Hello,welcome to the HCM
The cause of your symptoms can be deranged thyroid hormone or metabolic disease.
When there is deficiency of some enzymes to metabolite some amino acids in our body,that can cause some particular type of order in sweat.
To rule out the cause get thyroid profile and urine test for amino acids metabolite ,then you may further discuss with the doctor.
