What is the reason for itching all over the body after taking a bath

Skin itching after bathing is a relatively common symptom. Comparatively speaking, skin itching after bathing mostly occurs after bathing in autumn and winter. The most important symptom is inexplicable itching, but sometimes it will be normal for a period of time. In fact, there are many reasons for itching after bathing. Common ones include skin towel allergies, hot water scalds, seasonal itching and other basic causes. Let’s talk about them below.

The weather is dry in winter, and many people think that if they take more showers, the surface of the skin will absorb some moisture. In fact, this is a very wrong perception. Hydration is to regulate the distribution of moisture from the inside. Taking a shower too frequently in winter can also easily cause skin itching. Shenzhen Gushengtang dermatologist Yang Ying told us that because the outermost layer of human skin is called the stratum corneum, there is a layer of sebum film on it, which is the protective barrier and moisturizing factor of the skin. Once it is damaged, it will cause itching. Here I would like to tell friends who feel itchy skin that maybe your symptoms are caused by this, so don’t wash every morning and evening, or rub your skin every day when you take a shower.

Dry skin can also cause itchy skin, which refers to the discomfort caused by lack of moisture in the skin. The main symptoms are tight skin, dry and peeling skin in some parts, and itching all over the body after bathing.

The above are the most common reasons for itching all over the body after taking a shower. Once itching symptoms appear, it is recommended that you try not to scratch with your hands. You can take some anti-allergic drugs when appropriate, but in future baths, be careful not to adjust the water temperature too high, keep a light diet, and pay attention to moisturizing dry skin.
