Could be hormonal: Hi. Of course you're in a hot place in a warming world. Hormone problems that can cause sweating include hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma (pheo is very rare; hyperthyroidism not so rare). Some people have idiopathic hyperhydrosis (people sweating excessively for no known reason). Is this a change for you, or have you always been a sweater? Any other symptoms?

Sweating: I am not familiar with the product which you referenced, but there is one called drysol, which is extraordinarily effective if used in their correct way.

Your doctor will tell you other techniques for potentiating this medicine or making it stronger.
