Sweating? Why ?

Question

In the last week I have noticed that I am sweating a little more then usual. For example my feet never sweat before; and lately they are digusting by the end of the day! I have tried wearing different types of socks shoes etc. I can't seem to get them to stop; is this a medical condition, I also sweat under arms more lately as well. Kinda gross, how do you get it to stop?

I should have mentioned that I am 30 years old and I am most certainly not going through puberty. I am a female and I have not been sick. However, I did start and anti-depressent for three days perhaps this could have been the contributor.

Answer 1

Your anti-depressant is the contributor. My dad went through the same thing. The best solution is after your morning shower rub baby powder into your feet and pour just a touch of it into your socks. It is cheap and works wonders. Also Mitchum for women will stop the smell and stains of sweat under your armpits combine with a little baby powder if the sweating is really bad.

I know it sounds weird but it works and you'll feel fresh all day.

Answer 2

There is a medical condition called hyperhidrosis that causes profuse sweating.

Here is a link:

It is a very real condition, my husband has suffered from it his whole life. Since you have only started having trouble recently, I would guess that your sweating is probably due to a drug interaction or anxiety, but hyperhidrosis is always a possibility.

Answer 3

For your feet, , try wearing sandals rather than shoes...try to get the areas that sweat exposed to air so that they can dry quickly....or else it might result in fungus (feet)

Answer 4

It's the bodys cooling mechanism.

Have you been sick or running a temperature at all?
