Itchy white bumps when I take showers?
For the past few years I've noticed that I often get these itchy bumps on my body (usually on/above my breasts and on my neck) when I get out of the shower. They fade within about 30 minutes of taking a shower. They look exactly like mosquito bites, and, so, for a while, I thought I was somehow being bitten while in the shower. However, when I moved to a new house, the condition continued and also reoccurred when I recently took a shower at my boyfriend's apartment.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Could be a skin irritation to the soap, try using something very mild like Ivory (plain old 99.997% pure) & see if it still occurs.
Or the bumps could be related to water temp, extremely hot water or cold water could be playing with your pores (those white bumps gave me that clue). Do you use a sponge, washcloth, pumice? Maybe that's what is causing the skin irritation.
I'm not a doctor, but would be happy to examine the bumps (jk!!!)
If all else fails, see your doctor, & get a referral to see a dermatologist. Good luck!
