Taking hot showers will do it. Also when you shampoo your hair and rinse it, the rinse water goes down your back and that could cause issues for some people.


@SilleeMee  @DbinMd2  I had an issue with my condtioner not fully rinsed off my back since it's usually the last step in the shower. i have a hand held shower head and make sure I take it down and do a full rinse on my body to get soaps and conditioenr off myself before stepping out. I also lotion up while my skin is still damp.

My mom has an area of her back that often itches and has for years. Nothing has helped. She’s been to a few dermatologists and was told she has what‘s called neuropathic itching. I believe it’s uncommon, though.

@DbinMd2 my back, particularly one spot, always starts itching in the winter.  I know it's from less humidity in the air.  This spray is a godsend!  After drying off in the shower, step back in and spray your back best you can.  It's actually not hard to do.  You will get immediate relief that lasts!

For putting lotion on my back I use one of these...'back buddy'. This one is vinyl so it's easy to wipe clean (can be laundered also) plus the hand straps are non-stretchy so you can get a good grip. Found mine on eBay fro about $10.
