What Causes Dried And Tightened/shrunken Mouth?

The roof of my mouth has a texture to it like on a football. It feels kind of like when your fingers get pruney from being in the water too long. It doesn't hurt it just feels weird. It every once in awhile gets dry then it feels uncomfortable like it feels like it shriks or tightens up? Can you tell me what is wrong?
