Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the issue of severe sweating over face, scalp, back indicates hyperfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system with raised levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the circulation.
* Certain cases do pertain to endocrine disturbances as thyroid raised levels also.
* There can be various auto immune disorders associated with the same and has to be evaluated via certain lab tests and sweat lab test to look the level of sodium , chloride and others.
* Primary relief with
@ application of soothing agents as calamine lotion
@ avoidance of sun exposure
@ smoking abstinence if applicable
@ stress and anxiety control
@ control of blood sugar and body weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
