Why amy I itchy?

Recently for the past 2 weeks, I keep having this problem. I take a shower and everytime I get out of a shower, my legs and arms start itching like crazy. I even noticed that my face gets a little dry also. And this is really odd for me because I normaly have very oily skin. What is going on? And how can I stop the itching?

Have you recently started using a new soap? You could be allergic.





Or maybe you started using a new detergent and the towels are irritating your skin.





Or maybe your skin is dry. Try moisturizing and see if it helps.
Reply:dryness/ rashes/ allergies maybe u shd switch to a ph balanced non soap alternative such as organic cleanser
Reply:It could be a number of things. Depending on where you are, something might be pollinating that you're reacting to for the first time, although the fact that this happens when you're coming out of the shower makes that less likely.





Another possibility is that your skin is reacting to the detergents you use to wash your towels (even if it has never reacted before, this is something that can develop). Tide is really bad for that. If you think this might be the case, your best bet is to either put stuff through the rinse cycle twice or, even better, change detergents altogether.





However, this sounds more like maybe you're developing a mild eczema, in which case you'd need a topical cream prescribed by a doctor. Eczema can come and go through life (although once you get it, it seems to be more a question of degree than of it disappearing). Consider starting with a moisturizing cream that is not perfumed. Also change to a skin-soothing body wash, such as Aveeno (no perfume).





Good luck!
