A member asked:

Allergic/highly sensitive to chlorine. pt appt yesterday; since then im red/itchy. rxn to chlorine in the disinfectant spray they use on the tables?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: Is this a reaction you have had in the past on exposure to chlorine? If not, then it could be a reaction to something else. Take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin for symptom relief.
