Brief Answer:
Hypohydrosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
XXXXXXX

Sweating is your body’s way of cooling itself off. Some people aren’t able to sweat normally because their sweat glands are no longer functioning properly. This condition is known as hypohidrosis, or anhidrosis. It can affect your entire body, a single area, or scattered areas.

The symptoms of hypohidrosis include:

minimal sweating even when other people are sweating heavily
dizziness
muscle cramps or weakness
a flushed appearance
feeling overly hot
Mild hypohidrosis may go unnoticed unless you engage in vigorous exercise and become overheated because you’re not sweating normally.


If you do not have other symptoms listed above then do not bother it could be hereditary that you are not sweating.


Any issue do follow up,

Take care.
