I've had itchiness for years now, especially every time i shower. can that cure did i see a dermatologist?

Itchy skin: The heat from a shower can be causing a reaction similar to hives. This may be helped by using an antihistamine such as cetirizine. Or, it could be that the shower is drying out your skin. Use warm (not hot) water, keep the showers short, and dry off entirely as soon as you get out of the shower (don't air dry). Use a moisturiser before you leave the bathroom to lock in skin moisture. Gentle soap.
