Hi , this is kacha again. Lala35, I thought about what you wrote about first noticing this in the shower whilst shampooing... Actually the label, as you suggested could be the cause, in this case...my first episode started after contact with a sticker that i tried to rinse of a plastic pen using hot/varm water. My hands felt really slimy coated during the actual event, almost as u discribe, i usually describes it as "it felt like meltes candle, stearin or parraffin.... after that the hands dried, the were sticky when wet just as you and the rest of us describe, but the really slimy coaty felling was just durin the actuall event, after that more rubbercoated feeling to them when really wet, and sticky when moist. Hold on to stuff that is a little moist relly shows the problem, I know the feeling with the starbuckscup, or something out of the refridgerator that is a little most. Just thought it was interesteig that you suspected shampo sticker/label. Since it do contain glue, and the shampoo could have contained silicone that can act as a carrier.and also the paper in the labels could have been coated with or containing other chemichals, labels and coated paper often are, i think this definetely can be the cause in your case. In my case I think I got the glue on me, int kind of melted in the varm water and then spread via another substanse/chemichal, silicone or wahtever., IF you to can pinpoint when the stickyness started to varm water, stickerlabel and shampoo, yours and my firts ongoing vents causatives when we first exxperienced sticky skin seem very similar to eachother. I think you shold hold off from using products on you hands and then on your body for a while, since this phenomena has spread from hands so body for some of us before, just chill with any more products for a while, use plastic gloves ( cottongloves under so you dont get a reaction to the plastic gloves)maybee in the shower i you have to use shampoo, but do not use the same shampoobottle if it started with that....save the bottle though, I saved some of the bottles I used then for future examination. Adhesives (glue) in labels are often made either from rubber or acrylates. I would NOT recommend this in any other case, but since you suspected glue and it IS still only on your hands only you could try to use a solvent on your hands, water as whe know doesnt seem to do the trick, but if you have glue/silicones/plastic components on hands a solvent like ( In sweden we have a medical solvent for removing glue from band-aids called bensin, the same thing used in cars but, more purified for use on skin) that are VERY effective for removing glue residues, and fat residues )I don´t know the purified name in english but basicly it is gasoline. naftha could also work. Again, dont try this if you are sticky all over, but for use one time only on hands it could work to solve if there is a residue. and prevent it from spreding. Use the product methodically from wrist working your way to the fingertips, using cotton swabs then rinse with water afterwords. you should feel the difference imediatly if it helps. The hands get a little dry from it thats normal. I use this if I accedently get a glue stain on hands by touching something. To prevent the same thing that happened to me the firts time when i t spead. Keep in mind that this types of products a toxic, but as i said, very effective as a solvent for certain types of residues. You could try to use it on two fingers first and then do the "do they stick together test".
Again plaese save the shampoobottle and other things used in the shower that migth have caused it.
Hope u and everyone else feel better soon!
