I can't really seem to figure it out. I'm not sure whether or not it's dry skin or I take too long of hot showers but lately I have redness all over my skin and I have been itching all over my body. Any ideas?

Itchy Red Rashes

I really wish I knew what these darn rashes were! I keep itching and scratching every day!
You might be washing all the moisture out of your skin.
Try not showering for a couple of days and see what happens.
Don't use very hot water.
Moisturizing cream might only make it worse.
Don't use soap.
Use a medicated shampoo instead. (for the whole body).
Like T-Gel, Selsun Blue, Dermarest, etc.
Try the above. If it doesn't work, you'll have to see a dermy.
Sometimes it could be stress or nerves, but it would be in patches and not all over.
(it sounds like the showering routine).
Usually I shower every other day or couple of days but maybe I might be showering too long. I don't really like the idea of a cold shower though.
Cold is as bad as too hot.
Warm.
Every other day is good. In the summer it's every day.
Try the shampoo before going to a doctor.
I suggested some.
Soap is VERY rough on the skin.
Thanks for the advice but I don't own any of that kind of shampoo. I do take warm showers but maybe it's a little too warm.
Reading up as to whether you may have leprosy, I don't think it's that.
Thank goodness!
Thanks Eugene, you never fail to put a smile on my face.
Yeah. He's good at that.Thank goodness!
I kind of doubt it's leprosy too!
It's not a full-body shampoo.
It's regular medicated shampoo for the hair.
Just use it on your shower sponge INSTEAD of soap.
You can buy medicated shampoo anywhere, Walmart, Amazon, etc.
Probably any supermarket.
I listed T-Gel, Selsun Blue, MG-217 and others.
Take your pick.
Try it. It definitely can't hurt.
Huh? What's that?
I just use a detergent container, no tablets are involved.
OK thanks, I will.

hi. maybe switch your body wash, too? it could be something simple, like the fragrance used in your body wash.
Maybe, thanks for all of your inputs guys, I like all of your ideas and I will try and investigate them all.
