Can Chlorine Rash Causes A Burn-like Area On Penis After Swimming?

I'm 13, male, and a virgin, and I went swimming in a pool earlier 4 hours ago, and when I was about to get out, I felt a sharp pain in the head of my penis. I checked 5-10 minutes later, and I currently have an area on the side of my penis that looks like it was burnt, along with the area around the tip. It looks like a chlorine rash on the top left of it, and it is painful on contact. (This includes against pants when walking.) Should I just wait the night and see how it is in the morning? I've never had a problem like this in the past.

good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!!!

Yes it is common to see a chemical burn because of too much chlorine in the pool water.

Just wash it with soap and water and avoid going to pool until it clears up. It the symptoms persists you may need to see a urologist for a prescription for a topical cream to help you.
