Hello
Itching after bath or bathing with hot water or sudden change of temperature could be due to a cholinergic response..it also means that your . body is hypersensitive. Please get a serum IG E checked from a pathologist lab and if it's high you need to start montelukast medicine for 3months.Kindly consult a dermatologist. If the levels are high you could also do an allergy test by RAST method.
Hope this helps
Best
