Itching after bathing
Hello, I'm facing itching problem after bathing throughout the year. Warm water affects more but cold and normal too, it's been almost 7-8 years. I took homeopathy + allopathy treatment both but not getting permanent relief. Itching lasts upto 10-20mins after my bathing (full body but mainly in legs). Now, my dermat recommended me Desloratadine 5mg tablet thrice a day. It's been 1 month now but still not getting permanent relief , yes itching is a but less but not fully.
Is this issue fully curable? As, I'm literally irritated with this issue now as going out somewhere and then take shower there feels quite disgusting.
Is it Aquagenic Pruritus? Water allergy?
