esorami, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
The main reason for this to happen is that the water is so cold coming into the toilet and the room is warm. This causes the condensation. Being a bathroom, it is also probably a moister room than the rest of the house. A vent fan would probably help a lot. They make spray on products to coat the inside of the tank. You can check your local Home Improvement store for products to cure your problem. Good luck.

You can install a tempering valve or you can buy an insulated tank or install a tank insulating kit.
