anhidrosis
This is a specialized medical term used primarily in clinical settings to describe a failure of the sweat glands. It carries a neutral, diagnostic tone and is rarely used in casual conversation, where a speaker would more likely describe the symptom as "not being able to sweat."
As a medical condition denoting a specific physiological state, the term is uncountable. It refers to the condition itself rather than individual instances of the disease, and therefore does not have a plural form.
