Swimmer’s itch

Diagnosis

Swimmer’s itch will most likely be identified by your doctor after examining your skin and discussing your symptoms and activities with you. The ailment might resemble various skin disorders as well as poison ivy rash. A specific test is not available to identify swimmer’s itch.

Treatment

Usually, swimmer’s itch goes away on its own within a week. Your doctor could suggest prescription–strength lotions or creams if the itching is severe.
