What Causes Excessive Sweating On The Legs?
Have you ever heard of a condition when the legs sweat / water profusely. This is for a 90 year old woman whose legs run with water so much that in 1 hour a towel is soaked through. The sweating is from the knee to the foot. It has occurred recently and 2 doctors visits have produced no idea of what is happening. Any ideas ??
