It's been like this for like 6months now. When I am in the shower,I will start itching-not everywhere. Just my back,neck,parts of my face,and mostly in between my breasts where my bra sets,and under that. Starts itching like crazy! When I get out the shower I can see 1 little raised bump where the itching is coming from...Like today when I got out the shower I had like 4 bumps in diffrent spots on my face. Then with all the scratching I get red all over. It's not my soap, I use diffrent things when I buy. I use lotion. I also use baby oil. The itching eventually fades away after like an hour. What the hell is this?? Oh and after the itching goes away, I always have this rash under my bra line in between my breasts and it looks a bit weird. Help meeeeeeeeee!!!!

Honestly, I think your water might be too hot. I have the same thing. Showers and baths dry out your skin.....hot water will make you all itchy and irritated because of that dry skin. I know you think lotions and oils are lubricating your skin....but a lot of them cause dryness to increase because they contain alcohol. I went to the dermatologist for mine about six weeks ago. He prescribed somthing....but said that if this ever occurs when I don't have the medication-----use Petroleum Jelly to moisturize!!!
For the spot on your bra line.....sleep without one and put some petroleum jelly on when you go to bed. If you can....go a day without wearing a bra (or wearing one very little). Also, wear a bra with different lines....or without the wire. The heat and the pressure of the bra is probably just aggravating the dryness!!
Hope this helped. Skin irritations SUCK!!!

It could be a reaction to something in the soaps and washes you use. Try using just plain old ivory soap and see if this helps. Also do not scratch and do not use a lotion unless it is something safe like eucerin. Lots of soaps, lotions and other body products contain toxic chemicals that can cause nasty reactions. Use ivory soap and only a mild lotion only if needed. If you still itch when getting out of the shower then try taking an antihistamine such as Beandryl or claritin aka loratidine BEFORE you jump in the shower so it has time to work. Also be sure your shampoo is an all natural type and these products could be getting on your body and causing some of the problem.

I am not sure if it is the same but my fiance abd his dad have a skin think where they have to take luke warm to cold showers and use little to no soap. Shampoo is the best because it dose not leave a resado. Also pat dry dont rub. Take short showers and use a really good lotion when you get out. Put clean clothes on right away and that should help.

Go to Home Depot shower head section and get a shower head filter its about $10-$15 lasts about 6 months (screws on) it will filter the water coming through your pipe system also change the soap you use for one with out cleansing chemicals,

I think you are using too many lotions and soaps. Your skin is sensitive. Try using mild soap and hypoallergenic lotions. All that lovely smelling lotion and bath soaps are filled with stuff that will make some people allergic.

Maybe an allergy to whatever's in your bra. (haha, not boobs, fabric) I am extreamly sensitive to bras made with rubber (to hold them up), like strapless. Also, could be from too much sweat, as "the girls" tend to sweat alot more than I'm sure men would imagine.
