I start itching after every shower and antihistamines aren't working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness?: Good morning, itching after bath is a very common symptom in many especially in those with atopic dermatitis. Water from skin, when evoporates after you come out of shower, draws energy needed for conversion from water to vapor state from the cells of skin causing irritation of nerve endings, and itching results. Apply cereve moisturizing cream on whole body after bath daily.
