For some people, pruritus, which refers to itchy skin, is a constant battle. It can be difficult to understand exactly what causing the skin to itch is.

Itching may be most noticeable at night, during the day, or both. When there are itching symptoms, there can be a leathery or scary texture to the skin depending on the cause.

Itching can be caused by toxins on the skin such as poison ivy, poison sumac or grass oil, medications, liver disease, kidney disease, insect bites, hives, rare form of skin cancer, irritation from clothing, eczema, dermatitis etc, and many other conditions, or it can remain unexplained. Infectious causes of itching include sexually transmitted diseases (STD), parasite such as scabies, fleas, bedbugs, pinworms, lice and viral rashes.

Medically, itching is known as pruritus. Perhaps the best definition of itching is by the response it evokes – it’s a feeling that makes you want to scratch. Rash or redness can be present with itching from scratching or from the underlying condition.

Another sign is when you notice dandruff on your hair. This dandruff tends to be ignited the moment you pour water on your head and uses a sponge to scrub it and towards all your body.

The itching may cause redness of your skin but in all the itching only occur after bath and last just 15mins maximum.

If you notice, each time you bath without sponge or by not rubbing the sponge on your head and bath does not cause any itching for the day, so that shows it’s the dandruff on the hair.

The most common cause for itching to occur after a shower is dryness of the skin. Dry air, soaps, hot water, these can deplete the skin of essential oils and nutrients, making it dry. This makes the nerves more sensitive, causing one to feel itchy.

Another cause which I noticed personally is dandruff from the hair. If you have dandruff, you are bound to itch after bath. This occurs whenever you use the sponge to scrub your hair during shower and immediately after you wipe your body with a towel, the itching starts lasting for about 10-15mins.
