Sticky Skin Has Worsened To Something Unimaginable!

[sec6565]

I have had a condition for a year when my skin becomes sticky when it is wet, then becomes normal when it completely drys.  All my doctors keeps sending me to other doctors who just basically tell me they think i'm crazy.  even my whole family,when i explain my symptoms think it's all in my head.  What is so upsetting about it is that I wear plastic gloves to keep whatever it is I've got from them.  and I remove the gloves, my fingers actually stick together when I remove them until the skin dries.  Now  all my fingers, face, lips arms legs everything on my body feels as if there is a thin, film or something that noone else can see, visually but me.  I know how my own skin feels normally.  sometime it feels like I am actually wearing a mask something. There is some redness but mostly noone, including my doctors can observe anything.  My dermotologist says hes never heard of such a thing, and when I told my family this,  they think I'm making it all up!  Yet I know I've got something i can't even explain to anyone anymore.  So i just quit talkig to them about it.   I have watched this thing spread from my underarms to my whole body then into my mouth and lips.  My eyes also now have the same stickyness around them and now even inside the eye causing vision problems and ocassionally an inability to clear the film from my eyes.  There is a severe burning sensation on my face now and believe it or not, I get strange flavors in my mouth, like an extreme salty taste, a bitter peppery taste and  now even, if I had to discribe it to anyone , i'd have to call it a bitter, salty mud taste.  There is a film in my mouth and teeth too.  I can't stand this anymore, I feel like I am a complete freak.  I've have strange chest pain and shortness of breath issues, which i think are completely related to my skin issue somehow, because the film I can feel this film down the back of my throat and my breathing worsens like a bad cold that will just not go away.  but the doctors just  say lose weight, and exercise.   Which i'm doing, but Like thats going to help my skin problem.  I cant find any answers.  I now am on arsinal of vitamins and suppliments trying to  find something, ANYTHING that might by chance correct whatever this is..  And I just keep watching it worsen..  It is so disheartening.   i met a guy online who said hes had similar symptoms and that he spread it to his whole family through showing inn the same shower.. it seems the only way to make people understand what I've got, is if they had it too.  Sure would like to find someone who an relate  it ***** out here alone!

A checked me over, at first he wasn't too sure.  I gave him a day or so after taking some samples of skin surface stuff.  The result was that my body was trying to extract something (a chemical or more).

There are certain cleaning products I can't get too much of.  One is Lysol, too much will cause problems for me especially when the air is filled with other stuff.  One morning I had cleaned a bunch of stuff at my work place and it was all in the air conditioning.  I Lysol everything.  That day I had chills and a fever.  I thought I was coming down with the flu.  But it felt like I was about to die.  Seriously!  I immediately took a hot shower and saw water beading off and the waxy sticky film was all over my body.  Couldn't wash it off no matter what I used.  I had the hottest water on as well.  When I was done and I dried off I went into a blanket and couldn't take it any more.  I took an asprin prior to going into the blanket.  I then tried to sweat and sleep.  After three hours of sweating and sleeping I woke and felt better.  My body felt normal again.  I took another shower and noticed everything was fine again.

This happened again not long ago.  I was able to trace everything back to Lysol as the culprit.  When I am exposed to a lot of it my body quickly reacts.  

So the sticky waxy stuff is actually sweat (oils) and what ever it is extracting.  This is not GMO like someone claimed.  There is obviously something your body doesn't like and it is trying to get rid of it.  One of our bodies defenses against toxins inside is to sweat and the other is a fever.  

To wash it off is good but to sweat it all out first is better.  Remember to drink water to help sweat.  My condition didn't allow me to do anything but to wrap up in a blanket and sweat it all out as I shivered and wondered whether I was about to die or not.

Good to have two people look at it.  First your internist and the second is to have an allergist or dermatologist.

Good luck.

Yes I feel off of this is tru but there’s some lil White bug that flies out of you and then comes back on your skin and sticks you and then becomes into the wax film....

I first noticed this condition and been trying to heal for 7 years. However it has been present for over 25 and has caused even worse problems. It is wrapped over my entire body and feels like I have been wound with thousands of hairs. It starts off sticky, then dries. When it dries, it breaks up into fine thread like substance and it wrapped all over entire body including mouth. Everyone thinks Im crazy and the doctors have been no help. I never talk to anyone about this because.....how do you rationally explain this. It is physical, tangible, and the build up has been going on for over 20 years.It is so painful sometimes as my body is strangling itself. The stuff is anchored by hair and under finger and toenails. I have tried everything. Its dissolved by water, witch hazel, or taking a bath with vinegar. The only problem is, the build up is so thick that, when I dry off it hardens and my body starts to tighten and seize. Its literally like I'm wrapped in layers of fine thread and it feels like that too. The only solution I have found, and this a completley random solution: I tried a black light thinking it might react, and it does. It dissolves under exposure. However its so thick and everywhere on my body and such a severe case of it, that It works, but I never get rid of it all. I have been to doctors and emergency rooms as its in mouth throat and strangles my neck. As Im writing this is so bad I can barely type. I may go to emergency room again today, but Im using the lblack light again as it gives relief.

Please let me know if Mayo Clinic can help you.  I really don't want to deal with this for another year which is at least an estimate by my doc.

My skin feels rubbery or waxy when dry.  I saw an Infectious disease doctor at John Hopkins in Baltimore Maryland.  I hope this will help someone else.  This condition is horrid.  She told me only time and probiotics would help me.  She couldn't promise that my skin would regrow good bacteria on it.  She said "that we don't know the answer to yet."  We have good and bad bacteria and yeast on our skin, sinuses, bowel, vaginal area.  When we disturb it's balance through drugs we create this problem.  stress and sugar feed the problem too.  I had skin issues for years both  red face and acne but, never this.  I forget how to spell the term for red face.
