What Causes Burning In Balls And Armpits After Swimming?
I went swimming in a pool today that had very high chlorine levels and after about 30 min my balls began to burn and hurt very bad along with my arm pits. I didn t think anything of it until I got out and it started hurting a lot worse and another friend of mine said the same thing was happening to him. Do you think it s a chemical burn and is it dangerous or will it be okay

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Some times high chlorine content in the water may cause burning sensation in eyes and highly sensitive skin(scrotal skin). So, it will subside on its own after some time. If not visit doctor. And tell the swimming pool authority to use only authorised quantity of chlorine to prevent this. All the best.
