My wife is suffering pretty badly with severe itchiness and what turns into a rash from swimming at our local pool. (She does have pretty sensitive skin but this isnt normal)
Has anyone dealt with this and with what means? She doesnt want to give up swimming but its getting out of hand. SHe has tried some medications but they make her too drowsy...
Thanks.

Its getting to be winter and the air is dryer in some parts of the country. Dryer air plus swimming (chlorine) plus hot water showers can caush rashes.
I would suggest showering after a swim but dont let the water get too hot. Dry then use a lotion. I would also use the lotion after a shower at home and try to avoid lots of hot water and see if the rash goes away. The rash may be aggrevated by hot water..its pretty common.
