I am far from being qualified to make any medical judgements but you asked if anyone has ever heard of that.I work at a deaf and blind school as an aid.We have some very ill children there.As I understand,some of them have compromised glandular problems and are unable to sweat.All I know for sure is that it's important we do not let them get too hot or they could convulse.Not to scare you or anything,but might be important enough to see a specialist or another Dr.There might not be a serious problem but I would have it checked out.

Sounds dangerous if they overheat. Have they seen someone about it?
Reply:You don't mention ages..........





Children sweat far less than adults.





You don't mention what they have been doing......





Get them to sit quietly in the shade for a while, perhaps with a wet cloth on the back of their neck and have a cool drink, water is best!
Reply:Just make them bring a bottle of water to squirt over the face and neck. As children they dont have too much sweat.
Reply:I am sixteen years old and i have anorexia. because i have messed up my body so much i also have the same problem. when i go outside with my sister to play soccer, my face gets very red and i am burning up, but i have no sweat. they may have a problem with their sweat glands. take them to a different pediatritian. it can be dangerous. until then make sure they are hydrated. good luck. i wish you the best.
