Any help for skin that gets sticky when it gets wet?

Has anyone been tested for MS, I think you should look into it. My mom had the waxy feeling, I got it when I was in my 20's and my 16 yr old daughter is complaining about it now. My mother had chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis, I have symptoms but refuse to go to the doctors because they only made my mother worse with all the drugs, but now I am concerned about my daughter having symptoms so young. I also had an uncle who had it.
It is a weird feeling and I think it feels waxy and my daughter says it feels sticky. It comes and goes with stress, hypersensitivity to food, & over-exhaustion. Let me know what you find out I am interested to know

I have exactly the same thing but on my foot! It started around 3 weeks ago. It's a very small area about 1-2cm. Whenever I shower it feels very sticky and annoys me because the sock sticks to it. It only lasts about 15-20min until it dries out but it drives me crazy. I don't have it anywhere else and it didn't grow in size since it first appeared. There's a very slight discolouration when observed closely but nothing major. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy...

I have had the same problem for over 4 years. I first notice it when traveling extensively with work. I too have been to several dermatologists who have basically laughed at me and none would do biopsies. My symptoms are primarily around my groin, thighs, and hands. I am a thin person and have no mold exposure to my knowledge. It has no other symptoms other than stickiness and some occasional tingling and itching after being wet, that includes sweating. After only a short time of sitting with fresh boxers and jeans on, I can actually feel moister on my jeans in my groin area. It is all very embarrassing, especially with intimacy. I just wish there were dermatologists out there working on this. It can't be mass hysteria. All I seem to find on the web are people to commiserate with, appreciated, but not very helpful.

Sorry for my spelling mistakes its late here in the u.k lol.

I too have this problem and i`ve had it for 3 years now and it never seems to improve.I dread having to go out as i like to shower but spend most of the night feeling horribly sticky.Washing definetly makes this problem worse as does washing the dishes.I feel sticky everywhere and inside my mouth nose eyes ears everywhere.There times when i feel like it affects me internally which at times really freaks me out.I`ve lost hair all over my body because of this and doctoers so far have been pretty stumped as to whats causing this.I`m now waiting to see an endocrinologist to see if they have any ideas on this.I have also been diagnosed fibromyalgia and have had it for 10 years and never had issues like this until 3 years ago.I hate it as it feel like you have a waxy coating over your skin all over your body and nothing seems to help.I `m so glad i found posts on this as i know i`m not insane and i`m not the only one experiencing this.

I also have sticky skin. It started around two months ago and, like others, I first noticed it on my hands when I was drying them. Within a day it was over my whole body - all very sudden. I also have a bad taste and funny feeling in my mouth and wonder if it's related. My doctor doesn't know what it is, and doesn't seem to care. It's good to read these posts and maybe we can figure this out. I've read on the internet that this is a condition that sometimes occurs when taking meds for prostate cancer, which I certainly am not doing. I recently started taking a med for seizures but this isn't listed as a side effect, and my doctor says it can't be related, but I'm not so sure.

Ok, I have this condition, too. Hands are the worst, but my face and neck are bad, too. Sometimes my skin burns terribly but I've been tested for every possible allergy. My dermatologist says I'm a "dermatological mystery" - no comfort there. He knows it isn't pscyholgical because he can feel the stickiness and sometimes my eyebrows look as though I've smeared hair gel on them. He says it could be unusually thick oiliness but he doesn't know why that would be. One doctor I saw for arthritis mentioned Sjogren's syndrome, but I'm not sure why. That illness usually causes dry skin. All I know is it is an awful feeling and seems worse when I am home. It doesn't happen as much when I am at work but it does on vacations. I've read that mold problems don't remediate just because you leave your house because the spores stay on clothes and other personal items but none of my docs seem to know about that. I know there are worse things, but it's a bit depressing to think there are no answers. Keep posting!

I have this too, and its driving me insane!
I dont think its a mold problem for me, because I still had sticky skin when I was on vacation.
Any help would be great!

OK so it's not our imagination. I have it too. Only my hands whenever I shower get super sticky. I just came home from cancer surgery and thought it might be related. I guess not. I was however exposed to some mold about two weeks ago and may have touched it with my hands. This is a problem, but the larger problem is professional medical personal that call themslevs doctors. They continue to ignor it because their lack of education on the topic. It's like taking your car in and your mechanic says 'never heard of that problem before, good luck'.
