Skin rash from chlorine and sunscreen

Asked by qtpi3 11 months ago, 2 answers.

Ok, I love swimming and we have a chlorine pool. Problem is I have very sensitive skin. So I have this rash on my face (near my mouth) that I get from the chlorine and also from my sunscreen that I apply. Think I could probably solve the suncreen issue,...

but do you guys have any advice on what could maybe work for the rash I get from chlorine.

More info:
I don't use normal soap on my skin and I can't use any products that are too oily. It burns the hell out of me. (hve very dry skin and very fair)

The best treatment or remedy is to stay away from chlorinated water for a while to let the skin recover from the chlorine exposure. Certain lotions can be applied to the skin prior to swimming to block the effects of chlorine on the skin. This is a useful procedure for those who need to be in swimming pools such as competitive swimmers.

So, you could go to a pharmacy and find out what types of lotions will benefit you.

mix water with baking soda and apply it to your face. the baking powder will neutrilize (?) the reaction.
