What happened to my skin?


Question Posted Thursday July 31 2008, 12:36 am

Okay, so yesterday I went swimming at my boyfriends. We were in the pool for a while, and after so long my eyes started to burn really badly. We went to my house to watch a movie, and I just put soothing eye drops in, which really worked. That night, my arms, shoulders/back, neck, and scalp really started to itch. Like I barely slept they itched so bad. I guess his pool is starting to turn green, so they put this algae thing in it, but not too much chlorine. The next morning (this morning) I took a bath and felt a little better. Later, I took another one, then a super hot shower, which made me feel really good. After the shower for about two hours it wasn't nearly as bad, but it's starting to itch really bad again. Could I have had an allergic reaction to something? I guess they didn't put much chlorine in tho?

My skin isn't bumpy, but I've been scratching my skin so much, i start to get little red circles/spots on my skin, again not above my skin tho. It itches sooo bad and it's constant. What could have happened, and how do I make it go away?? I tried lotion, but I'm afraid it will make it worse or something.

Help!!! It itches so bad and I don't know what to do, it's driving me crazy! I'm afraid to go out tomorrow because it's embarrassing lol.

Thanks so much for any help lol

OK so when people go swimming and the pool is something of cantaminated you have some side affects without the chlorine. So what I say is go to the doctor and ask what is wrong with you. It might be something little or serious. It depends on how serious it is by the side affects. The dermetologist or someone else will know what to do so hurry and go to the doctor.

I would go to a clinic, and if you can't pay go to a walk in one.

Unfortenatly I'm pretty sure no one on here could help you even if you are having a bad reaction to it.

A doctor will be able to tell you whether you need to soak in a bath/shower or if you need something special.

It SOUNDS like your having a reaction and if it's been going on for a couple of days I'm sure it is...

That's the only thing I can think of though is see a doctor to help with it.

Because also, if for any reason there were chemicals in his pool that can harm you like how it's irritating your skin, you may also need medication not just a cream or whatever.

So, the only person that would know best I think, personally, would be a doctor. Good luck!
