i would think hurt, due to the chemicals, take a luke-warm to cool bath, put some oatmeal (or Aveeno) into it, or just leave it plain,

if you have broken the skin or a blister has popped i wouldn't go swimming - the chances of getting an infection is pretty high. if the outer layer of skin is ok - just red and inflamed i'm sure it would feel nice.

The chlorine may dry your skin out more and make it more itchy and sensitive.
