Sweating is limited to the forehead, and even sweat is like steam, so it is commonly known as a steamer head.

External six evils and internal injuries to internal organs can all cause sweating on the forehead.

2. Cold sweat

Whenever people are sick, frightened, extremely nervous, or have abnormal physiological and psychological functions, they will continuously secrete a large amount of light and odorless sweat, which feels cold to the touch, and after sweating, they often feel "lingering fear".

When you are emotionally excited, mentally stressed, overworked, or talk too much, you will sweat.

The sweat was continuous and profuse, and there was a smell of burnt or burning coal. In severe cases, the smell of burning is very strong, which can stimulate people around to sneeze and have clear runny nose. This disease is limited to young men, and is caused by frequent masturbation, frequent nocturnal emissions, and lack of attention to cleaning the perineum. In addition, the sweating of patients with high fever, the sweating after surgery or childbirth, and the sweating of people in critical condition or at the end of their lives are all different symptoms or abnormal sweating.

8. Hard work and sweat
