That would be primarily the Pituitary gland in your brain.

Yep they are there when you are born but develop during puberty as teh testosterone & estrogen rises.
The first gland id the testis. The sweat glands grow after they get the increased testosterone.
During puberty, hormonal changes cause an increase in the production of sebum by the oil glands, which can lead to oily skin and acne. Sweat glands also become more active as the body's metabolism increases, leading to increased perspiration. These changes are part of the body's natural development during adolescence.
A baby's sweat glands develop when he/she is 1 year old
There is no way to know the exact number of sweat glands that become more active in puberty. There are two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine. The eccrine sweat glands are for cooling the body and are active your entire life and are located just about all over your body. The apocrine sweat glands are the ones that occur in places like your arm pits, crotch, and peri-anal areas. They are the one that increase their secretions after the onset of puberty.
Sweat glands are always working even when you are a child. but you sweat more during puberty and the sweat actually has no odor. It smells when it hits the bacteria on the skin.
All the sweat glands function after puberty. Only they may get bigger in size.
The apocrine sweat glands become active during puberty. They release a sweat that is very oily. This oil is degraded by bacteria that is normally present on the skin and gives off the typical "sweaty smell".
Teenagers sweat more than normal, not just when they sleep. This is because about 3 million sweat glands become active during puberty.
During puberty your oil glands and sweat glands are more active so it causes them to be more sweaty :/ Hope I helped! :)
The type of gland that opens into hair follicles and secretes sweat after puberty is called the apocrine gland. These glands are found predominantly in the armpits and pubic region and produce a thicker, more odorous sweat compared to the eccrine sweat glands found throughout the body. Apocrine glands are influenced by hormonal changes that occur during puberty, leading to increased sweating and body odor.
