hello everyone,
I'm a 22 year old female and I have struggled with sever itching after showers for years now. Unlike some of you, it occurs during winter and summer months.. Some worse than others. I'm healthy, and do not have dry skin. I've tried using unscented soaps along with ultra moisturizer body wash, baby soap and oil, even NO soap, and no type of rag. All with no hope. My itching is to the point that I dread shower time and will put it off for as long as possible, with the help of baby wipes and dry shampoo. The itching is only on my legs and arms, and shaving? You can forget that. I AM MISERABLE IN MY OWN SKIN! I've never mentioned it to my doctor in fear that she would think that I am crazy.. But seeing you all here with the same problem makes me feel much better about the issue. There have been times where I've itched so bad that I've used a hair brush and literally clawed my skin. I've found no relief in anything other than taking some type of anxiety pill before showers and I can't make myself feel like that's okay. It's not, I shouldn't have to drug myself up just to be comfortable doing something that others can do normally. Has anyone found anything that will work? I'm open to try any and everything at this point. I cannot stand it any longer. Please help me!?
