Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You could have an allergic reaction to the chlorine in the pool or swimmer's itch, where one gets painful and or itchy blisters. You can apply cold compresses and use a mild hypoallergic soap for bathing. Along with the same, start applying a steroidal cream.

Hope that helps!
