A member asked:

Help please! is chlorine okay for my blisters if i want to go swimming?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blisters & Chlorine: Chlorine will not harm your blisters so you can go swimming. However, if your blisters are open and if the pool is not chlorinated correctly, you may pick up an infection.
