I also have this problem but my feet and hands are sticky and wet but there's a filf flying out of my hands and feet . I noticed it when something like fiber hair was hitting my face and going into my eyes. Also have fungus on feet and hands but now it's all over my body I almost forgot a black hair like with no roots coming out of nails. However, Someone please tell me how I stop the the spray fiber from spraying out. This is crazy and yes I was also told I was losing my mind and that they worry about me. I don't believe my was caused by mold it started by catching the fungus from someone else then it stared oozing sticky and flying fiber. So please tell how do I stop it from oozing spraying out

I have a very similar condition for past 3 years. When I substituted bar soap with 'showergel' (Nivea men's and others), the stickiness which used to remain until skin dried, totally disappeared. Once in a while I try washing face with soap to check if condition still persisted. It unfortunately still does. One intriguing thing is, this stickiness happens not just with bar soap but also using face wash but again not with showergel. Am now interested in composition/ingredients used between soaps and showergels to try to narrow down what causes this stickiness.
Hi have you ever had any acne treatments. I am investigating a possible link. I too have sticky skin since 2010.
It sounds like Acquired Cutaneous Adherence, or sticky skin syndrome, and it's quite rare. It's often caused by a medication, but not always, and it's not progressive, but is troublesome. Usually, when the skin is completely dry it's not sticky, but that doesn't seem to be the case with you, so it may not be this. You can find a discussion of this at...

and may be able to get a better answer.
Someone know remedies for that now ?
hi everyone.. today i felt extremely happy because i finaly found all of you altogether.
first of all i had been through all the above mentioned symptoms.. but i never actually thought mold and pubic lice could be the culprits too.. but i can assure you its possible as i just found sone weird black mold in my bathroom. about the lice thibg its hard for me to wxplain but surely can be a part to look into too..
as how i get rid of the sticky stubborn weird film on out wholebody.. i sprays it with white vineger on my body from head to toe then jump into shower. . although it cant really fix the problrm but it can solve the uncomfortable conditionfor quite some time..get a spray bottle.. fill it up with white vinegar and mix around a cup of mouth wash.. any antibacterial mouth wash will do is to make the odur lesser.. i used purple Colour LISTERIN3 or mint Oral B Mouth wash.
my guess for this problem maybe its the anti perspirant i been using for years. i mention about this is because my sticky film on my body thibg started to happen all begin from my underarm.. any of you have the same point?
you may try it as for me it cause no harm as vinegar are organic n for sure would notcausing any seriousharm to our body when we just apply on our skin. try it n let us know the outcome and do let me know if you found the way to totally get rid of this problem. tq bye
Im thinking that this Skin Condition is from within,in so Using different soaps residue removals will not treat this! Its originating from inside the body. Something has gotten into the body, or originated from inside causing this! I get frequent doctor checkups and bloodwork all normal!
Try anacept jell from anacapa technoligies I had the exact same symptoms and all gone after a few days of anacept
Hi,
I've been working on this problem for about 7months , I've tried everything but what seems to work is parasite mediation if you have weight loss or chronic digestive issues, then baking soda baths,, once a day shower with sea salt scrub, make it yourself use warm sea salt water to wash your face hands this will help get rid of the sticky skin, that's not the cure the infection is still there so you must stay away from sugar and use a anti fungal cream over the counter this may sound strange but the otc yeast infection medication is what helped me. If your male you can apply it to your skin if you can't find a fungal cream Keep everything clean change sheets often, clothing washed bleach used for towels never share your towel ! you must keep it up. Will take a month or more but you'll see a difference once you use the sea salt. I've had to use eye drops due to the infection in both eyes sticky caused my eyes to almost feel glued and would leak out and the fungus would spread to my face hair This is a fungus. It can be overcome you just need not give up, Apple cider vinegar only the raw organic few tablespoons help with energy levels in just a few days get outside in the sun a few minutes if possible way healthy foods ... I hope you all feel better. I'm now seeing the positive changes the infection is starting to fade the sticky skin is less each day eyes clearing up and other symptoms are going away...
If this has happened to anyone after a contrast MRI that could be the culprit. Gadolinium based contrast dyes are dangerous and can stay in the body way longer than what was previously thought. There are many new studies showing this. I started having this horrible sticky/waxy skin almost immediately after. Yes, an apple cider vinegar bath helps but this truly is a nightmare. If anyone has had numbness/muscle pain with it and have had GBCA...that's it. Environmental toxins are usually the culprit for many odd skin issues.

One more thing it could be demodex mites. Look it up
Take a anti acid pill to lower the acidity in your body. Or drink baking soda tablespoon and water mixz. Sea salt and water mix on skin. Get tested for fungus so you can get on the right script. Sorry youre going through this. It sucks
Hi Everyone... I also have this "sticky skin awfulness", mainly in the creases of my skin (my eyelids are the worst) and it may also be inside my ear canals (that may be a separate issue although they get worse when my skin does, so...). I've been ill for decades now (with what doctors are now thinking is rare genetic disease involving immune function) so there are too many variables for me to say this with absolute certainty - BUT - I really do think there's something in the water that's causing this!!! (oh, I also get that waxy feeling on hands and when showering water beads up) But LISTEN!!! I recently found out that my apt. is in a federally funded toxic clean up site!!! There are chemicals - including oil based chemicals - in the earth and ground water (a two mile radius around me) and this stickiness DID start after moving here. Has anyone noticed that the water in their sink beads up like there'e still oil in it, even after scrubbing it so that NO oil should be there? If you notice any of these things, you may want to consider its in the water! However, I also wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one cause for this - but checking your water should be absolutely considered!! Test your water for contaminants! A (good) doctor told me about a quality water testing company, but I can't find that info now (I haven't done it yet but will soon) but do remember that it starts with "AAA" (something) try googling that and I'll also try to get back to everyone when I find it. I really wish everyone well, this is an AWFUL symptom - if for nothing else than the feeling of it never leaves you and makes you feel like you can never get truly clean. And, I'm sorry, but I just have to vent: Our medical system, and too many doctors in it, are just horrible! If these symptoms don't make us crazy - these doctors surely will!! Hang in there everyone! Wish me luck, as I wish for you!!! Hope this helps.
Try 6tbls Borax Powder.
2 cups Hot Water. 1/2 cup Hydrogen Peroxide 6% if you can get it if you can't just use 3%. 1 cup Methylated Spirits or Rubbing Alcohol combine all Wet with your Dry Ingredient. After showering & dripping off Standing in the shower dunk squares of Viva Paper towel into the mix sponge over the body then rub vigorously over every square inch of your body including the scalp.

Hey guys me and my family have been struggleing with the same symptoms as deb since june 2016.. i have been scouring the web and visited over 5 docs trying to get answers..this past summer we did start to get better but we were trying so many things we cannot pin point what helped .our money is exausted so we cannot afford to do everything again,so after tons of research and reading all comments on this.this is what i want to try for my family..we are going to pray 3 days a week for everone suffering and thank god for what we do have.also we are going to buy water and shower filters and drink nothing but water .then Buy tri salts from amazon and take 1tsp morning and night in 8 or 4oz of water because this is alkanizing but only twice per day because this is 12ph and our bodies cannot live in 12ph .clean our diet up completly nothing out nothing procesed and cut back on meat consumption and dairy products.get a good probiotic for all,vitamin D and vitamin C.then we will do the lemon vinegar soaks and another soak with 1 cup mustard seed per bath..wash everything in our house and vaccume everything buy new pillows and cover them with a protective cover .and use coconut oil to moisturize our bodies.i also bought a juicer and plan to look up juices for hair skin and nails and drink fresh juice everyday.. i know this sounds like so much but we are willing to try anything ..but im not sure what shampoo or soap to use so just going to try to find something natural without parabens or sulfates.. lastly we are going to find a naturopath to work with us and keep going to our conventional docs to try and rule out fungal bacterial or hormonal problems ..whatever this is stress makes it worse!!!. After 5 docs my whole family have been diagnosed with seborheic dermatitis,alopecia,and blepharitis..we are not all related by blood either all have seen different docs and they say none of this is contagious its gentics well we dont all have the same genetics so i do not buy this diagnosis.try to be strong people and know that god counts ur tears and u do matter.None of us are delusional either they are!!!! there will come a day when we get answers .
I've no answers. Just the same problem.
I have only recently been bothered by waxy hands. I notice it in the shower before I wash. They feel sticky/waxy and the water repels off them, Then after I wash, it disappears. Another website says it is too much sugar in the body and prediabetic. This makes sense with all the mold & candida comments, as sugar feeds mold. My son, when he was little had issues.. waxy grey scales that appeared in his hair and chronic athletes foot. Head & Shoulders works for keeping hair under control. No prescription lotions worked for erasing the foot problem. We did experiment with eating no sugar or carbs for 2 weeks. His foot fungus cleared up perfectly. It did return, but after research, I am convinced that to rid your body of fungus, the treatment must last for 4-6 weeks, just like the lotion applications would, if you picked the fungus up and it was topical only. In our case, it has gotten into our system. My son had to wait until he was 16 to take the anti-fungal pill, because it is not safe for your kidneys, but it did work = foot fungus gone.
Back to my waxy hands. I have taken on drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice in warm water every morning. I thought maybe this had some part in the cause of my problem. I am perplexed by the Vitamin C fix, as this would seem the opposite to me. I am not aware of mold in my home, but I know it can lurk behind walls. We have had moldy hose smells coming out of some of our water lines, so who the hell knows! May God bless us all and grace us with healing! I also appreciate people sharing as they look for answers. I also did have bad acne as a teen and used Accutane. I found that washing my face with warm water, scrubbing gently with wash cloth and using salicyclic acid face wash 2 times per day works pretty darn great for keeping face skin clear. My teenage daughter just came downstairs now and said she just started having sticky waxy hands in the same way I described, just until she washes her hair.. she says she has had this for 1 week now. OMGHelpUs!
It's an absobic acid defiency or vitamin C deficiency, called scurvy
. The cure 2000 mg of vitamin c 3 times a day for a month. U will notice a difference in a matter of days.. I also soaked in vitamin c. All my hair , eyelashes, eyebrows even pubic hair came out.I had 7 eye surgeries, 2 nose surgeries, the and an abundance of dental work.. it was on my teeth and even in my ears and navel. I will warn you, you have no idea how bad it is until it starts to go away..
I have had this problem for about 2 months-I will try the body wash also. Let you know how it works!
This may be seborrheic dermatitis, which does have a yeast connection. I've had similar issues. My derm took a biopsy and that was her diagnosis. Hair loss and scalp flaking are common even with sticky or oily hair. Talk to your dermatologist or research online, there are treatment options. I know this is an old post but others may find it with an Internet search. Good luck and don't be disheartened.
Everyone stop!!! Just completely stop I have sticky skin syndrome and that is linked to mold,. I know for certain when 100% and I have proof, so glad I found this website tonight and that others are going throufth this. I'm sitting in my car scrubbing my beard and skin raw with cotton swabs and alcohol.
This has been consuming my life for the last two years it's killing me and it killed my dog. I knew that apartment is killing us it was contaminated with mold even after they said they repaired it. I complained for your street that mold was growing in the kitchen cabinets under the sink management denied it and sent maintenance just wipe it down with bleach but it would only grow back.
So within the two-year timeframe I've been to multiple emergency rooms doctors dermatologist with no help and they're just concerned looks accusing me of being on drugs. I thought's friends that would believe me I've wiiped all of my money out trying to save the dog. My job is let me go I'm almost in the streets. I'll because I've been breathingin the forms of black veiny mold green fuzzy mold yellow story mold. The apartment had a leak in the ceiling slow leak that's living in California the mold was growing in the cabinets on utensils. they said they cleaned it sealed it off in the wall that's not true tough conditions related to this. The carpet will turn waxy Like an oil slick came over it.
Only New York and California recognize that Molde is deadly people and clearly this forum of people chatting right now all have been exposed to mold even if they haven't Realized or discovered it yet. I've lost everything but most of all is that I lost my beloved dog Liam because he was terribly sick and exposed to it more than I was I spent everything I owned on vet bills and I still lost him. I'm so ******* angry right now because I complained complained nothing was done for over year about it . Go search for places for mood people that it's ******* killing us.
I am glad to hear I'm not alone. My sticky skin started with just my hands about 6 months ago but now I feel it on my arms and the last 2 days it feels sticky around my mouth. It's scary and embarrassing. I've been wondering if it was a mold issue because our front-loading washer has mold issues and I'm the main one that does the laundry. I have tried tea tree oil under gloves at night but it hasn't helped. I'm going to try the Neutrogena body wash you mentioned since that can be used over the entire body. Thank you everyone for being open enough to post possible solutions and talk about this problem.
