Could be genes, nothing to be worried about. I walk around in a T-shirt and sometimes shorts in winter (when it's 30F) and I sincerely don't feel cold. My dad used to walk barefoot in snow and still have warm feet. Even though some people think that's weird I never really thought about it as a problem, just a personal quirk. But that doesn't mean I feel even more hot in the summer, it's the same as for other people.

I am always hot, also. I wear tank tops all through the winter and I live in cold Ohio. When I am at work as a waitress I have to step outside without a coat just to cool down. I am only 33 so I have no idea why this is.

That's hard to determine without further test. You didn't say just how warm you are. I'm one of those, as you may be, that has very warm skin. You didn't say if you had your outside skin temp. taken. It normally falls in the 87 to 91degree range. (outside skin) Mine is almost always near 93. I can ball my hand up and hold it closed for a minute then put it against my girlfriends back and she's amazed at the heat..She says it feels like a heating pad and it stays warm for a while. You may be just one of us who has a higher then normal outside skin temperature.
I've never had any type of test done to see why my skin is so warm. I've just gone on with it. However, if your outside skin temp is above 93 degrees I'd seek further medical review.
I know this hasn't been very helpful, but there are those of us that just have warm skin.
