Sweating: You may have an infection, heart disease, a hematological illness or due to spicy meals or various foods for supper.

Hyperhidrosis: This condition (excessive sweating) is called hyperhidrosis. It may affect the whole body or specific body parts like soles of feet, palms and head. Excessive head sweating is called cranial hyperhidrosis. As in case of other types (of hyperhidrosis), cranial hyperhidrosis can also be primary or secondary. See your doctor for help.
