Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* This is due to chemical burns on skin following swimming pool water exposure
which got worsened by hot sun rays .
* Guidelines for better relief
@ Local care
- Do not poke the bump to take out fluid ( which may cause infection ) .
- Ice pack application 3 times a day for 5 minutes each .
- Zinc oxide application ( with help of sterile stick ) in form of thin layer
3 times a day .
- Wear loose , clean , cotton clothes .
- Avoid exposure to excess heat .
@ Systemic care
- Avoid prednisone tablets ( which will delay the healing process ) .
- Get prescription of tablet benadryl to be taken 2 times a day after meals .
- Can take tab. ibuprofen ( 400 ) mg 3 times a day after meals if no drug
sensitivity .
- Consume plenty of liquids , balanced nutritious diet for faster healing .
- Keep blood sugar under control .
* Need of systemic antibiotics require physical examination or an evaluation
with a photo pic of the bump as an attachment if possible .
Hope this clears your query .
Wishing you fine recovery .

Detailed Answer:
Welcome XXXXXXX ,
Glad to hear about your progress & recovery .
* Kindly find further details for your queries
@ Blood test is not required for you at this recovering stage .
It is the skin layer issue with reactions and eruptions , not systemic absorption
Usually it takes around 2 - 3 weeks for recovery .
@ Malaise and low energy is from over work , not skin condition .
Consume plenty of liquids preferably organic tea , coffee , lemon juice more .
Pure honey also helps for this .
Try to manage at least 6 - 7 hours sound sleep for early recovery .
I personally recommend for YOGA for stress ( not for skin problem ) .
@ Continue epsom salt bath , that will help healing for sure .
Welcome for any further assistance .
Regards .
