  1. That is because you are in contact with artificial fabrics:those make you sweat.
    A lambskin over the back will reduce this a lot.It breathes and artificial fabrics don't

  3. Hey, I used to have the same problem, the doctor called it hyperhidrosis. I fixed it using the stuff I got from this site: http://www.how-to-stop-sweating-today.com/

    Here is some information I found on that site. I really do recommend the remedy available there. Good luck!

    Perspiration or sweating is a natural phenomenon by which the temperature of our body is regulated but excessive sweating is sign of bad health and it can create a lot of problems. In medical terms such a condition is known as hyperhidrosis. Three types of treatments that are available for excessive sweating are:

    Medication
    Surgery
    Natural treatments

    1. Medication: In this type of treatment one needs to take a number of drugs and medicine under the guidance of a physician or skin specialist.

    Anticholinergic drugs: One on the common drugs that can control the excessive perspiration are Anticholinergic drugs. Oxybutynin is a commonly used Anticholinergic drug to treat hyperhidrosis. But it has certain side effects like drowsiness, constipation, visual problems and dryness of mouth. Glycopyrrolate, Benztropine and Propantheline bromide are also some other commonly used drugs for treatment of this condition.

    Iontophoresis: Iontophoresis is another old treatment which makes use of mild electric current in order to block the sweat glands so that they do not produce so much of sweat. But this procedure cause some amount of pain in the body and it has some side effects also. Some of the side effects are cracking of skin and blistering.

    2. Surgical procedures: some of the common surgical procedures to treat hyperhidrosis are:

    Lumbar sympathectomy
    Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS)
    3. Natural treatments: In addition to all the medical treatments a number of natural treatments are also available and one can use them to cure this condition.
