Excessive Sweating: Causes, Prevention & When to See a Doctor

Question
Hi.  I am a 28 yo female and seem to lately sweat more than I think I should be.  It doesn't matter wether I am hot or cold, I put on deoderant(Secret) and sweat through my shirts.  I obviously do not want to do this.  Is there a reason for this and a way to prevent it?  Thank You.

Answer
Hi Ann,
There may be a number of reasons for excess sweating. Suggesting treatment depends on an established diagnosis. In some people this may be a problem that has no specific treatment. First, I would try Drysol (may need a prescription-check with your pharmacy) and see if that corrects the problem. If not, a doctors visit is indicated.
