Human Postage Stamp: This is an interesting problem (and, when the doctor says"interesting,"you know someone is suffering).Very little is known about this"sticky skin"problem.There has been an associations with certain medications but I'll bet it has more to do with the problems necessitating the medications.Think logically:something activates when wet, absent when dry.I suggest you research 'skin mucopolysaccharides'
