Is it normal to sweat on your hands and feet?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—sweaty hands and feet are common, especially when you’re warm, stressed, or active. If they sweat heavily even when you’re cool and relaxed, or it gets in the way of daily life, it’s worth getting checked.

Your palms and soles have lots of sweat glands, and they can kick in with heat, exercise, nerves, or stress. Some people simply sweat more there than others, so damp hands or feet now and then are nothing unusual.

If the sweating is frequent or heavy enough to interfere with gripping things, wearing shoes, or feeling comfortable, a clinician can check for excessive sweating and discuss ways to manage it. It’s also worth getting checked if it starts suddenly or comes with other new symptoms.
