What Causes Excessive Sweating Between The Legs And Under The Breasts?
I have sciatic nerveproblem in my right leg. I get hot and damp between my legs, under my breasts and nothing I ve tried has helped. I change my pj s every night at least two time because I wake up cold and damp all over.. do you have any ideas what causes this. Ive told my dr. And none of any of his suggestions have helped.

Hello,
There are different conditions that cause night sweating. Hyperthyroidism may a cause so you should check your thyroid hormone levels T3, T4 and TSH.
If you are a woman around 50 the reason may be menopause due to lack of estrogens.
Another possibility is hodgkin lymphoma and you should do a total blood count to check it. Also a chest x-ray may be done to check for tuberculosis infection. The treatment depends on the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
