I've felt that kind of irritation after swimming, but I don't think it's sunburn.

It might be that the chlorine is too harsh for your skin and your fingers become pruney from being in the water so long, and when they dry out they're really parched.

Rinse off with tap water immediately after getting out of the pool. Be sure to use hand moisturizer daily, especially after you wash your hands and shower. And it never hurts to keep your insides hydrated (after all, your skin is your largest organ), so be sure to drink 8 glasses of water every day (not juice or soda).

Hi Asya, Is this when you go swimming only that this happens?? If so it could be a sunburn. Go to Wal-Mart they should have several thing for sunburns and ask someone that works there which would be the best to help with pain and healing. Good Luck.

Are you wearing sunscreen? This is a very odd place to get sunburned. It seems likely that it is something else. I would recommend that you consult a doctor.

I doubt it is sunburn. I suggest you see a doctor if you are concerned.
