There are lots of different things that can cause sweating problems such as yours.  I strongly suggest talking to your doctor about possible solutions.

Wow, thanks Malkin! Unfortunately, my mom believes that "it's just a horomonal thing", and that it'll pass. Being 14 sucks. 

She may be quite right.  You probably will just grow out of it.  Still, it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side and get a doctor's opinion.

"Yeah, I have this sweating problem....blah...."

Like that? I'm afraid of the doctor! 

Yes, like that!  You oughtn't be afraid of your doctor; he or she is there to help you! 

Perhaps it would help you to make a list before you go in.  Write down all the things that cause you to sweat, how much you sweat and for how long, and where you sweat from.  Then you can either just hand the list to your doctor, or at least have a clearer idea of what you want to say to him or her.

Good luck!

Well here's the thing. I guess I don't really have a reason to start sweating... it just happens. Like my hands. Right now... all sweaty. I was looking at the website... stopsweat.com. It says that it can be used for "Teenagers or adults experiencing horomonal changes". Bingo, I guess, however it says that it's available OTC, and it's probably less "potent" than the DrySol my mom lets me borrow (yes, it's probably genetics). Any suggestions? :?:

my dad had it from early teens till he was about 18, and i got it too..it sucks.  i just cant wait till im 18 to stop the damn palm sweat, but you could wear gloves-the big rubber yellow ones! how sweet would that be?

Dude, you play the bass clarinet!! That's awesome! That's what I'm playing right now in symphonic band, and it's helped my soprano playing a ton. I discovered breath support because of it!

Try oboe or english horn or bassoon...  Then you'll learn the meaning of good breath support AND good embachore (can't spell it, never seen it written, basically, it's the way your lips are placed on a mouthpiece/reed).

Man, I got my first boyfriend in the second grade...

That's normal here in Minnesota!  We need to keep warm!

The hospital's a great place...

::scoffs:: Try TRUMPET. Now that's where it matters. We only have 3 keys and need to get 3 octaves out of that.
I'm 16. I've been sweating quite a bit since I was, like 12. It's embarassing, especially since I'm overwieght, althoug there's no doubt in my mind that that has SOMETHING to do with it. Yeah, it's embarrassing, especialy at dances. But it helps you root out your real friends. Like there were these two girls, both older than me. One hugged me at a dance, I was sweating, and she was like "ew". Then the other hugged me and she didn't care.

If you don't want the sweat to show or to stop it or whatever I recommend going from deodarant to anti-persperant.  Although some crazy experiment says anti-persiperant can lead to cancer, like everything now adays.
