Is aquagenic pruritus a recognized condition, disease or allergy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Though it is rare, aquagenic pruritis or urticaria is a real condition. A board certified allergist/immunologist can best help you with the diagnosis and treatment.

Yes, it is real: Itching after bathing in hot water is real, peculiar and may be a clue to internal disease. It can be seen with polycythemia rubra vera, a condition of too many red cells somewhat akin to leukemia. Check with your doctor...
