I believe it does increase. But it depends on how hot the shower is and also the time. It should be back to normal in a couple of minutes after you are done :)

∙ 12y agoBody temperature may temporarily increase after a hot shower due to the heat exposure, but it should return to normal as the body cools down. After a cold shower, body temperature may decrease as the body responds to the cold stimulus, but again it should return to normal once the body warms up.
The thermostat of the body is the hypothalamus, a region in the brain that helps regulate and maintain the body's temperature around a set point. It receives signals from temperature receptors in the body and can initiate responses to either increase or decrease body temperature as needed.
The temperature in the center of the brain is typically around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the same as the average body temperature. The brain regulates its temperature to maintain optimal functioning and any significant increase or decrease in temperature can affect its performance.
The average human body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F), so the temperature of human blood is also around this range. Blood circulation helps regulate body temperature and keep it stable within this range. Any significant increase or decrease in body temperature can have adverse effects on health.
Body temperature increases during a fever as a result of a change in the set point of the body's internal thermostat, the hypothalamus. This change is often due to the presence of pyrogens, which are substances released by the immune system in response to infection. The elevated body temperature is believed to help the immune system combat invading pathogens more effectively.
When you drink ice water, your body needs to work to raise the temperature of the water to match your internal body temperature, which can briefly increase skin temperature. This process is known as thermogenesis, where the body burns calories to produce heat. Additionally, blood flow to the skin may increase to regulate body temperature, contributing to the sensation of increased skin temperature.
Some medication may affect body temperature. It can increase or decrease body temperature. I.e. tylenol may decrease temperature if you have fever. Some stimulant may increase temperature when used, etc.
The temperature of a patient with acute pain may increase due to the body's stress response and inflammation that can accompany pain. However, if the pain is severe and prolonged, it can also lead to a decrease in body temperature as the body may enter a state of shock or stress-induced hypothermia.
With emotional states, the body would either increase metabolism for energy or decrease metabolism.
You must have taken a hot shower.
Increases in body temperature cause a corresponding increase in respiratory rate and heart rate because there is an increase in metabolic needs of the body. As regards blood Pressure, I believe the blood pressure goes down as a result of an Increase in body temperature. The body generates a lot of heat that decreases body hydration level and a result the body becomes dehydrated and the BP decreases. Increase with fever, necessitating more oxygen. The client who has a decrease in body temperature will experience a decrease in respiratory rate, Heart rate and Blood pressure.

Alcohol causes core body temperature to decrease. However, flushing caused by alcohol may make someone think they are getting warmer rather than colder.
Exercise, hot ambient temperatures, and fever due to disease can all increase body temperature
yes,body temperature decreases as we approach death
When taking a cold shower in winter!
Yes. The body can increase blood flow to the dermis where heat will be lost or it will decrease flow to conserve heat.
