Red, itchy blotches on body after showering
411 answers - active on Mar 5th 2022
As soon as I step out of the shower, all these little red bumps and blotches appear on by upper body, especially my upper chest. These bumps are really itchy and cover my arms, chest, and back. I have no idea what is causing this. I have tried switching different shampoos and body washes, thinking I can rule different things out. I have tried no scent shampoos and sensitive skin body wash. What is wrong with me??!!??!!

You might have aquagenic urticaria. Basically after at least ten seconds of any body parts exposed in water they start getting red rashes and stuff. Google it, you might have it. But it's very rare so maybe not.
Do a parasite cleanse and candida cleanse, for your system do it annually. I know from personal experience....
Fix digestion, try enzymes
Take probiotics daily and religiously
Cut out or drastically reduce your intake of sugar and processed foods.
Reduce junk food and probably best not to eat too much gluten (hard to breakdown)
Good luck and feel good : ))

I have the same problem, right after I get out of the shower I have these red spots on my upper chest, arms and neck. I was just wondering... how many of you have well water. That's what I have and I was thinking that might be the case. Also my mom said it might be the water temp, but at this point I just don't know what to think. PLEASE HELP

Sorry but why would it be lice if you have just gotten out of a hot shower? Doesn't make much sense to me.

I have this problem as well! I come out of the shower and have itchy red marks over my chest, stomach and back and they disappear after about 30 minutes after my shower. It also happens to me at the beach, pools and when I sweat. Everyone asks me what is it has I have no idea!
I have the same thing and I was thinking I have Aquagenic Urticaria. It's a rare disease where you get red "rashes" after you get out of water that itch.
This is the definition I found of of wiki:
Aquagenic urticaria, also known as 'water allergy' and 'water urticaria', is a rarely diagnosed form of physical urticaria. It is sometimes described as an allergy, although it is not a true histamine-releasing allergic reaction like other forms of urticaria. The defining symptom is a painful skin reaction resulting from contact with water. This may also be the effect of different temperatures of water, such as cold or hot, and can flare with chemicals such as fluorine and chlorine.
I hope this helps :)
This may be chiggers. I have been told by a doctor you should take a hot bath with a cup full of bleach to get rid of them. You get them from forest areas or certain plants.
