If you do not itch after taking your bath, you don't know what God has done for you
This condition where a person itches after bathing is known as aquagenic pruritus.

There is usually no skin changes during the itch, just the itching that can range from mild to intense.

Usually, water of any temperature can elicit the itching

The exact cause is not known yet
Sometimes, it may be caused by a condition known as Polycythemia vera

Which is a condition where your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells.

It can be caused by other conditions also. There have been cases where it is inherited or shows in families
The legs are usually affected the most, followed by the arms, chest, back, and abdomen.

Very very very rarely, it affects the face. I haven't seen those myself.

I won't bother you with the intricacies, if this is becoming too distressful, see your doctor.
At home, you can try some remedies at home to help

1. You can add a little baking soda to your bath water

2. Use baby oil on your skin before and/or after showering
