Changes in the location you sweat??

First off, a little about me. I am 27 yrs old. I think I'm medically not considered overweight, but I don't know. I'm 5'7 and if I remember correctly around 167 pounds. 

My whole life, I've sweated in the same exact places like clockwork. Armpits (happened very easily), back of neck (I have fairly long hair, but it still didn't happen very easily), cleavage and under the breast (I'm not huge, but I am pretty large breasted), and if I am extremely hot or exerted, my back. A few months ago, it changed. I stopped sweating in the same places I have my whole life, and started sweating in new ones. The most severe one was my scalp. Even with all my hair, I've never had a problem with my scalp sweating. I'm not talking just my hairline, I'm talking my entire scalp. This happens severely and at least once a day. (I have never sweated once a day ANYWHERE before) I started sweating on my back more and at the drop of a hat. (Before it would take a lot for me to sweat there) I also now sweat on my stomach, feet, and thighs. 

Is there anything that could cause this to change like that? Especially at my age? Given that it hasn't gone back to normal and the fact that it has been a couple of months, I'm starting to get worried. If you need more information or anything please ask!!!!

     I agree - it could be your hormones.  An imbalance of hormones can happen to anyone at any age.  
  You would do good to see a doctor to determine which hormones are imbalanced.   Perhaps an endocrinologist.  It could be from any gland and any place in your body.  Your pituitary gland or even your ovaries can cause such problems.

    Wishing you the best

Thats odd but this summer I havnt been sweating in the usual places either. Maybe its a change in hormones.  Hormones do strange things to your body.
