Hyperhidrosis
I am 23. I have noticed that my hands sweat and they always have a film on them. It has really affected my social life and limits my relationship with my girlfriend — she understands, but I really would like to hold her hand! I do not sweat on my body anywhere else but my palms. Why does it do that when it didn't before?

You will require antiperspirant cream or tablet. But slight history is needed. From when and how much duration sweating stays?. Let me know. And don't worry it is treatable.
