Sweaty hands?
Question:
Shes also just hitting puberty but has no yet started her period. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Answers:
Try looking up palmar hyperhidrosis. If her hands are always sweaty regardless of what she does she may have this condition. It is not life threatening as far as I know. But it can be embarrassing for some.
I found the following information at Cedars-Sinai Center for Chest Diseases website.
"Background
Sweating is normal, but palmar hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating of the hands. Excessive sweating of the face, underarms, groin and feet may also occur. This is not a case of being nervous. This is a physiologic condition caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. It occurs in about 1% of the population and may be hereditary.
Hyperhidrosis can be very embarrassing and debilitating. It usually begins in childhood. Moist hands cause sufferers to avoid social contacts, such as shaking hands. Teens may be embarrassed to date or participate in social activities. Writing a letter can be an impossible task because so much sweat pours from the hand to the paper. Employees may have trouble gripping equipment. This excessive sweating may be related to heat or stress, but it often occurs for no particular reason. "
who knows, i've always been told that sweaty hands come from nervousness, unless your cousin is always nervous (which i seriously doubt) then i dont know what to tell you
