Pool Water Causing Itchy Skin

Virtual Care for Skin Irritation

Whether you're cooling off in the neighborhood pool, enjoying a resort vacation, or swimming laps for exercise, spending hours in chlorinated water can sometimes leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, or irritated. For some people, chlorine, frequent water exposure, or existing skin conditions may make symptoms more noticeable during the summer months.

While mild irritation often improves with moisturizing and limiting additional irritation, persistent itching, redness, or discomfort may benefit from a medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.

Common symptoms may include:

• Dry or flaky skin
• Itching after swimming
• Mild redness
• Tight or irritated skin
• Small areas of skin irritation
• Skin discomfort after pool use

VirtualCare2Go makes it easy to connect with a licensed Texas provider from your home, hotel, or vacation rental. During your virtual visit, your provider can discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, recommend supportive skin care, and determine whether additional treatment or an in-person evaluation may be appropriate.
