary care provider, they can prescribe you aluminum, or give you an anti-cholinergic like oxybutynin or glycopyrrolate
