    Sweating
    Im 11 and this excessive sweating started in February. I got my first period like 2 weeks ago. Annyways, I told my mom and she said, don't worry, nothing is wrong. But I have been sweating like crazy! And this only happens at school. This summer, I didn't have to worry at all. And when I come back to school it starts again! I don't understand what is wrong with me! Will. Baby powder help? And I seem
    To sweat when in worrying about this and I'm sooo scared to wear annything I'm scared to wear nice clothes. What will stop this! Help!!

    Have you had a physical lately? There are over the counter antiperspirants you can try, but you should rule out health issues by speaking to your doctor.

    Do you use antiperspirants? Does your mom buy them for you? You shouldn't be using deodorant, but antiperspirants. You put it on, and it helps you stop sweating, at least under your arms.

    To me this sounds like nervous sweat. It happens to most people when they're nervous. The fact that you went all summer with no issues, but started having issues once you got back to school, shows that it's likely due to nerves. Happens to everyone.

    Definitely mention this to your doctor the next time you go, but in the meantime ask your mom to buy you an antiperspirant. You may have to try a few before you find one that works for you.
