Does anyone's skin get so itchy you would like to rip your skin off? Especially after bath or shower?

Avoid hot showers and baths.

I had terribly itchy skin that was so dry and I got bad acne too. They did a blood allergy panel after about 6 months of it and found I was allergic to peanuts, but they just couldn't tell because I don't react normally because of all the immunosuppressants I am on. No more itching, dryness, or acne after 2 weeks of not eating peanuts.

I was that way from 13 yrs. old until 17yrs. old. Broken out with lesions, bleeding and itching. I still get itchy and only use Dove soap and wash my clothes in Sensitive detergent.
