Sweating during exercise is normal. Of course some sweat more than others, but the purpose is to regulate your bodies temperature. Do you eat a lot of salty foods or drink a lot of soda? Both contain large amounts of sodium which will cause the body to retain more than the necessary amount of water. This could account for the amount of sweat. Medication is for people that sweat profusely all the time, not just during exercise.\n\nOne other thing. You could be diabetic and not know it. Profuse sweating is one of the symptoms. Maybe you should have a doctor run some blood tests.

Humidity affects indirectly, probably as related to sweating to rid of fluid.  But your kidneys are the main fluid eliminators, usually through a salt exchange. You need to know what the salt-ie sodium and potassium levels are, as well as your protein in your blood. Your hormones can be involved, as well as circulation of your blood and lymphatics. Blood pressure could be involved.Support stockings may help if everything else checks out OK.

it is hyperhidrosis.\nyou have hyper sweat glands in your skin.\nparts affected: forehead/face, armpit, hands, feet.\ndoc says to use anti-perspirants. but if it still fails, an operation is required, an operation that will cut your sweat glands. but it can't promise a sucess always.\ni'll let you know if my case improves, cause i think maybe hormonal imbalance is somewhat connected to this condition, me will balance me hormones.

It's probably the humidity level. you "seem" to sweat more when the humidity is high because water cannot evaporate into the atmosphere. when the humidity is low your sweat evaporates quickly, leading you to belive that you didn't work hard enough.

Your body is trying to get rid of excess heat.  It dilates the capilaries in your skin to allow an increased blood flow so that the blood cools faster.\n\nYou probably don't sweat enough, or it's very humid when this happens.

Its just your body's reaction to arousal (by that I mean stress or excitement) If you sweat excessively, try a product called DRICLOR, you should be able to get it in your local chemist. (you apply it the night before and it completely stops you from sweating - armpit area anyway)

Sounds like a condition called Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  It most commonly occurs during times of anxiety, stress or when your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated i.e. fight or flight or adrenaline rushes. You can treat this condition with topicals such as aluminum chloride (Drysol) or antiperspirants.  There are other treatments which include orals, injections and even surgery.  A dermatologist would be able to help you with this situation.  Best of luck!

i'll tell you a secret, my friend had the same problem. if you go to your doctors and tell them they can prescribe you with a special deodrant that you can use on your armpits, hands and feet thats stops you sweating altogether. im trying to think what its called!! you put it on every other night and you don't need to use deodrant anymore. its brillant stuff, it's called anhydrol forte, go to your doctor and see what they say. good luck.

Excessive sweating could be related to a thyroid gland problem (over or under production) and I would recommend that he discusses these issues with his doctor.

Don't stop sweating. It is your bodies device to cool itself. The result would be dehydration. Your body chivers to warm itself. Try cutting down on your salt intake, if your blood pressure is allittle high.

If your deoderant is deoderant only, switch to an antiperspirant/deoderant. If thats what you already use, then they make antiperspirant/deoderants for heavy sweating. Check out the section in your drug store.

See a doctor. There are all kinds of treatments for sweating. I have even heard of botox injections at the sweat site. I have the same problem but fortunately, Certain Dry worked for me. If you were like me, it seemed that most deo and anti pers. made the sweating worse. The only way Certain dry worked was if I used it at night and then didn't put anything on in the morning. If I slipped and put regular deo and anti pers. on, it was all over because I would sweat all day long...whether it was hot or not and no way would I wear a sleeveless shirt! I still don't do that.  Good luck!

Sweat and heat causes the black heads the black marks could be you didn't get the pore cleaned out completely. Make sure you are not wearing anything to bed that could cause more heat or sweating and use baby powder or cornstarch to keep it dry and keep the chafing to a minimum. Also when you bathe make sure to use a loofah or scrubby thing to scrub the area free of dirt.You can also use an astringent.

Hyperhidrosis\n\nPrimary hyperhidrosis is the condition characterized by abnormally increased perspiration, in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. Some patients afflicted with the condition experience a distinct reduction in the quality of life. Sufferers feel at a loss of control because perspiration takes place independent of temperature and emotional state.\n\nHowever, anxiety can exacerbate the situation for many sufferers. A common complaint of patients is that they get nervous because they sweat, then sweat more because they are nervous. Other factors can play a role; certain foods & drinks, nicotine, caffeine, and smells can trigger a response (see also diaphoresis).\n\nThere is controversy regarding the definition of hyperhidrosis, because any sweat that drips off of the body is in excess of that required for thermoregulation. Almost all people will drip sweat off of the body during heavy exercise.\n\nHyperhidrosis can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body. Hands, feet, axillae, and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of body may be affected. Primary hyperhidrosis is found to start during adolescence or even before, and interestingly, seems to be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.\n\nPrimary hyperhidrosis must be distinguished from secondary hyperhidrosis, which can start at any point in life. The latter form may be due to a disorder of the thyroid or pituitary gland, diabetes mellitus, tumors, gout, menopause or certain drugs.\n\nPrimary hyperhidrosis is estimated at around 1% of the population, afflicting women more.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Cause \n2 Treatment \n3 Social effects \n4 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nCause\nIt is not known what causes primary hyperhidrosis. One theory is that hyperhidrosis results from an over-active sympathetic nervous system, but this hyperactivity may in turn be caused by abnormal brain function.\n\n[edit]\nTreatment\nHyperhidrosis can usually be treated, but there is no cure.\n\nSurgery (Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy or ETS): Select sympathetic nerves or nerve ganglia in the chest are either cut or burned (completely destroying their ability to transmit impulses), or clamped (theoretically allowing for the reversal of the procedure). The procedure often causes anhidrosis from the mid-chest upwards, a disturbing condition. Major drawbacks to the procedure include thermoregulatory dysfuction (Goldstien, 2005), lowered fear and alertness (Teleranta, Pohjavaara, et al 2003, 2004) and the overwhelming incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis. Some people find this sweating to be tolerable while others find the compensatory hyperhidrosis to be worse than the initial condition. It has also been established that there is a low (less than 1%) chance of Horner's syndrome. Other risks common to minimally-invasive chest surgery, though rare, do exist. Patients have also been shown to experience a cardiac sympathetic denervation, which results in a 10% lowered heartbeat during both rest and exercise. \nAluminum chloride (hexahydrate) solution: The most common brands are Drysol®, Maxim®, Odaban®, and Driclor®. Aluminum chloride is used in regular antiperspirants, but hyperhidrosis sufferers need a much higher concentration. A 15% aluminum chloride solution or higher usually takes about a week of nightly use to stop the sweating, with one or two nightly applications per week to maintain the results. An aluminum chloride solution can be very effective; some people, however, cannot tolerate the irritation that it can cause. Also, the solution is usually not effective for palmar (hand) and plantar (foot) hyperhidrosis. \nBotulinum toxin type A (trademarked as Botox®): Injections of the botulinum toxin are used to disable the sweat glands. The effects can last from 4-9 months depending on the site of injections. With proper
