It is normal to sweat in the hot summer. However, many people do not sweat easily even though they feel very hot. What is the reason for these people not sweating easily?

Treatment for not sweating

There is currently no clinical cure for anhidrosis caused by congenital hypoplasia of sweat glands. If anhidrosis is caused by other diseases, the primary disease (the disease that causes anhidrosis) should be actively treated. People with anhidrosis cannot regulate their body temperature in the summer. In addition to treatment, those who feel extremely uncomfortable can move to low-temperature areas or adopt artificial cooling, such as installing air conditioners indoors.
