What Causes Severe Sweating In Back?

Posted on Mon, 4 Apr 2016

Question: Hi. I have a question. I have noticed that recently I'm getting wetness form my backside. It sometimes feels like I'm sweating but I'm not. I can put on my underwear and in 10-15 minutes I can talk them off and visibly see a wet spot. What could be causing this and what can I do??
