England, AR

Can a person with HS go to the swimming pool? Would the chlorine have an impact on HS?

with swimming i jave 3 main things i do
1. wear a swim suit that covers flare up spots
2. swim in fully chlorinated or salt water or a mix of both
3. never swim in lakes rivers or streams because they harbor bacteria that can be massively harmful.

i hope this helps.

I would think the chlorine would help kill bacteria
