Brief Answer:
A number of causes

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

This can be due to a number of causes, that includes high blood glucose levels if you are suffering from diabetes, alcohol consumption, dehydration or defective sweat glands that could be familial. I would recommend that you check on your blood glucose level both fasting and postprandial. Also I would recommend that you avoid using using alcohol and consume at least eight cups of water. Another cause could be consuming anticholinergic medications that leads to defective sweating.

I hope you find this helpful.
