Ditto. Mom is 5'1" and 90 pounds and has been sweating from her neck and scalp when active since I can remember. I'm 5'7" and 250 and I sweat from my head, neck, face, groin and under my breasts from no activity or lots of activity, caffeine or none etc. Everyone always told me to lose weight would fix it. They have no idea. Menopause is starting and I'm just expecting the worse to get worse.

My dad used to tell me that his mother was always profusely sweating, while she was cooking, washing dishes, working in the garden, doing housework, etc., etc. Maybe this does or can have a hereditary component? Now I sweat like crazy!! My head and face, under my breasts and in my groin area. Like so many of you, my hair drips with sweat, it runs down my face, burns my eyes, my clothes are wet. Even my eyelids sweat! I can be just sitting while watching TV with a big fan blowing on me and the air conditioning is on and I'm sweating. Not as bad as when I'm not in front of a fan with the A/C on, but I'm still sweating! I'm either damp or soaking wet from sweat ALL the time! It reminds me of sitting in a clammy damp swimsuit waiting for my parents to pick me up after the swimming pool closed when I was young.
I keep getting told it's menopause! That could be a little bit of it, but I know that's not the only reason I sweat so much, for well over 10 years now! I've never heard of anyone sweating like this pretty much 24 hours a day from menopause!
I already take oxybutinin for overactive bladder, so have constant dry mouth. πŸ™„
All this sweating just sucks the life out of me!

Same here.Ive been referred to a Dermatologist at the hosp and the only meds i havnt tried previously have been prescribed.As ive only just started them ive not felt any benefit yet.I can be referred to have botox for under arms which u go back each year for top up.But if these tablets dont work for my head/face unfortunately theres nothing they can do without surgery.However they do not advise surgery because its a major op which so many ppl have sed it hasnt made a difference.

I find the head botox helps but does not cure.
