I experience a severe itchy on my stomach,thighs,and arms after a bath.its so severe that at times i hate bathing..its worse when its raining and i f i see filthy things..how to treat this..helg me before i tear myself

If I was you I would see a dermatologist. Honestly I think you may just have dry skin. When someone has dry skin, soaps can cause your skin to be extremely itchy. Try some non-perfumed lotion.

EVERYONE want to tell you that you have dry skin. But my skin looks perfectly healthy in every other way, except I cannot get wet without scratching for an hour after. It does not just itch, it STINGS, makes me cry and scream. It is maddening.... The doctors do not seem to know what to do because i have not just gotten out of the bath when I go to the doctor and my skin looks fine. I have to believe it is hormonal or something...

I have the same EXACT problem described by ZaidMKhan . My Dad has it too and all of my siblings with the exception of one has it! hmmm, is there really no treatment?? I'm thinking there's definitely a genetic component though!!

I too have the same problem from quite a few years now. As I have read about my condition it seems that homeopathic remedies might be a good fit. I would recommend Psorinum 1M for itching after bath with cold water. I am yet to try it but I have seen of great results of this med. Be well!

Just experienced the same thing... it's been on and off and i haven't really tried experimenting... do i feel itchy if i use warm water or cold, with or without soap... BUT I read an article in the net and it talks about allergic reactions to water - water allergy in short... one mentioned this medical term, AQUAGENIC PRURITIS... Anyway, try to put oil on your skin before bathing, it prevents water from entering the pores of your skin and this lessens the itchiness...

Wow! so there's other people who've got this exact prob. it started when i was nine, and now i'm nineteen. mom says she did too, but it stopped when she grew older. but it doesn't happen when adrenaline is high and i'm possivby late for something. really HOPE to find an answer. till then, its cold water for me!
Good luck.

I have similar problem I hate bathing time. I wish there is a solution to this itching. I experience severe itiching on my thighs and hands and usually 15 -30 minutes after bathing it does not matter whether the water is hot or cold. I have tried to change soaps or even to the extent of bathin without soap but hey the problem seem not to disapper. Please someone help to solve the problem once and for all.

It's probably the chlorine in your water, read my testimonial at Chlorinefreeshower.INFO
