A member asked:
Why does excessive perspiration occur in osteogenesis imperfecta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin skin: Oi affects bones and collagen, which makes up a large part of the skin. People with oi have thin skin and as a result, higher normal body temperatures (by 1-2 degrees). They can be more sensitive to both heat and cold, and need to sweat more to reduce their body temperature.
