Why do Palms and Soles sweat?

But excessive sweating could be due to hereditary conditions and other secondary medical conditions. It is essential to treat them before inviting more trouble and attention because it wouldn’t go away unless you bid it goodbye.

What are the other factors behind the Sweaty hands and feet?

Anything that dramatically increases your body temperature can trigger sweating in the hands and feet. Commonly, people with anxiety and stress are more prone to have this condition. Excessive sweating can be temporary or lasting and can be sudden. Exerting exercises, warm weather, etc could cause temporary sweating and is quite natural.
