  1. Im a 37 year old male and I notice that I don't sweat
    anymore even in extreme heat. This causes me to feel
    overheated and feel very fatigued at any temperature over
    75 degrees.

    Is there a sweat test? What is it called and what kind of
    specialist would I have to see?

    Also, I have skin lesions that are hard to see, except when
    in extreme heat and then its obvious. I think its the
    beginning or middle stage of erythema ab igne from working
    in a steel foundry. Is there some camera or something that
    can map or expose hard to see skin lesions and make it
    obvious to my doctor that the lesions are there? I have
    constant burning skin pain.

    Thanks, Rockford

    P.S. Here's an interesting article about Erythema ab igne
    (heat lesions)
