A member asked:
I went swimming about a week ago, just went to wash my suit and it still smells strongly of chlorine. could this be the cause of my really itchy skin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Absolutely: Could be the chlorine, towel, or material from the suit. Wash or soak the suit in gentle cleanser with a 1/4 cup of vinegar.

Yes: Yes. Shower with tepid water and moisturizer after swimming. Too much soap and hot water will over dry your skin.
