Just re-read your original questions, Hosni, so some additional answers... The times when sweating started sometime after I sat in my wheelchair were: - Worst when I had a sore on my butt that went to stage 4, because my helper didn't see it for 2 weeks. - Common (like almost every day), right when I first get in the chair in the morning, because of my hemorrhoids (and even with Preparation-H) ...but it usually subsides after 30 minutes or so. - When my seat cushion (J2 gel) is on wrong (backwards, or just too far forward or back) - I've banged my knee or a foot has fallen off my footrest.
So, my recommendation would be for someone to give a close look over your skin for red areas after you've started sweating.
