MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Hot tub folliculitis |
 | | Hot tub folliculitis is an infection that develops after exposure to certain forms of bacteria that reside in warm, wet environments such as hot tubs. |
| | Pseudomonas survives in hot tubs, especially hot tubs made of wood, unless the pH and chlorine content are strictly controlled. |
| | The rash may be more dense under swimsuit areas, where the material has held the contaminated water in contact with the skin for a longer period of time. |
