Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion, you are mostly having allergic skin lesions due to chlorinated water exposure.
Possibility of sun related skin changes are less. As sun exposure causes blackening of skin.
Chlorine is very well known skin allergen.
And it is used as disinfectant in swimming pool water.
So susceptible individuals, on exposure to chlorinated water can develop allergic skin lesions.
So better to avoid swimming pool for few days.
Start antihistamine and anti allergic drugs. Apply steroid containing cream on affected skin areas.
Since all these drugs are prescribed medicines, you need to consult dermatologist for their prescription.
I find this answer helpful
