Itching in my arms

2017-09-09 22:50:18
Hi there, recently I noticed that my arms and hands and also a part of my chest start itching after either having a shower or swimming in the beach. It goes after a while if I don't touch it. The thing is this is the first time that it happens to me even though I swim in the beach each summer.
