Rash-like Symptoms after Taking a Shower?

I'm 18, male, and for the past week I've started to get red, itchy patches around my upper body, especially my belly/sides, appearing 5-10 minutes after taking a shower. I just moved to a new house, so I'm unsure if that's a coincidence or is the cause of this new problem. The patches disappear only 20-30 minutes after first appearing. What could be the cause?

I don't think my clothes are the issue, since I walked around with my shirt off one morning and it still showed up. Thanks for the help, by the way.

I've showered without any products to see if the symptoms would show up again, and lo and behold they did. I've used a water softener for my old house as well as my current house. Not sure what you mean by "Washing Power," if you could rephrase that would be great.
