Re: Why do some people 'sweat' more than others?

Hi Tim,

Excessive sweating, or Hyperhydrosis, can have various causes, such as 
fever or endocrine disorders, but this tends to cause generalized 
sweating. Unfortunately, the cause of localized hyperhydrosis (i.e. 
confined to certain body areas, such as the armpits or the groin) is not 
known, and can occur in otherwise healthy individuals.

Treatment is usually in the form of topical applications, containing 
aluminium chloride (in the UK this is available as Anhydrol Forte). 
Sometimes, if the problem is resistant to all simple measures, and is 
causing distress, a more radical treatment, such as surgery to sever the 
sympathetic nervous system connections to the affected area, might have to 
be considered.

Best wishes
