One of the companies that installs water filters does a free home demonstration, and part of that they test your water for free. If I find their contact details I'll post later. It might be worth just filtering all your water.

Hello ladies, quick update! I went t bring my sample of water and thought it was all OK as i spoke to a gentleman last week who told me he will test the water for any bad bacterias for aed150 and it takes 10 days. I thought it was a easy task and straight forward, bottom line i dont think they have ever tested water....the secretary made 4 inter office calls to see what to do and then of course they started to rack the bill up just to test my villa water to make sure if it has bad bacterias or not! I walked out as they seemed incompetant and i dont like when you get to a office that they start adding money and making up different amounts as they total. So i dont recommend them and i am looking for a competant lab to just test my water to see if it is safe. Any recommendations would be welcome.

Members of my family have also experienced this, although not for some time now. We never got to the bottom of it. It was really bad straight after showering. I use nonbiological or baby safe washing machine products, to ensure that it was not caused by towels or clothes and only use shower products for sensitive skin. It never occurred to me to check the water. Perhaps DEWA could test it?
