Hello,
There are a variety of causes for excessive sweating, including endocrine problems, but for some people, their sweat glands are just more active. Some people get benefit from Drysol, but before you try that, I strongly advise that you see your doctor for an evaluation which should include a fasting blood sugar or A1C test, TSH and T4 (thyroid tests), CBC and a general exam.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
