Reddish Itchy Blotches On The Body After Taking Bath Or Swim. Allergy?

For awhile now, after I take a shower or get out of any sort of water (swimming pool) or sweat too much, I often get these red itchy blotches all over my chest , back, arms and neck . I ve switched soaps and have tried taking cooler showers but regardless of what I do, the blotches always come back. They usually take awhile to go away too.
