Skin Irritation
So this week I practiced twice on my xpole at home which is made out of chrome I believe. I cleaned it with windex which i did early last year when I first purchased it however at that time I only ever did spins cause I was so new.
This week I seem to have broke out in a rash and it appears to be along my arms and inner thighs where my skin comes in contact with the pole alot while doing inverts.
I’m going to the doctor on Monday and have been taking claritin most of this week. Wondering if perhaps I’m having a reaction to the pole or windex. Anyone else ever have this happen?

Oh my, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif that doesn’t sound good. I’ve never had a problem BUT is sure seems like the windex might be whats causing irritation. I would stop using that and try something else for a while. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

As the queen of skin irritations, stop using the windex. In fact never, ever use it on the pole.
We use meths, which is sprayed onto a cloth, then thoroughly wiped off.
The last major issue I had was using a pole that was cleaned with "spray and wipe". My hands were swollen within 8 hours and were painful, burning, itchy and hot. Cold water made them even worse! I woke up scratching my hands until they were bleeding. I ended up taking anti-histamines, but I really had to ride it out. Nearly 4 weeks later, I’m at the tail end. Meths is the only thing that doesn’t react with my skin – and most cleaning products do. -

Over in the US if you tell someone your using meth its a whole different story…its an illegal drug LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif -

THanks for the tip. Now that I think of it after my first practice the palm of my hand and blisters were really tender thent he 2nd day they got worse after using the windex to clean the pole between moves. Can’t wait to see the doctor because I’ve been itchy for several days now.
