Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to hyperhidrosis.
I suggest using an antiperspirant instead of a deodorant.
A prescription antiperspirant that can be helpful is Drysol.
The most commonly used medications for managing excessive sweating are anticholinergics.
These include medicines such as glycopyrrolate or oxybutynin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
