Have you started taking any new prescriptions recently? The reason I'm asking is that several dermatology reports state that Sticky Skin Syndrome (or "acquired cutaneous adherence") is a rare side effect of certain drugs, including those used to treat acne and psoriasis, as well as some chemotherapy drugs.
If you are not taking any new medications, and have not introduced any new elements into your environment which could be causing a reaction, I would make an appointment with a dermatologist.
What you have may or may not be "sticky skin syndrome" and you need to know what you're dealing with, especially if you are saying it started with your hands and is spreading elsewhere.
Let us know what you learn, we wish the best for you.
