A member asked:

I've recently noticed that my hands and feet are sweating a lot more than they used to. should i be worried? i've never been much of a sweaty person.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not to worry: Sweat glands controlled by nerves. If you are nervous or stressed you may sweat more. Climate may also have an effect. Learn to stay calm and it should get better. There are antiperspirants available like certain dri and ostiderm that reduce sweating.
