What Causes Itching Sensation Under The Skin Post Showers?
I have a lot of itching like right under my skin after showers. The reason I say it s right under my skin, is because when I scratch my legs it does not help. It s like you can t reach it. Someone told me it was just dry skin, because I am 58 yrs old. Any suggestions?
