I thought I was going crazy! I sometimes get the itches so bad, which usually happens after I get out of the shower. The arms, legs and shoulders are the worst. My skin feels hot when it flairs up. I went to a doctor about 10 years ago explaining what was happening to me. He told me I was allergic to water! I couldn't believe it, I thought "how could that be"? I have lived with this for many years and I have not pursued an answer because of the crazy diagnosis this doctor gave me. I just suffer with it on a daily basis. Thank you for making me feel that I'm not alone with this. I love this site and all the support it provides.
