Question: I’m 66 years old and my head sweats almost all of the time. Even when it’s not hot and no one else is sweating, my head will sweat.

Dr. Hibberd's Answer:

Some of us are more prone to sweating than others, especially men, but an evaluation for underlying conditions is usually advisable. Sometimes stress is sufficient to stimulate sweating under little physical or emotional stimulation. You might request a cardiovascular evaluation that includes a stress test, as well as an evaluation for disorders of the endocrine system, including thyroid and adrenal.

Your treatment will involve determining the cause of your sweating and addressing it directly. Let me know when this has been done. Remember to listen to your body, and pay attention to new changes, as this is often the best time to evaluate and correct underlying problems.
