I get itchy skin after having a shower in the morning
I'm 18 years old and male. I live in Australia and ever since i can remember, i get really itchy skin after i come out of the shower in the mornings. I have tried different soaps, water temperatures etc. I have found that it is starting to sometimes happen at night when i have showers too.
Usually i find that if i go for a run and "sweat it out" and then have a shower, i won't get itchy skin.
What on earth is this, am i allergic to water lol? The itchiness is usually in my arms and my legs, sometimes on my chest as well. Its terrible, my skin feels kind of cold when it kicks in too.
Its not a rash and usually lasts for about 30 mins after the shower, its really annoying and painful, its impossible to ignore it.
The only real remedies i have found is heat, like heat lamps whilst getting dry or heaters etc.
Is anyone else the same or am i anti shower?
Is this NORMAL? Comments.

When i live in california, the water was fine and i never had a problem with dry skin. But after i moved to Nevada for a while, i noticed a difference in taste in the tap water, and after a shower i always had an itchy face. sometimes it began to peel.
If you use lotion afterward you should be fine. and this is completely normal by the way :)
take care
