White dry blotches on face. she is a swimmer and trains 5 times a week. could this be the chlorine from the swimming pool?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: depends what these patches look like...chlorine can be drying and irritative...prob would suggest moisturizing before and after pool exposure.
