I don't think there's anything wrong with your touchscreen...
( as other humans around you don't have any problems with their hands and "can play normal" )
I think your right hand doesn't ground the screen as well as your left hand?
This can have something more to do with static electricity than anything else.
Are you using a prosthetic hand? :103-

Take off your shoes.
Magnets or metal shivs are common in some shoes these interfere with the grounding.

yes,
Your machine isn't grounded...might be a loose ground in the machine somewhere.
Are you using 2 or 3 prong plugs?
