probably eczema. my daughter has it and it really breaks out when you use frangrances, like bubble baths and certain soaps. but go to the dr.s to make sure. start using dove soap, dont use bubble bath and use cetaphil lotion. your dr. can give you a steriod lotion that you can use when it gets red and bumpy.
Reply:it might be an allergy condition, either to the soap gels or shapoos


that you use. consult an allergologist
Reply:You may be allergic to the soap you are using. You may have sensitive skin. The redness may be due to scratching or you are scrubbing too hard on your skin when you are taking a bath. If you are using loofas or salt/sugar scrubs that may explain the reddening, stop using it. Try using a hypoallergenic soap or baby soaps. There are also available non soap body wash like cetaphil. I also have sensitive skin and it itches a lot when I use soaps like dove pink or caress , so I use a baby milk bath and works fine.

Reply:Maybe your skin just dries out? Sometimes I get just like that too, especially after a hot bath. I get red spots around my neck and my chest and it feels itchy and dry. Occasionally I might get a cold sweat as well. It happens if use the soap excessively. Try to get a natural soap without many chemicals and use a sponge with a limited amount of soap instead of trying to cleanse using a lot of soap with your bare hands. Also at the end rinse with cool water before getting off. I've done these thnigs and it has helped me alot.
