Hyperhydrosis: Common in adolescents. For armpit- use talcum powder or cornstarch, shave axilla, wear light color fabric. For foot: absorbant powder-zeasorb, avoid occlusive footwear, change socks frequently, light emolient to prevent drying. Can use otc drysol nightly 1 week, then less frequent. It blocks sweat gland pores. In worst case: dermatologists do low voltage electric current rx or botulinum toxin.
