You might be allergic to any of them

its either your sponge, water or towel

Try a foam sponge...just usual soap not medicated and use hotwater with disinfectants like dettol, savon, etc...don't use a towel allow air or a fan to dry your body for you.

Pls do let us know these experiences outcome

@toluayo93

Terribly sorry about the discomfort you are going through.

I'll share my professional thoughts with you, but I'm slightly uncomfortable with prescribing via anonymous forum

This form of itching is not uncommon? It may be hereditary (in which case we can only palliate). It is also a symptom of a hematologic cancer (which is why I think you should see a doctor who will do some tests to rule that out). It can also be the somatic manifestation of a psychologic pathology.

The exact mechanism is unknown, that is why definitive therapy is difficult. In many people, it disappears in the same strange way it started

Please, don't use disinfectants or things of the like. It is not a matter of changing your soap. They will only worsen your problem by irritating your sensitive skin.

After bathing, don't dry your body aggressively. Use petroleum jelly based cream e.g Vaseline/ Baby Oil

May God give you respite.

LIKELY CAUSES
Itching and Water; We may be surprised to find out that water is an irritant on the skin surface. Despite
water being so essential for life and around 70% of our body being composed of water,
it can be a problem if it remains on the skin for too long. Solutes in the water like salt or
chlorine may be more of an irritant but even untainted water that is safe to drink can
cause the skin to itch. However, with itching after bathing the trigger is a result of
water being on the skin for too long either due to a very long bath or not wiping completely dry after bathing.

Itching and Temperature The temperature of the bathing water is another factor to consider. Very hot water that
may not burn the skin and trigger pain could lead to itching. Hot water causes the
surface blood vessels on the skin to dilate (widen) and blood rushes to the area. This
can cause abnormal sensations or prematurely activate receptors. Sometimes if there is
minor injury to the skin or an allergy then the heat can further exacerbate it and make
the symptoms intense. Furthermore hot water can dry the skin excessively.
Soaps, shampoos and even toothpaste can be some of the irritants thats trigger itching
when it comes into contact with the skin. Soap and shampoo are commonly used
during bathing. While most of the time it is not an irritant, some types can irritate the
skin and even trigger allergic reactions. Similarly toothpaste can be a problem
particularly when brushing the teeth while in the shower. The toothpaste may drip on
to other parts of the body where it can irritate the skin if not thoroughly removed.

Causes of Itching After Bathing Water: Not drying the skin properly after bathing. Steam exposure without properly drying can have a similar effect. Heat: Hot water can irritate the skin, dry it excessively and worsen existing inflammation. Toiletries: Soaps, shampoos and toothpaste should be removed thoroughly. Scrubbing: Vigorous cleaning by scrubbing with a loofah or similar object can injure and irritate the skin. Dry skin: Water and soap can dry skin which may only become apparent after bathing. Skin diseases: Inflammation on diseased skin may be exacerbated by bathing. Hypersensitivity: Heat and vigorous scrubbing can heighten abnormal skin sensitivity an injure the skin.
Infections: Certain microbes in the water can infect the skin while bathing.
Now make sure you take note of those things, and start doing the reverse.
Then I'll recommend you go for these natural supplements
Avocado soap,
propolis Crème and
aloe moisturizing Crème
you can meet me if you don't know how to get them

Try using hot or warm water for bath and see how it goes.

It happens to me when I use cold water or have malaria. ..
