Are Sweaty Palms, Armpits And Buttocks Due To SD?

Hello!

I have been experiencing sweaty palms, armpits, even buttocks!! This has never ever happened to me! Also, I've found out that my blood related uncle has been gay for over 25+ years and is most likely sick.. I can only imagine the germs hes spreading!! He has the same sweaty palms symptoms as myself.. Did i catch an SD?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Excessive, uncontrollable sweating of the hands or palms, is called palmar hyperhidrosis. The first line-of-defense against sweaty palms is an antiperspirant. There are medical interventions available if you consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
