Most likely your skin is sensitive to the soap or shampoo you are using.

My boyfriend feels itchy after he takes a bath. We moved into a new apartment about 3 months ago, and ever sense then it has been a problem. Alot of people will suggest to use a lotion and all that, but its THE SHOWER thats HURTING your skin. Doesn't matter what lotion you put on afterwards.
Most likely its the water your using. Might need a sofetner.

Either the water you are using contains a high amount of sulfa which is a high known allergy itself or allergic to the soap.
Best thing to do is try using AVEENO. It's an all natural oatmeal soap. Its what I use. It will treat allergy rashing and hives as well as prevent further outbreaks. Meanwhile have the water tested and do some soap tests. That would mean washing an arm with a different soap. You will find out what the allergy is and be able to find replacements or fixes to the problem and be back enjoying baths using normal soaps again.

Your bath water is too hot. It is drying out your skin. If you do take a hot bath, don't soak for longer than 20 minutes. After wards, take a cool shower. That will help exfoliate the dead cells that have come to surface from the bath.
Moisturize afterwards.

Try this:
"Blend oatmeal, Vanilla extract and baking soda. Add to a tub with warm water and sit in for 30-60 minutes. "
That will make your skin more soft and not itchy. also you can apply baby oil right after you get out of the shower.
and of course make sure you are not allergic to the soap - try to use a different brand.

It could indeed be allergies to your soap. Or there could be something in your water. Try using slightly cooler water for your bath. Another thing you can try is lotion right after you bathe because your skin could be itching because the natural oils have been stripped away.
Good luck!

No it is not there could be two reasons:
You are very dirty and it is just the dirt
You have dry skin
You should try to take showers and bath 3 or more times a day, use lotion on your skin as well if it persist see a doctor or get some anti-itch lotion

Your bath water was too hot and has dried out your skin causing it to itch. Never take a HOT bath....lukewarm is prefered and always use a good moisturizer while you skin is still slightly damp. Happy Monday!

It could be that you are allergic to the soap you are using, you didn't rinse well enough or you had a really hot shower (that makes me itchy, but I'm not sure if that is normal).

Maybe your water was too hot or you can try using a water softener in your bath. After you get out use moisturing cream.

I find its best to take a bath in cool water..Cold water stops skin from itching.. If a bug bites you or for any itching, cold water or an ice cube stops the itch on the spot... :)
