A member asked:
After bathing, some reddish regions are appearing on my skin and are somewhat itching, is it an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: It is common to get red after a hot shower or bath. Skin may itch if it is dry or just reactive. Try using aveeno bath (oatmeal) and see if it stiops the itching. It is helpful to use sarna lotion after bathing to stop the itching.
