CHLORINE ALSO HAS DAMAGES
Although chlorinated chemicals used in Pool disinfection protect us from harmful bacteria, these chemicals can have some negative effects on our skin, hair and nails when they stay in the water for a long time. By reducing the layer of oil (such as ceramics) that provides moisture to our skin, it causes dryness, tension, tenderness in our skin, while leading to easy breakage and decomposition of our hair and nails. Various infections can also be transmitted from the pool. One of them is fungal infections. A fungal infection called Pitriasis Versycholor, which can easily occur in a humid environment, especially settles on the upper parts of the back, chest, neck, arms. It can cause non-itchy, round, brown, sometimes white spots on the skin.

BEWARE OF HAND FOOT MOUTH DISEASE!
Some bacterial infections that can be transmitted from pools that are not disinfected well can cause itchy, painful reddened blisters, especially on the hands. Some viral skin infections, such as warts, molluscum, can also be transmitted from places where we come into contact with bare feet. Common hand in children-Foot-mouth disease is another type of viral infection that can be transmitted from pools. It causes rashes in the body, inside the mouth, and symptoms such as mild fever, loss of appetite can also be seen.

FOR WHOM IS IT RISKY?
Allergic, having sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis, or skin sensitivity to chlorine in the pool to come very often to those with water-resistant sunscreen cream syrup for a short time stay in the pool, they need to get out of the shower and moisturizing their skin. People with infectious viral infection on their skin, such as warts, molluscum, should not enter the pool without treatment. Those with open wounds on their hands and feet should not enter the pool until the wound heals, as it is open to infections that may come from outside.
.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE RECOMMENDATIONS
Choose a waterproof sunscreen for your body. Other than sunscreen, lotions applied to the body may interact with chlorine or sunscreen and cause allergic reactions. For this reason, just apply sunscreen instead of moisturizing cream before entering the water. To protect your hair from the harmful effects of chlorinated water, apply an oil-based hair spray or lotion to your hair 30 minutes before entering the water. In order to avoid fungal infections, you should not contact your body on the edges of the pool, take a shower and dry out immediately after pool. Keeping the body moist, sweaty will increase the predisposition to fungal infections. For this reason, you should not stay in a wet bathing suit for a long time, you should not lie on a chaise lounge without towel. Wearing pool socks/booties on our feet will protect against infections in Turkey that can be transmitted from the floor.
