Abnormal sweating?
Question:
Answers:
You may be suffering from hyperhidrosis. I suffer from this and have been since I was 13. Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating unrelated to heat. As you described, you will sweat even when it is cold outside. My dermatologist told me this condition was genetic. I had hand, armpit, and feet sweating. It would get so bad, that I was embarassed to shake someone's hand or even be seen out in public because I would have dark sweat stains on my shirt. There are many treatments for this including pills, botox injections, and even surgery. I don't know how bad your sweating is or if it is causing you any public embarassment, but I'd speak with a dermatologist. My doctor said it was partially hormonal which explains why you and I started sweating around puberty. I take Ditropan XL which is an anticholineric drug that is used to treat over active bladder. I don't have that condition but the side effect of the med. causes a decrease in sweating. I'm 21 yrs old and have been taking it since I was 13. Speak to your doctor about what's right for you.
You sound like you need to see a doctor for either circulation problems. Everybody has hot & cold reactions and say put on a sweater because they are cold like me when it rains or people who say it's too hot when it's 60% outside & they use to live in Alaska. It's body temperature & what are bodies take and don't take. See someone on your circulation (esp because you but socks or gloves on & it stops & possibly an endocronologist your hormeones may be way off. It's like getting a bad hotflash and it's already 90 degress out. It happens & good luck!!
