I've been swimming regularly for about 17 years.
About ten years ago I suddenly was allergic to all kinds of Eau de Toilettes/Aftershaves and Deodorants. It happened over night.
Then about 5 years ago I started to need a nose clip or else I would have a runny nose for the next few days.
Recently after each workout my armpits are red and burn:badday:
I don't know if it's a reaction or result from the chlorine. Anyone else know these problems?

I'm intending to do that now. I want to find out what I'm exactly allergic to.
That's what the Pharmacist recommended yesterday. I'll try that out today and see how it goes.
I was told to use Body Glide, as Vaseline apparently damages your suit straps over time (though I guess it doesn't matter if you're a dude).
Not as slimy, either.
