if you are showering 3 times a day, you are destroying your body's own protective flora!!  Really should limit it to just once a day or even less.   No wonder your skin is so itchy!!

folliculitis is very common. it's just a bacterial skin infection of the hair follicles. not too uncommon to have it come back either.

do you use a body puff thingee in the shower or a washcloth?

most adults have ebv and cmv. they too are incredibly common.

you need to be seen and follow up on this. they can swab any active symptoms for bacterial cultures.

See your medical provider for a proper exam and testing to find out what's causing this.

no, you'd need a bacterial skin culture done where you have symptoms.
