Dry skin: The most likely cause is dry skin,which can get worse after showering,especially with very hot water.I recommend that you generously apply moisturizer right after showering and consider taking an oral antihistamine if that doesn’t help. Sometimes breaking the itch cycle with that medication can help. If not, please see your doctor. Other causes could be medications,foods,clothing,soaps,detergents.
