Anhidrosis means lack of sweating. It is also known by a number of other names including Adiaphoresis, Ischidrosis, Hypohidrosis, Oligidria, Oligohidrosis and Sweating deficiency.
This is characterized by abnormal deficiency of sweat, general or localized, temporary, permanent or accompanying disease conditions.
In medical terms the most probable cause MIGHT be (not proven yet) under-activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Eccrine sweat glands are innervated via muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
Suggested treatments include treatment for temporary relief with pilocarpine and hot drinks. Pilocarpine is used to stimulate sweat glands in a sweat test to measure the concentration of chloride and sodium that is excreted in sweat. Also it is very important to use soft clothing, bland, soothing ointments and lubricants to protect your skin.

sounds like a bonus! no...actually it sounds dangerous. Sweat is the body's natural temperature stabilizer. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation, including the possibility of a genetic disorder. Talk to your doctor, if you haven't already. There are likely some simple blood tests to rule out and/ or diagnose the problem.

You don't sweat at all?
If you don't sweat AT ALL, you have a serious disorder and need to talk to a doctor. Sweat gets rid of toxins and cools your body temperature when it gets warm, and if you don't sweat at ALL then you really need to see a doctor about this.

Have you ever worked out or been outside on a hot day? Because if you have then you've got problems. :)

I think a trained professional could more clearly answer that.
