When people talk about hyperhidrosis, they are most likely talking about unjustifiable armpit sweat.  Indeed, when folk joke about sweat stains, it sometimes means somebody has dark spots on their garments around the armpits - as is the nature of many jokes, it’s only funny until you are the target of ridicule.  Sufferers of hyperhidrosis are not in any actual physical danger from the sweating itself, but rather suffer as a consequence of social conditioning.  They need to avoid embarrassment, and so they look for techniques to control their sweating.  Here are a few of the methods to do it. 

Wear a 100% cotton undershirt.  This will absorb the sweat and keep you from feeling clammy and sticky.  Also, it’ll preclude the moisture promenade passing straight into the outermost clothing, so you can avoid ugly stains.  Still, even if cotton is extraordinarily absorbent and breathable, it can get rather warm with an additional layer of clothing on. 
Use antiperspirants.  If the commercial brands you find in the superstore do not work for you, don’t give up.  Ask a dermatologist about prescription antiperspirants.  These super-powered sweat-stoppers have a high amount of aluminium chloride hexahydrate, a well-known effective antiperspirant.  Ensure you follow the doctor’s instructions to be used. 

Trim your armpit hair, or shave it off.  Hair does not only increase heat retention, it also traps bacteria which are answerable for digesting your sweat and causing the smell.  Trim, shave, wax, or whatever - just ensure you have as little hair in your pits as practical.  Your armpits will be in a position to cool quicker and you can worry less about having the bacteria there. 

Have quick access to some powder or absorbent tissue paper.  This will allow you wipe the sweat and forestall the smell from coming about.  Naturally, you will need a personal place to use this method, like a public restroom stall, so it is doing limit the flexibility of this method. 

Finally you might try non-invasive medical procedures .  Iontophoresis uses electrical currents to block the sweat pores with some minerals.  It takes a lot of visits initially and regular treatments later so it can be a bother.  Botox, more generally known for its use in cosmetic surgery, is also applied to stop hyperhidrosis.
