A member asked:

My feet sweat when they are cold, why does this happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: You may have hyperhidrosis which can affect both hands and feet. This is excess sympathetic nervous function. This can be corrected by thoracoscopic sympathectomy. First see a neurologist to be assessed to see if you are a candidate for procedure.
