Hi,

It seems like there is a problem with the water in the pond. It may be excessively chlorinated that is causing the itching problem. You need to take a shower with good soap before and immediately after you leave the pond every time. It cleanses all the chlorine and impurities away from your body skin.

Try changing the pool or stop swimming for some time and look for improvement in your symptoms. If your symptoms improve, then probably that is the permanent solution to your problem.

Meanwhile continue to take the anti-histamines like Cetzine.

I wish you quick recovery.

Take care.
