I get red blotches on my arms, chest and back after showering. most of these then disappear. but a couple remain very faded? what is this?

Likely urticaria: Some individuals are particularly sensitive to temperature and touch and can developed transient raised red areas due to release of histamines. Normally not a cause for too much concern . Antihistamines can help. There are other forms of urticaria that can be more serious but what you describe sounds ok
