Itchy after water contact, especially showers. it disappears for months and comes back. any season, i use medicated lotion to moisturize. whats wrong?

Pruritus: It may be associated with the medicated shampoo or it could also be associated with something you eat prior to shampooing.I would try an non medicated shampoo and watch what you eat prior to rhe onset of the itch.
