Answer
Hi Katie,
If you only have sweaty armpits try a stronger form of antiperspirant called DRYSOL. It IS powerful and could irritate your armpits but it should stop the sweating. If your palms, soles of your feet and armpits are sweating then that is an entirely different problem and needs to be treated in other ways.
