Hi, Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a common but troublesome condition that is often overlooked. There is usually a genetic predisposition to it.  The possibilities for incresed sweating are anxiety, Lymphoma, Infections like Brucellosis, Pheochromocytoma, Carcinoid syndrome and Hyperthyroidism. Also indigestion may result in sweating due to acid reflux disease.
You can use deodorants, talc, avoid contact with hot things, have lot of water, use loose cotton clothes, have cool foodstuffs in daily routine like curd, juice etc.
The treatment of this condition includes Topical therapy with antiperspirants, Iontophoresis are available.
I suggest you to consult a physician and get evaluated for complete blood tests, thyroid profile, endoscopy and 24 hrs gastric pH. Take care and regards.
