Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?

Sweating on your face after eating spicy food is often due to gustatory sweating, a condition where the body reacts to food by sweating, particularly in the facial area. This response can be triggered by the rise in body temperature from consuming spicy foods.

In some cases, it may be linked to Frey's syndrome, which occurs when nerve damage affects the parotid gland, causing sweating instead of salivation during meals. This can happen after surgery or trauma to the face. If sweating is excessive or bothersome, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable for potential treatments.

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?
