Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thanks for your query.
According to your description you could have the following:
-an allergic reaction to some thing you come in contact with (accessory) during your shower
-Scabies (itch mite) requiring a visit to a dermatologist (but does not dissappear)
-A rash which is a symptom of some other underlying infection (requires examination of the type of rash by a doctor)
Either way please visit a doctor at the earliest for proper examination, diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
Feel free to write back to us for any further clarifications.
Best wishes.

Hi, from your description it appears as if you have urticaria. it may be due to recent change of soap or body scrub or even a change of place. take anti allergic tablets to get symptomatic relief. contact a dermatologist for medication

hi,
welcome to healthcare magic,
from the description of your symptoms, it seems you are allergic to the soap that you are using,
the water that you use is it fresh water or borehole water, if borehole then it can cause you to have that type of itchy rash.
would suggest if you can be seen by the dermatologist for review and appropriate treatment.
takecare.
