Swimming pool cause white spots?

I noticed some light blotches of skin on the side of my face a couple days ago and for a a few days I could not really tell if it was getting better or worse. I didn't fully go swimming but was on a float in the pool and did get splashed a lot and I believe it was after that I noticed it. Then yesterday I fully went swimming and woke up and it seems the light/white blotches are all over my face. It is not really that noticeable cause my skin isn't very dark, but I was wondering if it could be the pool drying out my skin. I do seem to have pretty sensitive skin and I have eczema on my arms but its not really that bad I don't even use anything for it. A family member does have vitiligo so I am worried that it could be that. So is it possible that it was the pool and these spots will go away if i stop swimming?

    If the water is not pure in the pool it can cause many health problems including white spots. There are many allergies which is due to dirty water. Swimming pool is used by more than person, so use it after ensuring that water is changing with the use.

    White spots can also be because of some vitamin deficiencies. White spots can be the symptom of other underling diseases, or allergies.

    there are two possible reasons for the bubbles one is the calcium in the plaster is bleeding thru the sealer.or,when you add chemicals to the pool they are not dissolving so they hit the bottom of the pool and lay there.when adding any thing to the pool you should always make a slurry and pour that into the pool
