I have had the same sweating, but also including my forearms, chest, and legs. It always starts on the head and face though. I have found no doctor that has any idea.

If I can get air blowing on my face and head or whole body, in a short period of a few minutes, I see change and improvement. This period of time is not long enough to have an impact normally with the volume of sweating present in all my prior "normal" life precovid experiences.

It would seem this is a reactive response to a nerve signal which then is repeated inadvertantly or the receiving body system is misinterpretting the signal. The sweating is fast. I can be totally comfortable then a few minutes later, heavy sweating. I do not have "to do" anything. But, I note that most of the time the room or where I am may "feel" slightly warm. If I walk slowly three to five minutes, even when it is cold, it also begins. Yes, I see the redness also.

Some type of normal response in the body has been vastly modified or better stated, excellerated in time response and sweat volume.

For myself, this has been occuring several years through multiple infections and multiple Long Covid episodes.

Flowing air, preferred cold, has rapid impact. Stationary, even cold air, has little impact. An over response is needed to the over response....

Yo sudo demasiado y el sudor es muy raro… es como pegajoso … sido en todo el cuerpo. No siempre me pasa y se puede ir a los 30-40 minutos. Me ayuda estar en a/c un rato y salir refrescada de mi casa. Pero incluso puede salir de la ducha y comenzar a sudar. Digo Puerto Rico es bien caluroso durante el
Verano pero creo que el
sudor espantoso me llegó con la diabetes.

Salud!!!

The facial/head sweating bothers me the most. I ended up talking to my dermatologist about it, and she was able to treat it with Botox. It does more for the sweating than my forehead because she can’t inject my forehead otherwise I guess it might not be covered by insurance because it could be suspected to be Botox for cosmetic purposes.

To your point, it temporarily quiets some of the nerve signals causing the excessive sweating. It’s not a perfect solution, but it does make a difference. It lasts 3-6 months before we need to repeat the procedure.
