Why are my palms and feet sweaty?

Asked by raum (13206points) May 25th, 2019 from iPhone

I took a really hot bath last night with Epsom salts. I think it also had menthol and eucalyptus.

Afterwards the palms of my hands and soles of my feet were sweaty.

I figured maybe the super hot bath threw my body temperature off. I tend to regulate my body temperature with my hands and feet. For example, I often wash my hands and feet on hot days to stay cool.

So my body temperature has more or less returned to normal this morning. The palms of my hands are unusually warm but not sweaty. But the soles of my feet are still sweaty.

What’s up with that?
