A member asked:

I always feel itchy after i take a bath. it doesnt matter whether the water is cold or warm. when i was younger, i used to think i was allergic to water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: It the itchiness after the bath or after rubbing with a towel. Try "drip drying' or using a fan. If that helps, it could be due to your sensitivity to mast cell release from rubbing. Wish you good health!
