Thank you so much.it's been years now itching after bathing this is so irritating.

I had this itch for almost 7 years now, it comes to a point where I hated taking shower or bath! but I think I am good now (will sort of) these are solutions I came up with after long 7 years of trying and doing something different to lessen my suffering: 1) take a cold or mideam water, try the best to not take your shower in hot or warm water, if possible you can start warm and make the water colder after a minute or two. 2) don't take shower too long, sadly I think the less you shower the less the irritating become. 3) shampoo or using the soap you want to do them quick and fast. 4) before showering prepare something very silky and thin to wear (this is VERY IMPORTANT) I found that silky cloth or thin one can really calm down the irritating of my skin and calm it all together, wearing cotton or any sort of heavy cloth doesn't really do me will after showering if anything it makes my skin irritating even more (don't wear underwear with these clothes, only the silky cloth should be touching your skin). 5) turn on the AC before showering and make the room cold (or very cold in my case) and put what you are going to wear under the AC so the cloths too become cold (I found this very relaxing and it calm my skin irritating very much once I wear them and they are cold) (PS: this step isn't healthy because of the cold and it might harm your body in the future, but sometimes I really don't care). 6) after doing all of these things and you still feel itching, just don't scratch yourself and it might go easier after few minutes or worse, in my case it can be good or bad, just don't scratch a lot because the faster you scratch yourself or forcibly scratching will make the skin irritate even more. one thing I found very strange and very helpful 100% is what they call the moroccan bath, there is some places who are specialty with these kind of baths and I took one (though very expensive around 80$ for the bath with the treatment) what happen is they covered my body with a lot of herbs, mud, natural oils etc... then I took a steam 2 times one with the herbs and oils and the other while covered by mud and between those scrubbing my body and there is a lot of dead skins that come off I though I was a snake at that moment, anyway after 30 min in heaven I felt my body was very light and I never itched, so I tried to do that by myself and it backfired at me like hell! I hated myself for doing that by myself, my skin was irritating for 2 hours I think (normally it is 20-35 min), but once I used to go to this gym and they have steam room, it was very relaxing for my skin and it helped (a little) to lessen my skin irritate, hope this helped and don't forget to share.

Hi, Thanks for sharing this. I too get the Itch after shower or swim) for years, My Father and a Relative also has this. I find it is much worse in the mornings, so I only have a shower in the evenings. Also it is worse on Humid days.Cold shower and Cold air-conditioning helps alot. The best conditions for me is to have a Shower in the evenings and then walk straight into a dry, very cold, room. The worst conditions for me is; to have a Shower in the morning on a hot humid day, This will cause my legs and arms to become itchy for about 30 minutes to an hour, and it drives me crazy. Jumping and moving helps, I believe it may be related to Circulation / Blood pressure.

I'm just so relieved a bit that I'm not alone in this mess. My husband use to laugh at me and it's so embarrassing. I'm scared of taking a shower cos I end up looking like a hot mess afterwards. I stop using spoongs and had to get a special towel for myself. what I normally do is I have to take a bath 1 or 2 hrs Bf i go out. Cos I have to lock myself up and scratch for like 30min or more. Some tips here are helpful and I will be trying then out and see if they work. I just hope
