How to recognize skin irritations?
A child's skin is always more fragile than that of adults. After swimming in the pool, you may notice that the child's skin is dry and itchy. Red patches or burning sensations may appear. Irritation may occur all over the body or in a few more sensitive areas. Such as the folds of the elbows, knees, hands and also on the face. It is important to know that the symptoms can also appear spontaneously, even after several swimming sessions. So not necessarily from the first swim.
Tips to relieve your child's irritated skin:
1. Rinse the child's skin with a PH neutral soap (atopic skin) toremove any traces of chlorine that may be present.
2. Spray a little thermal water on your child's body. This reduces itching and allows the epidermis to regenerate.
3. Dry the skin well
4. Apply a moisturizing cream or milk (for atopic skin) all over the body, but especially on the most sensitive areas (elbows, knees, hands and face).
Normally the signs of irritation should disappear. If this is not the case, it is advisable to consult a specialized doctor.
Tip to prevent skin irritation after swimming:
1.
Make sure your child to take
a shower with clear water before and
after each swim in the pool.
2.
Pay attention to your child's skin to
prevent signs of irritation (even before entering the pool). This may help you to know if chlorine is the cause of any irritation.
3. After each shower always
dry his skin well before "creaming" him4. Choose to moisturize
a cream for atopic skin (Also prefer soaps for atopic skin, at their age, they need softness).
5.
Encourage the use of goggles and a
silicone bathing cap during
swimming in the pool. Indeed,
the scalp also needs to be protected from the aggressions of chlorine.
6.
