Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My nipples have been itching like crazy, they are tender to touch. I also have an itchy red rash under my arms, near the armpit and on my legs. I am wondering if I could be having a reaction to the chlorine in a pool, as I have been swimming daily?
Hello - Welcome to HCAM. I looks like for me inflammation of the breast, which also cause such symptoms. But since its seen also under your arms - it looks like generalised, which can be seen in the case of allergic reactions. However it cannot be ignored and i wold examine rashes and come to conclusion. So please visit your doctor if the symptoms persists. Hope it helps. Thank you.
