Bathing

[Flamer]

whenever i get in the bath i come out in a very itchy rash all over my front and back, i thought it might be the body wash i use so i just layed in the bath one day and it came up without me using nay soap, it cant be a heat rash because ive tried it in a cold bath aswell... any thoughts?

Are you in a hard water area? A mate of mine suffers like this so he got a water softener in.

my son gets this, he has a very faint rash all the time, and I can nearly always feel it, however if he is suddenly in a temperature change, it comes out like billy-O. He has Urticaria and it is an allergy related complaint, but not to do with the water, the water just shows it up I suppose. If you search for Urticaria you will find loads and probably some pics also to see if it is the same.

It's nothing to worry about Flamer. I've had it for most of my life, but find showering and using cooler water helps a lot plus using a creme wash which contains aloe vera. It's annoying but soon disappears, doesn't it?

Does either of your parents have a history of very sensitive skin as it's usually inherited? My dad was exactly the same so that's where mine came from.
