Why Do I Sweat Profusely From My Head?

I hope you will be able to help me with my problem. I will be 70 this month and have been sweating profusely from my head for about nine years. The sweating seems to happen at all different times but not at night. The moisture runs in rivulets from my scalp anytime from morning to evening. Please help me, and it happens no matter the season or what I have eaten. No one in my family has this problem.

Sweating on the scalp you have is a totally normal phenomenon. So, there is no need to worry. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
