Hello, excessive sweating around the neck can result from either physiological or pathological causes. Physiological causes are primarily related to high ambient temperatures; sweating in such cases helps dissipate excess body heat and is considered a normal physiological response requiring no specific treatment. Pathological causes may include psychological or emotional factors—such as chronic mental stress or excessive psychological pressure—which can also lead to increased sweating around the neck. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
