Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye irritation on taking bath.
This is because of hyperemia of conjunctiva and is normal hence no need to worry.
You can use decongestant eye drops for symptomatic relief.
I also advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination to rule out chronic conjunctivitis.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
