Brief Answer:
The itching can be from dry skin, additives in soap or friction

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX solomon7,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. It is probable that washing your penis with sandalwood soap caused the skin to become dry and after bath the dryness persisted. This can cause mild itching after bath.

2. Less likely the soap can contain additives which lead to mild itching over the penis.

3. Cleaning your penis with fast strokes can also cause skin irritation due to friction and lead to itching.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
