Itchy skin after bathing may be due to dry weather, excessive cleansing or cholinergic urticaria.
1. Dry climate: especially in winter, pay attention to the whole body after bathing to apply moisturizer extensively.
2. Excessive cleansing: If the bathing time is too long, the water temperature is relatively high, and excessive scrubbing, it will easily lead to damage of the skin’s barrier function, which will result in skin dryness, and then induce itchy skin and other discomforts.
3. Cholinergic urticaria: The itchy skin after bathing may also be due to a sudden rise in local temperature of the skin, prompting the body’s cholinergic nerve impulses, thus releasing acetylcholine and acting on mast cells, causing cholinergic urticaria. There may be limited edema of the skin and mucous membranes, accompanied by itching and burning sensation.
Care should be taken to adjust the temperature of the water when bathing, and care should be taken not to bathe for too long, and to apply moisturizer after bathing. If the discomfort caused by the symptoms are more serious, should also be timely to the hospital for diagnosis, and under the guidance of professional doctors in conjunction with the personal situation of the intervention treatment.
