Hyperhydrosis.
Talk to your physician. The prescription stuff is called Drysol. It is a solution of 20% Aluminum chloride (which is different than many, if not all, anti-perspirants, which use aluminum zirconium) in anhydrous (no water) ethyl alcohol. When you put this on your hands (or feet/armpits, etc), the ethyl alcohol evaporates quickly, and the aluminum chloride does its work.
It does work, but you gotta be consistent on using it. The very strange thing is, my problem lies in the armpits, hands, and feet. But I only use the Drysol on my hands and it takes care of the rest......no explanation for that one.
Over the counter options:
Certain-Dri: 12% Aluminum chloride in water and sodium bicarbonate. The water won't evaporate as quickly as ethanol, so I would recommend getting a prescription for Drysol, which is stronger as well (12% vs. 20%)
