sweating problem!?

recently i have been sweating a lot, all in my armpits. its very embarrassing and i cant get it to stop. it started when i was about 10 and I'm now 12. i just started sweating for no reason. even when i am cold i sweat. i have tried at least 5 different antiperspirants and none make a difference. i have even tried certindri (recommended by someone on another question about sweating). its clinical strength and is supposed to work for 76 hours. i have tried putting on just a little to see if that worked and iv tried putting on alot. nothing works. recently i have tried hiding it by wearing a jacket all day to provide as an extra layer of protection and it worked the first day but now it only makes me uncomfortably hot (my math class is like a million billion degrees). does anyone have a suggestion for me so i can raise my arms to answer a question or reach down to get my pencil when i drop it or wave high to someone without looking like my elbows are connected to my sides?

Update:

i have talked to my parents about it and i dont think its a medical problem

    My sister had the same problem and it was SO embarassing for her - she could only wear certain colored clothes otherwise the sweat patches would be too noticable.

    She had botox injections under each arm about 2 months ago and now doesn't really even need to wear deoderant..... BUT you are only 12 so I don't know if that's a great option for someone so young.

    I am sorry to say that I can not give you answer as to why you sweat so much. What I can tell you is that you should talk to your parents and then go see a doctor.

    Botox is used to treat excessive sweating
