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

sticky skin

Three nights ago I noticed that after washing my hands they felt really sticky, almost like when you use the last paper towel on the roll and you get that glue residue on your hands. However, it wasn't the last paper towel so I figured maybe the liquid soap was really old and doing funky things so I rewashed with dish soap and again grabbed a paper towel. Once again, my hands got sticky as I dried them off. Thinking now that there was something wrong with these paper towels, I washed again and this time dried with a hand towel only to yet again find my hands sticky as they dried off. The stickiness only lasts 30-60 seconds, until the skin completely dries, but during that in-between time of soaking wet and totally dry they feel very tacky to the touch and my fingers will actually stick to each other.

The next day when I took a shower I noticed that the water was beading up on the skin on my arms. Sure enough, when I dried off afterwards I found that all of my skin is tacky to the thouch until it is completely air dried.

Today I shaved my legs and my skin felt almost like it had a layer of wax on it that kept catching the razor. The skin on my hands seems to be getting more sticky when they get wet. Water continues to bead on my skin when it gets wet. I asked my children if they can feel that my skin is sticky to the touch and they said yes.

This is affecting all of my skin now, including my face. I always put a moisturizer on my face after washing and it does not feel like my skin is absorbing it now, it just feels heavy and greasy since the lotion just sits there on top. I also tried putting lotion on my hands and it was not absorbed at all, just left my hands feeling very slimy and greasy so I wiped it off.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this or have any suggestions for what might be causing it? Thanks for any held you can give.

Thank you Lora,
More and more we are depending on each other for information and cannot depend on truth from corporate America who places profit over humanity. I hope you are getting some help. It is a long road.

What are your thoughts on the idea that whatever is being sprayed in the stratosphere (chemtrails) is related to the Morgellons?

Morgellons is a real disease that is related to a spirochete, and the breakdown of immunity causing the dermal system to malfunction. The focus should be on why the CDC Lyme disease criteria is deficient, and how to correct. The Chemtrail issue, and other unproven theories, as well as seriously deficient Morgellons studies have caused a negative firestorm that resulted in many people who suffer with Morgellons to commit suicide. Kaiser Permanente on behalf of the CDC, and other organizations clearly did NOT do their homework!!! This recent study by Middleveen, 2015 is irrefutable, but it will take much time to undo the damage that was done.

Imagine all here is being told that your sticky skin was delusional? This is what happened to Morgellons people, but their suffering is well beyond the initial symptom of sticky skin.

If chemtrails are proven to exist, then it is affecting all people with all illness. Compromised immunity manifests in many ways and is a result of the body being assaulted by infection. Autoimmune illness, and other diseases including cancer will develop if the body is toxic for too long. Lori

I did go to the Charles Holman Foundation site and was hoping to find a list of doctors who specialized in Morgellons, but found none. Can you point me in that direction? I did read it was better to go to one's primary physician instead of dermatologist. I've been to both. PP is open minded.
I'd hoped to get email contact with you. If you did contact me I didn't receive it.

Lora,
Morgellons is referred to as the new "aids" by many doctors although it is not considered to be contagious. However, you will hear many people say that it is contagious. It is understandable that they beliee so, but it is what people are exposed to that causes this illness (at least this is what docs and scientists believe) . The commonalities we all have that suffer with morgellons are mosquito bites, bug or tick bites, stress and food. This disease is unfortunately at the cusp of undoing damage done by kaiser PERMANENTE's irresponsible study. It is difficult to undo the firestorm of negative press and false studies and publications by other so called professionals who jumped on the band wagon. In time their time to fess up will come.

The foundation is not well funded as a result of what many believe are criminal acts by "professionals" to cover up a disease that may be caused by something we were ALL exposed to.

Unfortunately, those who suffer have to educate themselves and then the doctors. If u believe u have this then My suggestion is to join a private group online. There are many, and especially on facebook.

Avoid the conspiracy groups because they won't serve you. It is technically a conspiracy till proven even regarding gmo food (despite studies showing it causes disease in man).
If U have a facebook ID post it and I will find you there.

Read studies by Middleveen and also Sapi. Eva Sapi's study shows relationship between morgellons and bovine digital dermatitis or BDD. Livestock are growing fibers in their hoofs and are infected with lyme and agribacteria (gmo).

Good luck and blessings
