Itchy skin is an irritating sensation caused by many factors including the type of soaps used. Some people experience an itchy skin once they are through with showering or bathing.
People think that it's a normal condition but that is not the case. It's a health problem that needs attention.
Generally, itchy skin can be problematic and a nuisance at some point. In most cases, the sensation lasts for a short period of time.
However, sometimes the sensation can last longer causing slight damages to the skin (micro-cuts) as a result of scratching the skin.
