Dear Mr Amit
Thanks for your query to HCMagic.
Your inability to sweat is not related to rheumatic fever or penidura injection.
In fact this relates to your nervous system. Disorders effecting autonomic nervous system can cause this condition like diabetes, alcoholism, parkinsonism etc. Sometime it is related to effect of certain drugs. At times skin disorders which can block sweat ducts cause this problem.
If you do not have any obvious skin disease and you are not taking any medicines , please see your neurologist.
Hope this helps
Sincerely
