What Causes Excessive Sweating?
Hi, I am 27 year old female and weigh 75 KGS with a height of 5 5 . I sweat a lot especially on my forehead back and stomach and have major issues with hot weather. At times, when I enter AC rooms, I take a while to get used to the cold and sweat this while. That subsides after a few minutes and I get normal. Please help why do I sweat so much.

Hi.. first of all, you need to reduce weight and do some regular excercise. Are you excercising regularly? Meanwhile, you may consult a dermatologist who can prescribe you certain anti-cholinergic medicines like oxybutanin. These drugs do reduce sweating, but cause dryness of mouth as side effect. Also, these drugs cant be continued for a long time. You should reduce weight and do some regular excercise. Thanks
