Doctors in the house, help is urgently needed for one of my friends. Anytime he has a bath, his body itches BADLY. He told me about two weeks ago, i just told him to change his bathing soap. He said he had done this several times, but no show, my friend is now always afraid to have a bath, i spent the night @ his place and this morning after his bath,see itching . It was so severe, and lasted about 15 to 20 mins. i really pitied him. What can he do?
I also told him i thought it was genetical, but he said none of his family members had ever complained before. PLEASE HELP

Hi, guys,this case is best experience than read somewhere. I believe if there are those who should profer solution to itching after bath are those who have experienced it.I started noticing itching after bath when I relocated to a new house where the water is bole hole.
I used Izal, and change of the water it worked like magic.So the cause could be dirty water. I advice change of water and application of original dis-fectants.

This is my first contribution to nairaland; I registered cos I might have the answer to this question.
There are several reasons for an itching skin after taking a shower or bath, one reason from my personal experience is a loss of your body’s natural oil when you take your bath resulting to a dryer skin. Dry skin easily gets irritated & itchy when scrubbing with sponge or rubbing off water from the skin with a towel. Our skin needs this natural oil & a generous amount of moituring to keep it healthy.
Though bathing with soap, sponge, warm water feels very cleansing, it also helps to get rid of the body’s natural oil fast. But there are some simple step to help prevent excessive loss of oil or moisture in the skin during bath/ shower, which can trigger itching.
1. Bath/shower with cold or luke warm water.
2. Use soft sponge or soft body washing fabric only when necessary, I mean sometimes skip using body washing sponge/ fabric.
3. Use mild body soap.
4. Using a clean towel, don’t rub off your wet body too hard this can cause irritation to the skin, rather pat your body gently leaving it slightly damp
5. Apply a generous amount of non oily moisturizing cream on your skin while it’s still slightly damp, this helps to lock the cream into the skin quickly.
If you are using a shower hose especially with warm water, reducing your shower time could also help. Having contact with warm water for a long time will definitely wash away more of your body’s natural oil.
In summary keeping your skin moistened and retaining your body’s natural oil could be the key to eliminating skin irritation that can trigger itching on your skin. There are also other reasons for itching after bath

Try using a small towel as sponge. The skin is never clean or else our towels will not become dirty. I think it is the reaction of the oils secreted by skin that causes the reaction.


Hello.
Sorry I know this is a very old post but I'm having same issues.If I don't use sponge, my body won't itch.

But how will the skin be clean?Is it just using soap to rub all your body or how?
