pink spots from swimming in the pool....help!

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

DD1 went swimming at her friend's house with another of their friends.   The parents put the pool up 2 weekends ago.    all 3 girls got out of the pool and now they all have small pink spots all over their bodies.   ANy idea what would've caused that?  Anything I should worry about?

I have no idea, but I would call my doctor's office and ask them.  They are usually pretty good about either calming me down or bringing someone in they think they should see.

Maybe one of the pool chemicals did not get mixed in properly, or it has some algae or something. I really don't know.

 

 

Did they have pink spots when they got out of the pool, or did all the girls that were swimming develop pink spots after taking showers and whatnot?

 They got the spots when they got out of the pool.

Sounds like the chemicals are out of balance.  The chlorine may be too high.

We had this happen in our pool in FL, I left it too long before I treated it (being a new pool owner!  LOL ) and I think it was chiggers, little tiny mite bites.

 

But I would go and get em checked out!

My son used to break out in a rash in public pools due to the chlorine.  He also got bit by sea lice in the ocean causing red spots.

Yep, sounds like chlorine.  A dose of bendaryl and a good soapy shower usually cures it within 24 hours or so.  We have had that happen in public pools, too.

I wanted to add to this post as I have recently experanced this with my kids and my sister with my nephews this year. ALL because my mom bought her pool chemicals at WalMart. She usually buys them at the pool store. BAD chafing was happening to the kids and forget if they touched any pool toys it was worse.
