I have been sweating excessively in the past few months despite the very cold weather here in the North where I reside. The sweating is more on my palms so much so that they feel cold. Kindly help me. I am a 30-year-old house wife.

Excessive sweating among other complaints may indicate excessive activity of the thyroid gland. This is an important gland that produces a hormone which regulates the metabolism of the body. In such a situation, the skin is warm and moist. However, if your own sweating is limited only to the palms, it may be due to some drugs or body creams you are using. In order therefore to confirm the actual cause of your complaints, I will advise that you see a doctor for a thorough check up. This check up will include appropriate blood tests which will rule out if you have excessive activity of the thyroid gland (thyrotoxicosis) or not.
