You MIGHT have what I have. It is called hyperhydrosis. Hyperhydrosis means that you have overactive sweatglands. Go to your dermatologist and s/he might prescribe you something called Aluminum Chloride. It's awesome. I used to use but I moved onto a type of pill. Its a pill that dries out your whole body. It doesnt hurt or anything. Your mouth just gets dry in the morning. After a while, my body got used to the pills. Now, every 3-4 months, I go to the dermotologist and he gives me shots of botox for under my arms. It prevents sweating. But if it's not that, Ban and Certain Dry work good for most.
*P.S. Hyperhydrosis doesn't mean you have sweat stains to your waist. It just means you have over-active sweat glands. You aren't necessarily drowning in sweat. [ BeFABULOUSxo's advice column | Ask BeFABULOUSxo A Question ]

My advice is shower in the morning when you wake up, at night before you go to bed, and after every practice and game. If that doesn't work, see a doctor about medicated deodorant because you could have extra sweat glands. The black may also be worsening the problem so wear brighter colors (if of course you want to and you feel comfortable).
I hope that helps.
