My skin stings when I put on moisturizer (arms, shins, stomach, knees) and I am wondering if the chlorine has something to do with it.
There is some itchiness afterwards which I am just about able to control.

After moisturizing try wearing a t-shirt or something to help hold the moisture in.  After a couple of applications the issue should subside.  If not, refer to a dermatologist because I am not one and I certainly didn&amp;#39;t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night (I know the commercial is getting old now but...).&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Stinging skin advise</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/203014?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Oct 2017 10:38:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b52854eb-25f3-4f6c-94b6-a604eacffc48</guid><dc:creator>Elaine Krugman</dc:creator><description>Try a fragrance free lotion for sensitive skin.

I find that certain brands of lotions are worse than others when it comes to stinging and burning.  I prefer Jergen&amp;#39;s line of moisturizers because I don&amp;#39;t get the after-burn and it doesn&amp;#39;t feel heavy after slathering it all over myself.  

I will ONLY use Neutragena face lotion on my face, as my face is extra sensitive.

I also will only use Ivory soap, after having enough bad reactions growing up with deodorant soaps.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
