Anyone has tips to minimize skin problems after swimming in a chlorinated pool? I feel like I've approached a point where continuing swimming there is detrimental to both health and results, and while I'm waiting for the better pool to open, wonder if folks have success battling this.
I had pretty bad neurodermatitis as a kid, but grew out of it for the most part, and was able to swim 3-5hrs a week in local pools without particular issues for a few years. It's always worse this time a year, and it's likely my pool is doing something different as far as its chemical content, but it's pretty bad: losing sleep, skin looks terrible. I know it's the pool because skin gets much better after 2 days of not going there... Saltwater pools are much better, it's just hard logistically.
