Axillary Hyperhidrosis, aka Excessive Underam Sweating
If topical over the counter products don't work for you, a physician can prescribe 'prescription grade' topicals like Hypercare. If that doesn't control the amount of excessive sweating, then your options are oral anticholinergics and thereafter Botox injections. If you are seeking more permanent solution, go for miraDry.

Axillary hyperhidrosis
The word "axillary" essentially means "armpit" in medical-speak, so if you are researching ways to treat excessive sweating of your underarm or armpit area then "axillary hyperhidrosis" is a great search term to use.
If you are troubled by underarm sweating and the usual basic treatments (like deodorants and anti-perspirants) don't work then I'd recommend that you look into treatment with botulinum toxin.
