Sounds as if you have a condition called, "Hyperhidrosis". If it really bothers you so much I suggest you see a doctor. I understand that there are several cures, among them surgery and some kind of electrolysis treatments. You might check them out with the help of your physician. For a temporary fix look into a product called," Dry Touch." I believe it is supposed to help for several hours. Good luck!

if its really bad speak to a doctor, i have clamy hands there always moist but never dripping, its just something that i have but it doesn't bother me too much

u sound like u have a condition...its treatable though, but i froget the name of it. arrgh. U can have the condition or just be very anxious and so you rsweat glands r out of control. I would seriously most absolutely speak with a doctor!!!

Hyperhidrosis is possible the condition you have, its dificult without an examination.

Sweating is necessary to control body temperature during times of exercise and warm/hot surroundings. Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. In 0.6 to 1.0% of the population, this system is revved-up and works at a very high level causing sweating to occur at inappropriate times in specific areas of the body. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis.

Causes of hyperhidrosis can be primary or secondary

Hyperhidrosis without a known cause. A more frequent condition than secondary hyperhidrosis. Localized commonly in the hands, armpits, scalp, face, and/or feet. Starts during childhood or early adolesence, worsens during puberty, and then persists for the rest of one's life. Nervousness and psychiatric disorders are rarely the cause. The excessive sweating is very embarrassing and social, professional, and intimate relationships are often seriously affected.

Secondary hyperhidrosis - Caused by an underlying condition. Usually causes excess sweating of the entire body, however. Some of these conditions are; endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism, endocrine treatment for malignant disease, menopause, obesity, psychiatric disorders, systemic malignant disease.


Far and above the area of the body causing the most distressing condition.

The hands are used socially and professionally more than any other part of the body. Excessively wet/moist hands may even limit the choice of one's profession. Avoiding social contact is common for individuals with severe hyperhidrosis palmaris. Patients notice not only that their hands feel very moist/wet all the time, but also feel cool/cold. Some individuals have a bluish/purple discoloration of their hands as well.

There a number of treatment that range from Drugs to Surgrey
