Everyone reacts differently to chemicals so there is not a good way to predict how an individual will respond to chlorine in a pool. In general, it can be irritating to skin so it may worsen her acne. She should probably see a dermatologist to treat the acne prior to exposing her skin to any harsh chemicals, like chlorine. Good luck!
