Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to be having palmoplantar hypohidrosis.
In my clinical practice I usually advise my patients to apply alumunium chloride hexahydrate solution( aldry/ keep dry lotion) in night over affected area and then should be washed off next morning with soap and water.
Usually after a week or two sweating decreases and then its use should be reduced to once or twice weekly.

If this doesnt help, one needs to go with procedures like tap water iontophoresis or botox injections.

Hope this helped.
Take care
