What Causes Itching After Taking Warm Shower?
Hey, I got out of a shower and my most of my body got itchy. I have no rashes or anything- I do think I have dry skin and it was a warm shower (after putting lotion on my arms and legs, I m rarely getting itches there), but I still get itches in my ear, face, and hair. What do you reckon it could be?
