Question
What is the cause of excessive sweating and wetness of palms and soles in otherwise normal child?
Answer
The exact cause or causes of hyperhidrosis are unknown. There are numerous sweat glands distributed over the body. The eccrine sweat glands produce a weak salt solution and are most numerous on the palms (with about 700 glands per square centimeter). The amount of sweat produced is regulated by a body temperature center in the brain (the hypothalamus) via the sympathetic nervous system. Over activity of the hypothalamus or the sympathetic nerves can result in hyperhidrosis.
