Sticky/Waxy Skin worse when wet

Hi all,

My skin gets incredibly sticky/greasy/waxy when wet, it becoming impossible to shower, shave and wash hands etc

I’ve had it progressively for about 4 years now. I go through 4 towels to get dry after washing but my skin ends up sore also because of the sticky film. Feel it around my mouth, nose, eyes also.

Seen a dermatologist, my doctor and they just say it’s nirmal from sweat! It’s not normal, someone please help I’m in despair over it, nobody believes me either it awful.

It’s really slowly driving me insane, also damaging my skin due to the friction I think.

Help.
