A member asked:

I have a lot of sweating in the heat it's only 25 degrees celcius. is this a genetic thing?

Dr. Maulik Shah answered

Specializes in Clinical Genetics

Not necessarily: Excess sweating can be due to alterations in metabolism or a condition known as hyperhydrosis which involved overactive sweat glands. Hyperhydrosis is associated with some genetic conditions but by itself is not necessarily hereditary.
