What Causes Excessive Sweating In Palms?
My hands are constantly sweaty. Enough to leave sweat spots on the desk or even fog up my phone screen. Even to where there is residue on the phone. It is inconvenient to type and all that as well. Can applying superglue to my palms help this problem?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Excessive sweating of hands is called 'hyperhidrosis'.
You may require a test called 'sweat test'.
You can use anti-antiperspirants.
Also you can use 'Iontophoresis' (no sweat machine) - It requires you to immerse your hands or feet in a shallow pan of tap water. As you do this, a medical device sends a low-voltage current through the water.
Kindly contact dermatologist and take proper advise in this regard.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
