Aquagenic pruritus

Aquagenic pruritus is when water makes your skin really itchy. It's like when you have a mosquito bite and it makes you scratch, but all over your body and it happens when you get wet. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable! It is not because the water is dirty or because you have a rash or anything like that. It is just your body reacting to the water. Some people might get it after they exercise or sweat too. There are things you can do to help with the itchiness, like using special creams or taking certain medicines. But it's important to talk to a grown-up or a doctor if you have this problem so they can help you feel better.
