What Causes Excessive Sweating From Scalp And Neck?
I am 72 year old female, still very active. I have excessive sweating in my hair and down my neck whenever I do light physical work. I am losing my hair. At one time I lost all the hair on my arms and legs also. It has came back on my arms now. I take thyroid medicine and have for 20 years. I ve asked the Dr. About this and he doesn t seem to be to concerned, but is very embarrassing to have water dripping off your hair when I m helping cook at church. Do you have an opinion. Thank You
