I feel itching on my whole body after taking bath.. . what to do ?

Not too uncommon: Itching is the body's response to irritants on the skin surface. The water from your bath can be a skin irritant either from lengthy contact or incomplete drying. Hot water temperature can be a factor causing surface blood vessels to dilate. Certain soaps, shampoos, etc can contribute. Rx: short bath/shower, cool/lukewarm water, rub with hand, air dry, vaseline/calamine lotion. Good wishes:)
