Brief Answer:
Get your Thyroid functions.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Sweating is a frequently seen side effect on testosterone therapy.
As such there is no special Medicine to reduce these sweatings.
However one must be sure that sweating is not because of other reasons like Thyroid disorder , Diabetes or any cardiac issues.
I would advice you to get Thyroid function test, Fasting blood sugar levels and an ECG done to rule out these issues.
If everything is normal this is probably due to testosterone only and nothing can be done in that regards.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
