Itchy rash on my stomach and chest

It may not be a rash, but my torso itches a lot, especially when I have just hopped out of the shower. Should I worry?

Answer #1

Worry? No. Make sure you’re rinsing off ALL of the soap. ALL of it- even bodywash should be rinsed off completely as it can dry and irritate your skin. After your shower make sure you dry off and put a moisturizing, unscented lotion on- BODY lotion, like vaseline, St. Ives, or Aveeno, not some froo-froo botique apple-angle-kisses stuff. :) Did you just switch to a new laundry detergent? You may be slightly allergic or sensitive to it- our skin is most open to absorbing chemicals/whatever right after a shower, when the warm water has opened up all of our pores.

Answer #2

itchy & rash on back of my leg, butt when sitting on coworkers chair

When I go to my certain co-workers (Eastern Indians or Main lander Chinese) offices to sit (on their chair) & chat w/ them, or borrow some else’s chair in the office (same kind of people) and sit on it, within minutes I get this really really itchy feelings- rash-y feelings on my butt, back of my legs (areas where touched the chair) while sitting… And when I get up walking, I still feel itchy… Somehow spraying Windex on my pants (outside) & little moist to my legs & infected areas seems to stop it for a while…The only way to stop it is to laundry my pants, underwear & wash-scrub my infected body areas… Anyone had this problem? Any permanent solution?
