During swimming this guy wearing casual trainers kicked me in the bare stomach. It didn't hurt. But after one hour it turned all red and itchy. Would it have been anything from his shoe because the kick didnt hurt at all. It is still red and it is getting worse. But to my estimation it will just grow into some pox and then heal afterwards so I'm not really worried but I just want to know why my skin became red, itchy and irratated.

It could have been an allergy to something on the shoe, if it doesn't go away in 24 hours though, you might want to consider seeing a doctor to make sure it isn't something weird, like scabies.

The redness and irritation is probably due to the chlorine in the water. Apply some vaseline to help moisten the skin. If the redness does not subside after 12 hours, please see your doctor.
