Itchy skin and Dark Back
I am 21 years old. Whenever I come out after taking a shower my whole body feels itchy and my skin turns red for few hours. At first I thought it was some reaction to the soap i use, so i tried changing my soap, towels,etc. But then too i still feel itchy right after coming out of shower and its been over an year now. Also, recently from like 2 months my back has turned black. Earlier it started developing patches but now its turning black completely. I am really worried about these issues. please tell me what i am possibly suffering with and is it treatable. Should i be really worried?.
