 You've got palmar hyperidrosis. Nothing that a good dermatologist can't fix.
According to the gravity of your symptoms, he may suggests an aluminum clorure cream,or drugs like Lexil, or acupuncture, Botox injections, micro-invasive surgery,etc.
Just go to see a specialist.

 Hi Mizz USA, It is a lot more common than you think but I understand how these sorts of issues can affect your confidence. Hand sweating I believe is called: Palmar Hyperhidrosis (I just looked it up to be sure, and yes, that is its 'formal' name if you prefer). I know it may be difficult for you to approach your Doctor but he/she I assure you, will be happy to help you and try to get the best results. There are many varied solutions to help control excessive sweating so what works for one girl or boy, may not work for you so don't expect a miracle overnight! Hope it goes well: here is the link:- http://www.excessive-sweating.net/hand_sweating.htmlPS: I just remembered something from many years at Primary School in Infants (4-5 years old), I had a best friend called Robert who suffered the same thing as well as another inflammatory skin problem on his hands so he used to always keep his hands in his pockets, even when running in the playground the poor boy! PPS: Also, a lovely boyfriend of mine, whilst I was out working in Ohio, suffered extremely badly but they didn't have all the new medicines, tablets or even Botox jabs (!) back then so he must have had at least twenty showers per day!!See! That's already two people I know.Dr. Izabell
