It depends... I've heard night sweats could be related to some cancers.

Night sweats often mean you have some blood cancer like leukemia or lymphoma. I'm not talking about dampness. I mean sweating like you're running as hard as you can. As in, the sheets are wetter than if you peed the bed.

Only my head. Only during summer, and not during night.

I sweat like a SOB from the head when in the sun or when it's hot. This summer try keeping your head cool. I wear a light colored hat and a wet towel around my neck. The wet towel will cool the blood going to your head. It can be a pain in the ass but it helps tremendously.

Cool, there is two of us now. If you find any cure, please, let me know.

A good candidate is the liver. If this sweating just started happening for no reason, get to a hospital. It could be the liver is failing which is not good at all.

Edit any yellowing of the skin?

No yellowing. The doctor says he has no clue. Anyway, the sweating happens only for my head, and only during summer.

Depends where the sweat is coming from.

Mostly related to liver disease.

Mainly from the head. I have to buy new baseball caps during summer.

If you sweat excessively from your head and face, in particular, you may have a condition known as craniofacial hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis means sweating more than is necessary to maintain a normal body temperature. It can range in severity from dampness to dripping.

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis: primary and secondary.

Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common type. It means the excessive sweating is not caused by a medical condition, physical activity, or increased temperature. It typically affects the hands, feet, head, and face. It can occur in other parts of the body as well.

Secondary hyperhidrosis is related to a medical condition or medication that causes excessive sweating, such as:

heart disease cancer diabetes menopause stroke spinal cord injuries use of some antidepressants

Could be stress. When I'm stressing about things I get sweaty.

Carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon dioxide poisoning.

Try opening a few windows and getting some fresh air.

Alcoholism. Drunks sweat, expecially then they don't get a drink.
