What Causes Cold And Profuse Sweating?
I am over weight, sweat a lot easier than most people. I hardly ever feel cold, even in the winter time. And my face tends to be red often, even when I am not excessively active. I have family members ask me all the time, Why is your face so red? I am wondering if I might have some condition and should seek a doctors help? If so would I see a regular physician? Thank you for your time and help. Jennifer

Hello,
Welcom.
As I read your query it seems to me that your problem is related to heat decipation that is when your body temperature increases your body heat needs to radiate to environment to make body temperature normal.
In this case if you are over weight you have much fat and fat is the insulator which prohibited heat exchange.
Because in face there are too many blood vessels and less fat most of the blood rushes to this area. So you look read.
You need to lose some weight and also for your satisfaction you can visit a general physician or endocrinologist.
Hope my answer will help you.
With best regards.
