What’s in my water?

Hi! I don’t know if anyone could even help with this but there is something wrong with the water at my apartment. I have developed serious skin issues since moving in (eczema and sebderm) requiring strong topical steroids and prescription shampoo and prescription hair oil. I have never had this before. I put a filter on the shower as a bandaid; it helped a bit… I rent so a softener isn’t feasible. Filter has been on 3.5 weeks and is already completely clogged…water won’t even run through it. It is supposed to last 6 months and many product review endorse that as true. I took it off and it is pretty gross…any idea what this even is? Apologies—I know a chemical test would be ideal but it’s just not in the budget. I really appreciate any insight and completely understand that I am not giving a ton to work with…is this just normal?
