Not: Harmful. Just may be a bit warm. Question is why are you wearing a heavy shirt in summer. ? Are you always cold. See your doctor. Maybe some different tests could help you feel better

No: Cotton is a nautral fabric that is generally neutral to the skin. No health effects, although you may be warm!
