Eczema Treatment Care

When you swim does your skin break out. Is it from the harsh chemicals in the pool, dirtiness, bacteria??? I always get bad eczema around my waist like red welts a few days after I swim at the gym. I can’t swim that often because of it.

Mine does…I get a red rash for about a day or two… I think a lot of it has to do with the high amounts of chems. in the pool.
