HOW TO STOP THAT ITCHING AFTER HAVING YOUR BATH!!!!!!!!!

 Are you one of those people who itch immediately after taking your bath? Does this itch persist even after you are sure the water you bathed was treated with antiseptics and is clean? 


Are you one of those who itch even after the sponge and the towel and every other bathing accessory is clean? Are you one of those who now detest bathing because of how much you would itch after the process? Well, I have good news for you. You may be suffering from AQUAGENIC PRURITUS and thankfully, there is a cure.

Aquagenic pruritus is a skin disease characterized by the development of severe itching on contact with water without observable skin lesions. The symptoms may be felt immediately after contact with water and can persist for an hour or longer. In some families, a tendency toward aquagenic pruritus appears to be hereditary. It may sometimes be a symptom of primary polycythemia or polycythemia vera. It has also been linked to several conditions such as juvenile xanthogranuloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, hepatitis C infection, drugs like bupropion and idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. It can exert a psychological effect to the extent of abandoning bathing or developing phobia to bathing.

It is however known that people who suffer from this get temporary relief when they bathe with warm water instead of cold water. To fight this condition, medics prescribe a drug called Loratadine. Loratadine is a second-generation peripheral histamine H1-receptor blocker used to treat allergies.

It was discovered in 1981 and came to market in 1993. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system. It is available as a generic drug and is marketed for its nonsedating properties. Please ensure you are properly guided by a certified medical personnel before using this drug.
That fear of bathing can surely be defeated. I hope this helps someone out there. Thank you and God bless.
