My 16yr old persperatetion is out of control! he's 5'9 at 135 and we've tried many different deodorants and nothing helps, what can we do!

Hyperhydrosis: Means excessive sweating due to a hyperactive sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. It could be as simple as lousy diet or a more serious genetically determined cause. Since most teenagers do have a lousy diet, try getting him to clean it up. If this does not apply, seek local help.
