Hi,
I am a regular swimmer.When I swim for more than an hour in the pool then I get rashes on the stomach & my skin becomes red coloured.I showed to skin specilaist but no cure is found.Please help me out.

Is this only when you swim? Could it be possibly an allergic reaction with the chlorine?

I am not able to make out what allergy I have due to water.
Can anyone give any helpful advice to try.

Go to the doctor. It's not the water, it's the chemical.

what do you eat?
are you alergic to chlorine?
have you ever had a epidermic disease?


another explination might be the fact that your muscles are overtrained, and you don't have any glycogen reserves into your stomach, therefore, your muscles are "distroyed" in order to get energy. This is called catabolism and it represent the disbound of the proteins from the muscles into your liver, phenomenon that will give you low levels of energy.
I think you should eat after one hour of training, and after that take a rest. in 2 hours, you will be able to swim again.

I have approached the doctor & he has prescribed me some medicines including lotions & tablets.Hope it gets cured soon.

why all those medicines?
You could do what i've told you to do and see that it will work.

This happens to me except on my upper chest area. It is only the chlorine affecting your skin. I'm allergic to chlorine, but the rash has always gone away 30 minutes after swim practice.

you should really get those rashes checked...

I have started taking the medicines as prescribed by my doctor & in few days the rashes were vanishing. At present there are no rashes on my stomach & it was an allergy.
Thank you for all your replies.
