This is a medical condition that is known as Hyperhidrosis. People with this disorder may even sweat in certain areas when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.

When excessive sweating is involved in hands, feet, or armpits, it is known as focal (or primary) hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis seems to only affect 2-3% of the entire population.

I suffer from hyperhidrosis myself! It isn't very fun.
