    No changes in diet or shampoo etc.

    I've soaked the entire bath in domestos and will give it a good rinse. Girls had a shower tonight and both of them are red & inflamed all in the same spots, it's bizarre. If just one of them had it then I'd be thinking it was random but it's just weird that both of them look like identical twins with it affecting the identical spots.

    The Dr suggested it might be from swimming as they are both in lessons at the same place but they've been doing lessons for over 6 months and this is the first time it's been like this. It was certainly a little worse after swimming but they only have 3 more weeks of lessons and then they are done for the year.

    Tonight they were lathered in QV cream, then QV Flare up cream on top (which my eldest said was making it sting) then some Advantan on the worse and most inflamed spots. Mainly over their buttocks and front + back of thighs. My youngest actually made herself bleed from itching.

    They could have changed the amount of chlorine..

    I can notice the difference walking into our kids swimming lessons in the past few weeks..

    Yeah, the chlorine smell seems to be stronger at my DDs swim school too!
