Rash after swimming?

It might be sun poisoning??? Are there little bumps?
In that case, if it's sun poisoning, there are lotions specific to treat it, otherwise it will go away in a few days.
The only other thing I can think of is that you might have had a reaction to the chorine..?

Sounds like it might be a reaction to the chlorine/bromine in the pool, your sunscreen or a combination of the two?

I had an allergic reaction to my sunscreen when I was out in the sun a few weeks ago. It was strange because I'd used that brand before, but my neck got really itchy and then the next day was really flaky. I stopped with that particular sunscreen, switched to a different one, didn't sit in the sun, kept my neck moisturized and did some gentle exfoliation after the third day. It resolved in about a week.
