Sticky skin syndrome or acquired cutaneous adherence is a condition where the skin becomes sticky and objects may adhere to it. It is occasionally caused by the use of pharmaceutical drugs and chemotherapy drugs.

Background

Sticky skin is a dermatologic condition where a person's skin may both stick to itself, and other objects. Sticky skin has been found in patients who take certain medications including retinoids or antifungals.[1] Also known as acquired cutaneous adherence, it can also be caused by the chemotherapy medication doxorubicin and ketoconazole.[2]
