A member asked:
What can cause sweating only where skin touches skin (eg knees together) when sleeping. its only just started occuring & i'm not too warm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sweating: Localised sweating where skin touches skin in warmish conditions is not unusual or necessarily indicative of pathology. Heavy and generalized night sweats is a different matter and can be seen in fever, infections, estrogen deficiency, hyperthyroidism and malignancies as well as taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) or aspirin products at bedtime.
