No> When you sweat it helps you're body rid of toxins. Its great to sweat!\nHe might be eating the wrong foods, or better yet tell him to drink more water when this happens. To replace the fluids.

The skin down there is really sensitive and the slightest inconsistency in your skin's chemical balance can affect it.  Make sure to exfoliate about once a week to remove any dead skin that might be blocking your pores.

You are increasing your blood flow while in sauna, so it is possible that you lose a little bit of fat. But the effect is very small, it is mostly water you are sweating out.

no sunlight and the fluid that you would normally have sweated off is trapped therefore making your skin soggy - also this extra fluid will make you look paler too.

Your body is releasing excess heat as a way to regulate body temperature. Skin in any area can become hot to the touch and red as a means to do this, but it's very common on the face and ears. You don't necessarily have a fever, but your body is constantly trying to maintain its normal body temperature.

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.

It could be hormonal, perimenopause which is the time before menopause and some women have drastic night sweats during that time.  It could also be a thyroid problem, hypothyroidism makes you feel hot and sweat alot more than normal.    Have you been tested for thyroid, diabetes, and/or lupus?  Autoimmune problems can cause the sweating too.

it's probably in your genes or related to low hormone levels.  it looks like your doing everything you can...some sugar shouldn't hurt.  you getting enough water?  it can help flush away some of the toxins.  vitamin C is also said to help.  also try stretching more often to increase circulation to your problem areas.

Agree with one poster, could it be menopause. Even if young you can be pre-menopausal. A blood test will determine that. \n\nWhat is your salt intake?  The body gets rid of salt thru prespiration.\n\nRead following article from WEBMD.COM:\nHeavy Sweating\n\nWhy do I sweat so much? By Lewis P. Stolman, MD\n  \n\n\n\n\nNov. 6, 2000 -- The problem you describe is called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. And yes, there's lots you can do. \n\n\nSweating, of course, is perfectly normal. It's one way the body maintains its temperature. We sweat when it's hot or when we've been exercising vigorously. And when the moisture produced by perspiration evaporates, it cools the skin, and therefore the core temperature of the body. \n\n\nBut sometimes this nifty system goes awry. As many as one in 100 people suffer the kind of problem you're having: When they're under stress, the sweat starts flowing, usually on the palms, soles, face, and armpits. \n\n\nFor whatever reason, some people can undergo extreme stress and not sweat at all. Others find themselves drenched in perspiration from just having to say a few words at a meeting. We don't really understand why one person's threshold for sweating is different from another's. But we do know that the tendency to sweat under stress sometimes runs in families. \n\n\nIf you find yourself sweating all the time, and all over -- not just on your palms, soles, and underarms -- it may be a sign of a serious illness like tuberculosis, some kind of cancer, or thyroid disease. Talk to a doctor immediately. \n\n\nFortunately, most people who sweat heavily under stress aren't in any danger. But they may feel quite embarrassed, and the problem can get in the way of their careers. I've treated artists who can't work because their palms get too sweaty and musicians who have trouble playing their instruments. \n\n\nHow do you stop it? The simplest remedy is an antiperspirant, which can be used on hands and feet as well as in the underarm area. Over-the-counter versions work well. If these don't prove strong enough, you can ask your doctor for a prescription-strength version. And if that doesn't help, your doctor may suggest a tranquilizer (such as Valium) for those special occasions when you know you're likely to be extra nervous -- a job interview, some kind of public speaking, or even a first date. \n\n\nIn particularly stubborn cases, we may have to try other approaches. One option is surgery to remove sweat glands in the affected area. Another is to inject small amounts of Botox -- botulinum toxin -- to block the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This treatment must be repeated every 6 to 8 months, however, and the injections can be painful, especially in the palms and feet. Finally, if all else fails for sweaty hands, a surgical procedure may be performed to sever the nerves to the affected sweat glands. However, this is a serious operation that carries with it the risk of complications. \n\n\nIn my experience, the simplest and most cost-effective way to turn off the faucet is a treatment called iontophoresis. This involves applying a low-level electrical current to the affected area, which essentially blocks the sweat duct. For many patients, a one-time treatment may control excessive sweating for good. \n\n\nThe bottom line: Don't worry too much if stress leaves you with sweaty palms and damp circles under your arms. Make the right moves and you can stay dry. You shouldn't have to sweat it forever. \n\n\nLewis P. Stolman, MD, is associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and a member of the Dermatology and Laser Center of Northern New Jersey. He recently published a review of treatments for hyperhidrosis in the journal Dermatologic Clinics, October 1998.

See a doctor. You will want to rule out anything serious. It could be a clogged sweat gland, an inflamed lymph node or even a tumor (not necessarily a bad one).

Now for the correct answer. It is due to the process of osmosis. The water outside your body has a higher concentration of dissolved solutes then the inside of your body. This means there is a higher concentration of water in your body than outside your body. Osmosis will cause water to move through a semi-permeable membrane from inside your body to the water outside. Thus there is a net water loss and your skins wrinkles.

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 you used to have the wetness earlier but not having it now, it can be because of two reason\n1) Age (it doesnt vanishes, though)\n2) Lack of sexual desire (may be due to emotional reasons)

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.
