The question should be addressed to dermatologists or allergists.
If you swam in the pool - there are "biting bacilli"
If the skin is tender, there may be irritation from sea salt. In this case, the systematic use of "fertilizers for the body" will solve all problems.
Good health to you!

We were in early November, the same story. As they explained to us, these are small jellyfish, they are almost invisible in the water, brought by the current. True, my household did not have allergies.

Oh, and I had the same feeling when I swam in the sea, that it was as if someone was biting, pinching, but there was no allergy. I didn't attach any importance.
We also rested in early November, but in Hurghada.

It happened to me too, at first no one believed me, and then they felt it themselves))). But in Makadi it was stronger. But no one was visible, that's for sure.)

option 2: either it is jellyfish (about 1 mm in size) or it is sea salt. Some skin types are irritated by salt, and the Red Sea is very salty. Salt crystals fall on sensitive areas of the skin and "burn" it

Ruslan33, this is not salt! It happened to me too: in the Abu Dabbab reserve (Marsa Alam), in mid-January. By the way, not everywhere. But only in the water area where there are a lot of turtles. Maybe there is some connection... These are the smallest organisms. Something like little shiny fleas. The size is approximately 0.05 mm. Seen as if sparkles, only in the bright sun, in oblique reflective rays. They bite as if pricked with a sharp needle. Then within 3 seconds burning and itching. Then everything passes without a trace. An unpleasant phenomenon, but tolerable.

Have you been stung by a jellyfish in Tunisia? I still have scars visible (a year has passed). In Egypt, it’s completely different. , but I agree with alexfabr19, it is very similar to fleas.

It seems to me that we are bitten by either salt or Mar creatures. I read everything on the Internet and it seems to me that we are being bitten by plankton!!!! That's when you swim far away, they don't bite you. According to Ruslana33, they are carried downstream if they
Takes out with the flow, then further we should bite more and bite less why?
