Dear Doctor,
My hands and feet are always sweet (in hot and cold weather). Sometime my hands sweet so much that the sweet can drip on the floor. Is there any way to cure this excessive sweet?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer: I think you mean sweat. Excessive sweating can be caused by a variety of medical conditions and can be exacerbated by emotional stress. There are a variety of treatments available to try (mostly prescriptions) and medical tests (bloodwork for thyroid, blood pressure checks, and others) that should be addressed. Any good dermatologist will be able to help you start the process of finding the cause and coming up with a workable treatment.
