pool + psoriasis

general

Hi guys i have been having psoriasis eczema for a life time and it always came into my head id always be the kid at pool parties sitting down helping out and eating because i have been told by my parents + dermatologist that i cannot get into pools for cautious reasons, obviously and ive been following that rule but ive been starting to get fomo and i dont have a follow up till october so i cant just text and ask i wanna know if anyone with eczema has ever tried a pool? i wanna know what happens, what do i do? what do i put on my body? and im sorry if its a dumb question but i just really wanna know what could happen to the skin if it touches
chlorinated water especially at a certain pH level too?
i am on triamcinolone i moisturize my body i have a diet to help the flares and im on Isotretinoin (Accutane) but currently did stop but anything could really help. Let me know if i can or cannot get into pools please and thank you.
