Go talk to you Dr,
this could be caused by a lot of things from diet, neverousness to
malfunctioning sweat glads.
Your Dr will have the best info and advice.

I have the same problem. You can see some of the suggestions I got here:

You can get Drysol at any pharmacy. I don't use it often, just when I know there is an event coming up where I might have to shake people's hands. Helps a bit, but not 100%.

yeah i got sweaty handies really bad, used to be really conscious about it when i was younger, but now i dont really care. its just something about your body that you have to get used to. and as well met alot of other people who have sweaty hands as well. aparently you can get an operation to cut your sweat glands to your hands or anywhere really, but do you really care that much??
the anti-persperant stuff meantioned above doesnt really work all that well. I find as well that the more i used to think about it, the worse it got.

It's called hyperhidrosis a friend of mine has had it for years and years, and tried several things, but nothing has really worked...she just carries tissues with her wherever she goes. Try google-ing it though, you might find something she hasn't.

Just means you're hot stuff

Drysol works if your condition isn't too bad. My hands were quite sweaty and it really worked well for me.
