Brief Answer:
try antiallergens

Detailed Answer:

Hi again

Considering the extent of itching and considering the fact that the itching occurs on drying yourself, not on bathing, I would suggest that maybe you need to change the towel instead of the soap.

The possibility is that you are getting allergic to the material of the towel instead of the soap.

You may also try to take some anti allergens like cetrizine.
best of luck
