Hello.
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems you got allergic reaction to chlorinated water.
Levocetrizine is perfectly safe for use in this situation.
Additionally i would advise you to apply betamethsone solution mixed with calamine and liquid paraffin all over affected areas to relieve itching and irritation.
Hope you will be fine soon.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
