Is it okay for me to swim in a pool and I have eczema?!


Question: Is it okay for me to swim in a pool and I have eczema!?
I have really bad eczema in my joints, and sometimes they get irritated if I use glitter lotion or certain types of perfume!. Well my friends want to go swimming this weekend but I'm afraid I won't be able to go because of my eczema!. My arms and leg joints get really really itchy and sometimes get rashes, if I have allergic reactions to perfumes and lotions, does that mean that it's rather safe I didn't go swimming with my friends!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I would make a quick call to my primary physician, you did not identify the type of eczema you have, for example, if it is atopic as you suggest, you may have more of a dermatitis, and that could be aggravated by exposure to sun and surf-give them a call, might prevent a real problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it's safe to swim!. Be sure to tell everyone that eczema is not contagious!. It is a skin condition that is an allergic reaction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
