I sometimes have the same problem, but not severe enough to relize an
idea I had:

using an additional primary sleeve on my wrist made of uncoated 
neopren. The manufacturers of suits have these sheets because the raw
lycra-covered neopren sheets have interim layers of the said stuff.
Its touch to the skin feels like it would suck to it at once.
My idea is to glue a wrist sleeve and donn this before entering into the
suit seal.
