Hi Bruno. We do not prescribe any treatment or make any diagnoses on this platform. Without knowing what is causing the itching it can be difficult to guide you to what could help in terms of a remedy. Temperature changes may trigger the itch receptors which is why you are finding this occur after a bath. Chlorine is another matter altogether as it is known to irritate the skin with some people experiencing an irritation more easily than others.

Thanks for this thread and the physician in the house. I have been having this 3 minutes body itching after a cold bath. since i was 12 years old and now I’m 41. First, I thought it was allergies to certain foods like eggs or alcohol, it actually reduced when I stopped consumption of the mentioned foods. But I noticed that this always happens during the summer period whenever i take a cold shower because the itching after bath during the winter (due to warm water bath) never occurs. Due to this temperature effect, I started suspecting chlorine in waters because i could remember I use to have severe itching after bath when I bath in well water and swimming pool. What could be the exact remedy or solution to my problem. Please help!!!

In reply to helen. helen, do you itch only after contact with hot water or also lukewarm water? Do you itch only after washing hair? Do you itch even without using any soap or shampoo? Does any rash appear during or after bath? From when do you have this problem? How old are you? Do you have any allergies or are you taking any medicines? Do you have any chronic disease? Does anyone else living with you have the same problem?
