Maybe it's something in the water......or in the shower, maybe it's the metal that the water runs through and than goes on your face.... ever thought about that? Maybe the showerhead has lead or something on it, and you're just allergic to that.
no. that's physically impossible.
Just sounds like sensitive skin to me.
It's impossible to be allergic to water because your body is composed of a high percentage of water. It must be something else. In the shower I would guess it's maybe the soap you are using.
thats impossible
i dont think its posible to be alergic to water, because you need water to survive, it might be the chemicals in the water or depending on the temperature of the water.
go to the doctor just in case..
good luck
No. If you were, you would be dead because most of your body is made up of water
go to the doctors
You could be. I would definitly talk to a doctor ASAP
i would say probbly to some chemical in the water,just to be sure talk to your doctor and he should know whats wrong
it could be from metals in the water or chemicals you're not allergic to the water itself.
u allergic to chemicals in water ..not pure water ..alert the epa
you'd have major problems bein as like 80% of your body is water
It is proboly a chemical in hte water or on another surface. Ask your dotor about these things. It depens what other things you are allergic too, if you are allergic to anything else. If you were allergic to water you would proboloy be allergic to air becasue half of water is air.
no way coz u survive by water in your body 70% of your body has water... yes maybe some thing in the water or the temperature of the water.. Try vice versa cold and hot....
Im no expert but i had the same problem,
it turned out it was a product i was using on my face,
maybe yours could be makeup that only becomes iritant when moist?
or a face wash ,
try changing your products completly for a week and see if the patern changes,
Good Look..x
It's probably something in the water because if you were allergic you'd be dead due to most of you being water. Go see a doctor.
Okay, I'm confused. You are showering in dirty water? You said it only hapens in unclean water. Rain can have anything in it. Your face red from a shower is either your soap or just the heat.
You aren't allergic to water. Your body is mostly water...
start boiling your water before you use it maybe the chlorine in the water irritates your skin make sure your face wash is organic with natural ingredient.
it is virtually impossible to be allergic to water since water is nutritionless. that can only happen if you're allergic to hydrogen and oxygen which i highly doubt. but it might be something in the water. you should buy pH paper and test the water yourse;f and see how acidic it is, theres probably something in it making all those stuff happen.
question- why would you shower or wash your face with unclean water though? just a thought that crossed my mind
I would say it is whatever you are cleaning your face and body with in the shower, and when it rains I would say a few people go a bit red in the face, its normal.
As long as you can drink water without anything happening then I doubt you are allergic to it. If you were then you would not be alive right now.
Yes, you may be sadly to say.
I am no doctor, but I haven't heard of this before...
This is a very rare allergy, called "Aquagenous urticaria".
There is no cure for this, but there something you can cover yourself with so water doesn't touch you, sort of like a cream, it's invisible so no one sees it.
Hope this helps
WELLL since itz impossible then...no i would think it is the kind of fabric you are wearing.....or maybe the stuff in your water or the rain water...
Water probably just gives you hives silly! It's impossible to be allergic to water because the only things in it is hydrogen and oxygen and you can't be allergic to those or you would have died a LOOONNNGGG time ago! ^.^
NOOOO!!!!!! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Your body is 90% water. DUH
You are most likely allergic to some microscopic allergins in the water. It would be specific to the region where you live. Their are special shower heads that can filter water for you. Also, consult a medical professional about the problem. Though possible, it is EXTREMELY rare for someone to be allergic to water. Like, extremely rare. I believe there have been less then 50 patients ever diagnosed with "water allergies" in the entire world. Make sure to just have a check up and the doctors.
Well, it isn't impossible but it's rare. Propably talking to your doctor.
I have the same problem! ok there is what caused my problem:
I was alergic to the soap I was using!
My parents are devorced and I was used to the soap my mom used and my dad bought a different kind! When he bought the same ind of soap as my mom had at her house it seemed to fix the problem.
Someways that have worked for people that have commen symptoms were:
-Taking cooloer showers
-using sensitive skin washing powder
-Vitamin E oil all over the affected areas to moisturize to help with the dryness and itching
-Buy a shower head that purifies the water!
Here are some other reasons you could be itchy:
Dry Skin: sometimes water dries out your skin
or
There is a rare disease called Aquagenous urticaria literaly meaning alergy to water, but this is so rare that only 30 people in all the world have been diagnosed with it! But it is possible. You can read about it here:

You'd be dead by now if you were allergic to water. Anyway, it's probably something in the water. Do you get it from a well, or is it city water? Well water can contain massive amounts of iron, and maybe that's what you're having a reaction to.
Well, I dought you are allergic to water becuase us as humans are made up with around 70% water.
Perhaps when your drying your face after a shower and such, you are rubbing, which causes the skin to be irritated (try patting your face with the towel.)
Since the human body heat is fairly high (about 98o as the average) when the cold rain falls on the skin, the skin is all of a sudden exposed to this dramatically cold feeling, which I guess could cause red skin. My face gets red to in the rain.
Or maybe you are allergic to a metal in your water, have you ever heard your parents saying your water is hard? But that does include the rain.
=) if you were allergic to water, you most likely wouldnt be alive, the earth is near 70% water and we are made up of 70% water. =)
yes
