My mother has a friend that never really sweat. but lately hes been sweating for no reason. he is very skinny. but do anybody have any idea why?

Many possibilities: Sweating for no reason can happen for any number of reasons. Infection is probably the most common, especially when associated with fever. Other things can too, though, including thyroid problems, cancers (especially if associated with unexplained weight loss), and sugar problems. Sounds like your mom's friends needs to speak to a doctor about this!

Sweating: Unusual sweating needs to be checked out by his doctor. One possibility is thyroid imbalance. Please encourage him to see his doc. Peace and good health.
