Loratidin is another option...when u consider the sedative effect of piriton especially in the morning (b.d for 5days)

Chief, I will suggest she/he takes the piriton nocte.....it will serve I think

Sometimes your skin may be reacting to your towel or bathing soap

Take 4 Tablespoon of TAAM Herbal Remedy Morning and Night for 2weeks, you will never feel such again

Now try this and make sure u come back and thank me later even as you hate Biafrans

There is every chance that your body is reacting to its gluten intake

Therefore everybody both in the zoo and Biafran land that get itching should drastically cut off from gluten. Shakena. U must forget that ewedu super charged soup for months until your body build back it's intake response

Now cut off eba and if you want swallow then it must be pounded yam cuz the protein in its content have received serious beaten in the process of boiling.

Cut off biscuit. Fish. Egg. Milk.

Then stay away from beer

Stay away from corn flaKes. Bread as well. Number 1 source hm

Eat boiled rice of course it's raw protein has been boiled.

Start this week and notice how all that scratching is fading off.

Now I am no doctor but nwa Chineke . A child of God. Knowledge comes naturally .

Please do not take any afonja herb of. Na lie be that

Doctors and all concerned nairalanders, I really need to know if there is any treatment for itching especially after morning bath. I have used up all means known to me including, bathing hot water, applying aboniki after bath, etc. I brought this to nairaland believing to get a lasting solution. Thank you my good people.
It happens to me too. Make sure you don't use sponge on your laps and legs.. Use only soap to rub those areas.. And be mindful of the towel you use

Change where you normally hang your towel after use, or change your towel and observe it first.

I've gone through this, it's not your water or soap it's simply your skin that gets irritated once sponge goes on it. Just use soap and water no sponge. I stopped using sponge 6 years ago and I'm peace with myself.

Your condition is called aquagenic pruritus. Just google for a cure, you might get a solution.

I use to suffer from this in the past. I tried the cure I got from google. I don't know whether they worked though but I suddenly stopped suffering from it. When it stopped, I didn't know

Stop bringing such cases on social media to get counsel. That's how someone will have typhiod and instead of visiting hospital they'll go for self medication, before you realize it it's too late. Op, go see a dermatologist or go to a general hospital; one will be assigned to look into your case.

I have been through this many years ago. if you want a solution to ur problem pls stop using sponge to bath. use only soap. Any type of soap without sponge is ok.


The last time I used sponge was in 1998 and there was no itching of any sort. In 2005, I tot over the years it would have stopped and I tried to use a new sponge I bought to my amazement the itching was much. I quickly ran to the bathroom for another round of bath. till today I don't use sponge.


Dirty towel or soap or water is not the problem but stop using sponge of any kind. just rub soap on ur body and use hand to wash it down. You can bath as many times as u like and there will be no negative reaction. just try it now after reading this piece and thank me later.

It could be all of the aforementioned and it could be none. Could be idiopathic (i.e. without any known or obvious cause). Google 'aquagenic pruritus'...

It's from the water. You need to opt for another source of water.

1) use a mild soap
2) moisturizer your body after bathing. I tried out a lot but Palmer's cocoa butter formula with vitamin e did it for me.
3) till you find the right moisturizer use loraditine
4) visit a dermatologist

It's the water you use. Happened to me some years back and I changed environment and it stopped. Use hot water always, new sponge every two weeks. These lessens the itchiness.

I used to experience this for years.

Do you use sponge?
Do you use dirty or wet towel?

The solution to your problem may lie in the answers to those 2 questions.

I know someone experiencing something similar, but happens only when having a shower with water dat isn't really hot. Cold, warm and slightly hot water causes that itchy feeling for this particular person, the water has to be significantly hot. Another remedy is doing proper workout so to sweat, for some reason that helps stop the itchy feeling from arising.

It's been happening to me for as long as I remember.
I have stopped bathing with sponge, it reduced slightly.
I have stopped bathing with cold water, it reduced slightly.
Tried different types of soaps , to no avail.
But I have noticed that I don't itch in the mornings when am rushing out to work etc. I only itch if I take my bath and am staying back at home or after my evening bath.
My wife thinks it's psychological.
Its called Aquagenic Pruritus. Itchy reaction to water or even your own sweat. No known absolute treatment yet. Manage it with hot bath & air conditioned room. Heat, noise & dirt (towel)aggravates the reaction.
Some drugs initiates semblance of relief ( I dont know why)e.g omega h 3 suppement tonic
