First make sure that the hot and cold supply lines (the Plumbing) aren't backwards (hot should be on the left as you are facing the faucet) or that someone accidentally ran two hot lines.
For the problem to be in the faucet itself you would have to have a single handle faucet.
If this is the case the control valve is broken and should be replaced.
Three handle
Left= Hot Water Flow.
Right= Cold Water Flow
Center= Controls whether the water comes out the shower head or tub faucet.
Two handle
Left= Hot Water Flow
Right= Cold Water Flow
(Diverter Valve is elsewhere if it's a tub/shower)
Single handle
One handle controls both water pressure and temperature

In a bath there is less hot water vapour condensing into particles for you to see. Steam is made up of water vapour that you can't see. More fog is produced from a shower because cold air surrounding the hot water from the shower causes water vapour to change into small water droplets called fog not steam.
