What Is Hyperhidrosis?

I’m a 15 year old girl, and this problem ruins my everyday social life.

I really, really, really hate it. I will be sitting in class, doing nothing but paying attention to the teacher, and my shirt is soaking with sweat. It sucks because it’s visible. I have to sit there with my shoulders clenched tightly to the rest of my body, and I have to constantly tuck my shirt under my armpits so no one can see it.

IT IS SO EMBARRASING! It makes me hate myself, I don’t know what to do about it.

I mean… I can ask my mom to take me to the doctor for it, but she won’t take this seriously. SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW BAD IT IS! I SWEAT FOR NO REASON AT ALL
I am sitting here typing by my computer and I just touched my armpits and I am sweating a lot.

This is not normal, is it? I was thinking it’s hyperhidrosis, but I don’t know because my palms don’t “drip with sweat” only my armpits do.

OH and I also turn bright red really easily, if that could add to the conclusion of why I am sweating excessively.

Any help/tips/ideas?

THANKS
