whole body is itching almost

[Serinity]

:salam:

my body always itches after bath. It is like an allergic reaction where if I do not respond to the itching, it gets very uncomfortable.

I read around that prolonged baths (I am guilty of this) and warm water can cause this.


Any remedies?

[Zeal]

1. Take showers and only spend minimal tine inside

2. Rub olive oil all over your skin after you finish showering

3. Drink decent amount of water

Have you tried seeing a doctor you've complained about this because of wadu too

Wa alaykum assalam,

It sounds like you might suffer from dry skin or a condition related to that.

After a shower try moisturising your skin well with something, as brother Zeal said olive oil is excellent for moisturising, as well as almond oil. Aloe vera gel is very soothing on the most stubborn itchy areas

And if that doesn't work you could always consult with a doctor in'sha'Allah. Dry skin can be a nightmare but it isn't too hard to treat.

Idk, but I might be sensitive to water (skin-sensitive). it does go away, but if under water for too long it goes back to hwo it was. HOWEVER, my skin has greatly improved.

Since I now have a timer where I max use 2-3 minutes on wudhu.

Bathe with cool or room temp water, and don't use products that leech your skin of its natural oils.

I suffer the same.

Also, don't bathe every day, it's not necessary. And it wastes water. And water IS CORROSIVE - in case you didn't know, so be easy with it, not selfish with it.

Also, hot water is BAAAD for your skin.

JazakAllah khayr, I will from now on bathe will cold water only.

Btw, how do I know the shampoo I use is leeching my skin? I will never use hot water again. my OCD is also a problem, especially in ghusl. But I have decreased my ghusl from 1 hour to 20-22 min, my goal is to decrease it to 10 min max.

Any tips?

[Scimitar]

20 mins is too long bro. You are wasting water and time.

I shower for 3 minutes and i'm OUT. Shampoo? It's over rated. Use a mild shampoo like Johnsons and Johnsons baby shampoo - and use a tiny amout - otherwise that too will leech your hair of all its natural oils (which protect it).

Cold water is good and refreshing, and it wakes the body up!!! As well as relax it!!!

Hot water is not in the sunnah ;)

[Umm Abed]

Cold water is too cold, can use warm just.

I was also going to suggest baby shampoo.

And yes a bath should take about 5 minutes for a boy and a bit longer for a girl (depending on hair length etc, which needs extra care).

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

We learn from the Ahaadeeth that Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to use one Mudd of water for Wudhoo and one Saa` for Ghusl. A Mudd and Saa` were measurements used in those days.

One Mudd = +- 544ml.

One Saa` = 4 Mudd = +- 2.2lt.

That's 2.2lt of water for Ghusl. 2.2lt of water for a bath. These days, people spend 30 minutes in the shower. Some even spend up to 60 minutes in the shower, wasting water like Shayaateen. The average shower uses 8lt of water per minute. 8 x 30min = 240lt just for one person to shower. Compare that to the Sunnah of 2.2lt. How many people can bath using that 240lt of water, if they bath according to the Sunnah? Round about 109 people. Like a whole army.

The Sunnah is to bath using a bucket. Saves a lot of water.

So, try that. You don't have to bath every single day, with your condition. And when you do bath, use just the Sunnah amount of water, which is approx. 2.2lt of water.

May Allaah Ta`aalaa grant you Shifaa, Aameen.

Also, another important point: it is mentioned in the Ahaadeeth that Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم would make haste when performing Ghusl. He wouldn't waste time. He would perform it fast.

SubhanAllah.

I have this thought "What if I miss some parts?" but that is waswass, right?

2.2lt SubhanAllah. Btw, I didn't know one should do haste in Ghusl.

And Allah :swt: knows best.

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

Yes, it is Waswaas and should be ignored.
