Coping and Prevention

A lack of sweating is a symptom common to a number of health conditions, including psoriasis, lupus, diabetes, or even lung cancer. Medications also can cause a reduction in sweating (hypohidrosis) or absence of sweating (anhidrosis) as a side effect.

Many cases of a lack of sweating aren’t serious, and they can be treated with home remedies like staying hydrated and avoiding exertion. Other cases may require medical attention that’s geared toward the specific cause, such as emergency care forheat exhaustionand heat stroke.

Anhidrosis is itself a symptom. Most of the time, the absence of sweating is temporary and goes unnoticed unless complications arise, as with a heat-related illness. Other symptoms that can arise with heat issues can include:

Some people can experience heat-related rashes and other symptoms when their ability to sweat is disrupted. These symptoms can occur due to how sweating works, which includes:

The incidence of hypohidrosis or anhidrosis is currently unknown, and it’s thought that many cases go undiagnosed. An estimate, however, may be made based on the incidence of heat-related events. One study found that among soldiers who developed heat-related illness, 31% had hypohidrosis.

Complications

Complications of a lack of sweating (hypohidrosis or anhidrosis) are the most common reason why a person will seek medical treatment and receive a diagnosis. Children, as well as older adults, are at greater risk of these complications which include:

While complications such as these are more common in those who have hypohidrosis or anhidrosis, they may occur in people who sweat normally, too.

There are many potential causes for a reduction or absence of sweating, including both congenital and acquired conditions. In some cases, a lack of sweating arises for unknown reasons, which is called “idiopathic.”

Acquired conditions may be either primary, or secondary due to medication use and other health conditions that affect the nervous system or the skin and sweat gland directly.

Congenital/Genetic Conditions

A number of congenital/genetic conditions have been associated with either hypohidrosis or anhidrosis. These include:

Skin Conditions

In addition to congenital conditions leading to a reduction or absence in sweat glands, a number of skin conditions may affect the sweat glands or cause of occlusion of the glands, and hence, sweat production. Examples include:

Central Nervous System Conditions

Medical conditions affecting structures at any point in this pathway may result in a lack of sweating.Some central nervous system conditions associated with reduced or absent sweating include:

Spinal cord injuries are also a potential cause of lack of sweating. With these injuries, there is usually a band of excess sweating (hyperhidrosis) above the level of the injury and anhidrosis below.

Peripheral Nervous System Conditions

Conditions involving theperipheral nervous systemmay also be responsible for a lack of sweating.Some peripheral nervous system conditions associated with problems in sweating include:

Peripheral neuropathy, or damage to nerves found between the spinal cord and the sweat glands may result in a lack of sweating. A study of 516 people diagnosed with neuropathy found anhidrosis (as measured on body surface) was common.Some of the more severely affected were people with neuropathies that include:

Connective Tissue/Autoimmune Disorders

Some research suggests that the underlying cause in some cases of anhidrosis may share mechanisms that occur with other conditions, especially autoimmune and connective tissue disorders.

More research is needed, but these links may exist in conditions that includelupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes, andrheumatoid arthritis.

Medications

A number of different medications can lead to a reduction or absence of sweating, in many cases, related to their effects on acetylcholine, the primary neurotransmitter involved in signaling pathways between the brain and sweat glands.Some of these include:

There are several other causes that don’t fall neatly into the categories above. They include the following:

Additional causes can include burn injuries or brain tumors.

Idiopathic

Idiopathic acquired anhidrosis has no obvious cause. It is broken down into three types based on where the problem occurs.

Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) most often occurs in young adults (especially males) who have no underlying health conditions.The most common symptoms include itching and a prickly type of pain sensation whenever the body reaches a temperature where sweating occurs (even an elevation of less than 1 degree F).

Due to the very uncomfortable sensation, many of these people see their doctor with concerns that they are unable to exercise. Sometimes a rash occurs along with the other symptoms, but symptoms tend to resolve rapidly when the body cools down.

Roughly half of the people also have a condition in which hives occur as a response to stress or other precipitating factors (cholinergic urticaria). With AIGA, people are quite susceptible to heatstroke. Oral corticosteroids appear to be quite effective for many people, though the condition frequently recurs.

The diagnosis of a lack of sweating can be challenging in many cases and usually begins with confirming a lack or reduction in sweating. Tests can be used to search for an underlying cause when it isn’t known or obvious, but there’s reason to suspect one exists.

A range of tests can be used to evaluate symptoms:

Sweating Tests

There are a number of different tests that may be done to confirm a reduction or absence of sweating. It is important that medications such as anticholinergics be discontinued before testing is performed. Testing options include:

The treatment of hypohidrosis or anhidrosis begins with reducing the risk of complications and addressing the underlying cause when possible. Simply having an awareness of the condition and being able to recognize the early symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke can be very helpful.

Treatment can include:

If you are living with hypohidrosis or anhidrosis, avoid exercising out-of-doors when it’s hot, especially in hot, humid weather. Indoors, use air conditioning to stay comfortable. Stay well hydrated and use a spray bottle to mist yourself. Loose-fitting, lightweight clothing is usually the most comfortable.

Keep in mind that a lack of sweat can occur due to medication use, nerve damage, an inherited cause, and other conditions besides heat exposure.There are online communities for people coping with anhidrosis in general, as well as those meant to connect people with specific diagnoses such as acquired idiopathic hypohidrosis or hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

Summary

A lack of sweating (hypohidrosis or anhidrosis) can range from mild to serious and has many potential underlying causes. Fortunately, having an awareness of your tendency to overheat, and quickly instituting at home remedies when needed may be all that’s needed to keep yourself healthy.
