Constantly hot temp 99.0-99.9? Sweating easily?

Ok, to start I am a 15 year old male. I was adopted from Russia at the age of 22 months (just in case it matters). Ever since I can remember I was always naturally hot. I mean to the touch my skins always been hot, when everyone else's hands are frozen cold mine are still hot. Like last winter I ended up going ice skating with my friends in what turned out to be a blizzard their wearing several layers while I'm out there in just jeans and a tank top. I've been called a human furnace and told I radiate heat more times then I can count. It wasn't like it was uncomfortable heat I wasn't sweating out of the normal or getting over heated ever before. Over the summer I went to the Boy Scout National Jamboree (10 days in the mountains of West Virginia) and and week of regular camping the week before. Afterwards nothing had changed other then a lot of tanning. But around the time school started I started to notice I was starting to become uncomfortable. By the time first period had started I could already feel my armpits start to moisten. Also in gym class I'm ended with a shirt positively drenched in sweat. But last year same level of exercise I barely broke a sweat. What is going on I'd like to know why I'm starting to sweat after just being up for an hour and a half?

Thanks to anyone who answers no matter what u write and sorry it's long.

Hello. You should go to your doctor and ask for some blood tests. Maybe they can test for Thyroid issues  also. Some people just get hotter than others. I have the opposite issue. I'm always cold. I'm sure you are fine but to ease your mind, call the doctor today. Best wishes.

It could be normal for you to have this temperature since you have always been hot and since you are now a teenager your hormones are changing and perhaps that is why you are starting to be affected by sweating.  Do you feel normal otherwise? Any rash or other symptoms? Any chills or fatigue? Any swollen lymph nodes? Do you recall being bitten by any mosquitos or a tick when you went camping?

Have you been to see a doctor about this?
If not, perhaps you should make an appointment and discuss this with your doctor.  

It may be a thyroid or other hormonal problem.  It may be nothing at all.  Some people are naturally more hot blooded that others.  

Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes.
