Hi. This is only my 3rd post but I have immense respect for all insightful dopers. Quick question. Does any one know why some people sweat on their nose? Even in the dead of winter I sweat on my nose. Nothing crazy, just a couple of droplets on the tip. My nose doesn’t feel any hotter than the rest of me so…just curious. 😃 ---

I do that, but it collects in the creases on either side. My WAG is that it’s just the areas that a small overall sweat runs towards and collects in. ---

Additionally, many people have larger pores on their noses, which may account for the sweat itself. ---

Thanks for the replies. Even standing outside in winter my nose gets little moisture droplets on the tip. Oh well… 😛
