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 have a very mild allergy to many deodorants. I used one for about 3 years and then started using it twice a day because I started going to the gym. Within about a month of using it twice a day my armpits started to become itchy.
I started using a mineral salt deodorant almost 5 years ago that works by killing the bacteria that create body odor. You have to make sure you apply it liberally but it works pretty well. If you smash up the crystal and put it a small amount in a spray bottle it works best and a $5 stick will last a couple years.
