Brief Answer:
Get Thyroid Functions.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
If not done get your thyroid Function test done.
If your thyroid function and your BP are normal then this is Idiopathic Hyperhidrosis.
As such no treatment is indicated or infact available to control the sweating.
But you should maintain cleaniness to avoid any fungal infection. Make sure that you always dry up properly after taking bath. You can apply clotrimazole powder locally in your inguinal region after taking bath.
Clean excessive hair.
This is all you can do.
Revert back with thyroid report.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
