  5. For the past two weeks, my neck has been really sticky. No matter how much I wash it, within 10 minutes, it gets sticky again. I sweat moderately, and I've never experienced this before. I've tried water, soap, and even bathing, but my neck gets sticky again in 5-10 minutes. How can I cure this?
