What does it mean when your feet start suddenly sweating but the rest of your body is cool? i don't want sweaty feet. is it psychological or physical?

Hyperhidrosis: Hello, Sweaty feet are usually a result of over active sweat glands in the feet. These are usually the apocrine glands and they tend to produce a secretion with odor. It becomes a vicious cycle when the bacterial flora present on the skin feed off of this. There are a few remedies for this, many can be OTC. Consult a specialist if you need for help. Feel better!
