Sticky Skin

[StickyDeb]

I desperately need HELP!  I have a horrible skin condition.  My skin is sticky all over and there is a waxy sort of film.  My hands and feet are the worst.  It feels like soda or honey is coating my hands and feet, with a lighter feeling on the rest of my body.  My socks stick to the bottoms of my feet.  It is worse after showering, washing hands etc. I use a green kitchen scrubber on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet but it doesn't get the film off.  My skin does not absorb anything; water, lotions.  Soap seems to not wash this off my skin yet at the same time seems to stick to the film.  My hair is also affected.  It does not absorb anything, the soap seems to stick to it and not rinse off.  Same with conditioner.  And my hair is either falling out or breaking off, I'm not sure which.  I also have a coating on my toungue.  I can't taste properly.  Everything tastes bitter.  And I constantly have a bitter taste.

  It began about eight months ago and has gotten progressively worse.

I also have a fingernail and toenail fungus.  I am afraid that the fungus has moved to my skin.  

I went to the dermatologist for the first time yesterday and she merely gave me a prescription lotion for extremely dry skin.  This actually made the stickyness worse.  I applied it to my hands and it just sat on top of this film and became even more sticky.  I washed it off, which took two rounds of washing, and the stickyness was worse.

I feel like this sounds crazy.  It is debilitating.  I find it difficult to do much of anything because I stick to anything I touch.  And I certainly don't want to pass this along to anyone else.

Has anyone else had this?

My sticky skin problem covered my whole body and was continuous, i.e. 24/7.  A dermatologist recommended using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash. It worked like magic. I believe it is the Salicylic Acid that solved the problem.

YeH -  Javel seems to be the solution :

I have been struggling with that for 1 1/2 month -
I cought it in trying shoes at store - for the 3rd time in 20 years.

2 previous times I used apple cider vinagre and after rinse with baking soda in warm water and showered the feet after -
it worked - but I had to throw away a few pair of shoes -

This time it started first to feet than to hands than to face and arms -
I tried all previous things - nothing worked -
I lost pairs of shoes -

As I walked bare foot in my place & the floor became sticky too where it was in wood -  I washed with vinagre - but did not do anything.

2 days ago - I said that's It ! -  I soak my feet in a bucket of warm water with 1/4 cup of soft javel - for 25 minutes -
and rinsed -  Great - Dry Feet since -

After I soaked my hands too - and apply same in my face - watching not to put any in eyes area -
I washed all my floors with more javel than for the body -
And clean all towels, clothes, carpets and shoes with same solution -

I am no more sticking so far from any part of my body - My floors are OK too.

Every time I cought that, it was trying shoes at store -
So Next Time:

When I returned from store for shoes - I will take a javel feet bath and clean my shoes entering my house -

I normally suffer from TOC - wondering if there is still finger prints left in my hands :-)

my guess  is..it is some type of thyroid dysfunction.....
test your basil body temperature,......under arm pit...
and check other symptoms for hypothyroid...also
see if  you have any dental infections...I know it
sounds wierd...but " it is where it aint".....

[reesesonline]

Can you elaborate on how a dental infection can cause these symptoms? You may of just explained these symptoms for me, but I also I'm recovering from losing everything due to mold.
