Chlorine: First of all you need to have a physician make sure that it was a reaction to chlorine and not something else.Pool treatments involve many chemicals not just chlorine.Many of these chemicals can cause mild burns on the skin, especially in compromised patients such as diabetics.

Irritnant reaction: Your reaction appears more like an irritant dermatitis rather than an allergic reaction. The difference is that you probably do not carry an antibody charecteristic of an allergic reaction.
