Other possibilities: Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be a signal of thyroid problems, diabetes or infection.It is also more common in people who are overweight or out of shape.Some people naturally sweat more or less than others.Treating hyperhidrosis generally goes from otc antiperspirants to prescription antiperspirants, microwave destruction of sweat glands, Botox and surgery. Can consult dermatologist.
