These unpleasant conditions indicate that the pool water has not been properly treated. A common cause is high levels of chloramines, formed when chlorine combines with body oils, perspiration, urine and other contaminants brought into pools by swimmers. Contrary to what most people think, a strong chemical smell is not an indication of too much chlorine in the pool. In fact, the pool may actually need additional chlorine treatment to get rid of chloramines and sanitize the water.

immediate measure would be to use Collyrium Fresh. If it is not doing better in a day or so, please call for an appointment.

The Dry Skin Eye Gel can not be put into the eyes. It is for the skin around the eyes. It should not be put onto the eye ball itself or under the eye lids.

Shower after you swim and use a mild soap to remove pool chemicals. There are swimmer soaps that are supposed to remove pool chemicals from the skin, or you can use that swimmer shampoo as a body shampoo. You might find that using a exfoliant or scrub puff to remove scaly dead skin will take care of that "fishscale" appearance. Apply a mild lotion while the skin is still moist. Sitting around in a wet bathing suit can result in a rash.

The skin around the eyes is delicate and easily irritated. Examine the gasket on your goggles. If the gasket is rough or discolored, it should be replaced or the goggles discarded. Neoprene gaskets will eventually "alligator". Discoloration may indicate some kind of fungus or bacteria. Finally, some people will be allergic to the gasket material and will need to choose a different style of goggles. Inspect the goggles lens. Sometimes there will be funk growing in the crevices.

This type of allergy is called contact dermatitis. Jewelry often contains nickel. Wearing only jewelry of 18 carat gold may help. People with this type of contact dermatitis may also have difficulties with other items that contain metal, such as doorknobs, keys, metal snaps, buttons and zippers on clothing.

It is normal for the treated area to exhibit redness and slight swelling following treatment. This typically lasts 20 minutes to an hour depending on skin sensitivity. Tiny scabs may appear on the treated follicles. This is a natural part of the healing process. If tiny scabs do form, do not exfoliate or remove them, as pitting may occur. Let them heal naturally.

Odor is usually caused by decomposition. Two types of bacteria are present during decomposition, anaerobic (without oxygen) and aerobic (requiring oxygen) bacteria. Usually the anaerobic bacteria outnumbers the aerobic which is what we smell as an odor. These great liquids contain no bacteria but work by activating the aerobic bacteria already present, breaking down waste and crowding out the odor-causing anaerobic bacteria.

If this happens, you should simply discontinue using the product. If redness persists, stop using the product and consult your doctor.

Red-eye is caused by light from your flash bouncing off of your subject's retina. So, how do you minimize it? There are several approaches: Minimize the subject's pupil size, thus reducing the amount of light that reaches the retina to be reflected back. The so-called red-eye reduction modes in many flashes and cameras today try to do precisely this by hitting the subject with a "pre-flash" of bright light designed to make the pupils constrict.

There are a variety of factors that can impact the taste or smell of tap water but not change the quality of the water. In Charleston Water System's case, algae in our surface water, when put through the treatment process, can give off harmless compounds that may cause the water to taste earthy or musty. In most cases, taste and odor is a purely aesthetic concern, and is not a reliable indicator of water quality.

High chlorine can cause your eyes to burn but it is more than likely due to poorly balanced water. Improperly balanced pH would be the most likely cause. This is why water balance is so important.

Answer: Sometimes the blood vessels in the conjunctiva will break and bleed. Many patients will notice this especially if they have worn contact lenses over a period of years. It usually takes at least 3 weeks for redness or bloodshot to disappear, but please remember this will not affect your vision.

No! All waste is drawn away by a separate strong stream of water (not the water that goes into the colon, which is low pressure).

Strong, smelly chlorine odor means you have chloramines, organic by products of chlorine oxidizing sweat, urine and other contaminates. Ridding the spa of chloramines requires a shock treatment. (either chlorine or non-chlorine)

Tidewater treats its supplies to ensure that water delivered is safe to drink and that it meets drinking water standards. This may mean that you may encounter chlorine-type tastes or odors from time to time. If you find this unacceptable, collect tap water in a container, shake it and let in stand for a while before covering the container and placing it in the refrigerator for drinking. The chlorine odor will dissipate.

The acne medications used in AcneRecovery can cause side effects like that. But, those symptoms are generally dose-dependent. That means that they higher the concentration of the medication, the more likely it is to cause the side effect. Because AcneRecovery is adjustable, you are able to decrease the concentration of the dose you are using.

This is a very difficult question and unfortunately cannot be answered effectively. From my own personal experience, I can tell you that many, but not all, of the itchy skin cases are intrinsic in origin and not due to external factors. Visit your veterinarian for the best advice on this. Your dog's diet is usually the best place to start. Common food allergies include soy, beef and the multitude of preservatives and chemical additives found in low grade dog foods.

Allergy (normally too much protein in their food, such as yoghurt drops, dog biscuits, even too much dried rat food). We have rehomed loads of rats recently who have developed skin allergies ? due to loving owners understandably spoiling them. If your rattie experiences skin problems, no matter what you think the cause may be, please take them to the vet!

Those dry, itchy red patches that occur on the skin are often from a condition known as eczema.

Scratching only makes it worse.
