Is this normal or a red flag?
Very common mix - humidity, Perimenopause Sweating, Postpartum Sweating, Humid Weather, Sweat Storm.
Red flags to see your doctor- if accompanied by fever, weight loss, pounding heartbeat, tremor, night sweats soaking sheets, painful nodules/boils.
Why the glute area specifically?
High density sweat glands + pressure/heat from sitting + tight/synthetic fabrics.
Memory foam cushions and polyester trap heat.
these are some of the main reasons for this specific kind of sweating.
Humidity—does weather really matter?
Humidity blocks evaporation, so sweat can’t cool you and body starts producing more.
Small wins can be achieved by dehumidifier, fan under desk, breathable seat cushion or mashed chairs
Ayurvedic view:
This area corresponds to Pitta and Vata imbalance — excess heat (Pitta) with poor air circulation (Vata). The result is warmth, irritation, and sometimes a burning or prickly sensation.
