My skin sticks together like it has double sided tape on it where it comes together like the crooks of my arms and legs, neck area ... and now my tongue and cheeks and lips and roof of my mouth sticks. It s no like having dry mouth you get with medication.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sticky skin in the crooks of arms and legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to glucosamine chondrotin as its side effects , As some glucosamine sulfate products are made from the shells of shrimp, lobsters or crabs, there is concern that glucosamine products might cause allergic reactions in people who are allergic to shellfish. It is also important to identify trigger factor . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper treatment . For now take anti histamine like benadryl twice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
