What Causes Profuse Sweating In An Area On The Nape?

From my right temple and above my right ear and to the back of my neck, an area about the size of a checkbook, I have been sweating intermitently. My hair in that area was very wet when I woke up this morning and it just started again. Thank you very much.

Hi...


Welcome to healthcare magic.

A per your complain you have problem of profuse sweating that may be because of thyroid problem.

Check your thyroid function test. Hyperthyroidism also cause this type of symptoms.

High blood pressure also lead to more sweating problem.

Consult a physician for further diagnosis.
