My son gets this type of rash. Sometimes very severely. I just saw a product called DermaSwin Pro taht I am going to try. The description says it prevents this type of rash. I hope it does.
Many people are switching to saltwater instead of chlorine because it is less harsh.
To treat a bromine pool rash, make sure to clean the affected area with mild soap and water. Use a soothing cream or lotion to help alleviate itching and redness. If the rash persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further treatment options.
No, as long as he/she is not swallowing it or developing a rash, then he/she should be fine.
Yes, it's possible. Some people are allergic to chlorine in pools. It may be the type of sun tan lotion you are using and when you are in the pool the sun tan lotion could conflict with the chlorine. You'll just have to try swimming without sun tan lotion to test whether this is causing the rash or not. In order to get rid of this rash (if it bothers you) soak in a tub with 1 1/2 cups of Epsom Salts (bought at any drug store and if you don't see it ask your pharmacist for it.) Take the 1 1/2 cups of Epsom Salts Crystal and add boiling water to dissolve the crystals then pour into a tub full of TEPID WATER! Sit in it for 20 minutes or half an hour. It will generally get rid of itcheness, sun burn and a miriad of other problems.

No, only zinc oxide.
Chlorine in a pool may help to reduce the presence of bacteria on the skin but will not effectively kill the urushiol oil that causes poison oak rashes. While swimming in a chlorinated pool might provide temporary relief by soothing irritation, it won't cure the rash. It's important to wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible after exposure to poison oak for the best results. Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment if a rash develops.
allergic to chlorine or maybe water(slit allergen) or possibly just dirty water
No, saltwater and chlorine do not help with poison ivy. In fact, saltwater and chlorine may irritate the skin further and make the itching and rash worse. It is best to wash the affected area with water and soap, and apply calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to help soothe the symptoms.
it depends how much chlorine it has. it can usually cause bigger problems, but if you mean a garden pool ( water from tap/ hose), then yes, it is safe and wont do the baby any harm.
Chlorine itself is a skin irritant, so you would expect it to worsen a rash of any type.
To effectively treat and prevent heat rash on your legs, keep the affected area cool and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating. Use calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to soothe the rash, and take cool showers to reduce irritation. If the rash persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further treatment options.
