How come when after i shower i flake for several days?

WATER OR SOAP?: Could be several issues like your water in your town is hard meaning filled with minerals causing dryness or your soap is too harsh. Use a milder soap like ivory or aveeno (oatmeal) and consider getting a water softening system. Many soaps that are antibacterials may cause dryness and should be limited in their use just washing the hands.
