Hoping someone can provide some feedback. I recently developed an allergic reaction around my eyes after going for a swim (area is itchy, there is redness and puffiness(. I'm not sure if has to do with the water or the goggles (using silicone based goggles). Am looking for any insight on this and/or anyone who has experienced the same thing. Also if you know of any good dermatologists in San Francisco, let me know. Thanks! Z

    My goggles aren't that new but yes, just out of nowhere. I've been swimming in the same pool for some time and have used the same goggles in the past. Not sure what is going on :( If your goggles haven't changed, and if it's the same pool where you always swim, then it sounds like the pool water has changed. You may want to talk to the pool manager to see whether they've changed something in their chemical management system.
