I caught a type of ringworm on my head after swimming almost daily for a week in the pool. First time kenna. Have gone to doc and now on antibiotics. Ask someone to check the back of your head if you have been swimming. Red patches with pattern I was told. No itch. I suffered hair loss in my case.

Just be careful if you are a swimmer. I think public pools may be slacking in their maintenance. I saw one pool did its cleaning mid morning. All swimmers had to get off the pool for cleaning to take place. No wonder the water was salty. All these while I thought cleaning took place before pools were opened to public, guess I was wrong.
