What Is Anhidrosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
2. Signs and Symptoms
Some of the signs and symptoms of anhidrosis or hypohidrosis are flushing, feeling hot, dizziness, little to no perspiration, muscle cramps, and weakness. The lack of sweat can be generalized, in scattered patches, or only occurring in a single area. This causes some areas to perspire more as a compensation mechanism.
It is possible for the affected individual to sweat profusely at one part of the body while very little or none at all at another. Since anhidrosis or hypohidrosis that affects a large portion of the body prevents the body to cool itself, it is best to avoid hard physical labor, vigorous exercise, and hot weather as it can cause heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heatstroke.
