Is it normal for the surface of my hands to consistantly be 37c/98.6f?

37C/98.6F is standard body temperature. I first noticed this when holding a thermometer for a few minutes and getting it above 37 and then again with a hand-held temperature of a surface device going as high as 38 and after awhile of them being out in the air it went down to ~96.5. the room was 22 - 24 Celsius.

      Worrying? I am just wondering if it's normal... That is what this site is about, right?

    As long as flames don't shoot out of your butte when you fart, you will probably survive.

    You are a warm blooded psychopath.

    It would be less normal if they weren't.

      Every other person's hands I looked at were 32-34C. My hands are consistently warmer than other people when we compare.
