Hi welcome to the health care magic
Kindly let me know you your age and gender
Common causes for excess sweating includes...
-wether change (summer)
-Obesity
-Diabetes
-Thyroid issue etc...
If no any cause found then sometime primary hyperhydrosis (congenital cause of excess sweating) can be there
Rule out diabetes by serum PP2BS investigation
Reduce weight if you are obese...
Let me know you your thyroid profile report..
If hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism present then treatment should be started
Hope your concern solved
