I know that chlorine is ok if anything it helps clean out the ulcers and bumps at least thatโ€™s what I read. But for me specifically I always put on Neosporin or any antibacterial cream and I keep them covered. Mines are mostly on my groin and inner thighs so i wear shorts to swim.

Hi Aquila,
I always make sure I put some kind of barrier cream on like sudacrem. Afterwards, I always shower with hibiscrub & put barrier cream on again. So far, so good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š
