Spa pool folliculitis is a skin condition that looks very much like acne but is caused by a bacterial infection of hair follicles. Spa pool folliculitis appears as a rash that consists of small red scratchy or tender bumps. The bacteria responsible, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , do not survive long on healthy normal skin so spa pool folliculitis usually settles by itself within a few days.

Mild cases do not require treatment. The best way to elude spa pool folliculitis is to only use swimming pools, hot tubs and other water sources that you are certain have been treated with the apposite pool chemicals and pools that are maintained on a common basis.

If there is a troublesome associated tickle or if the rash appears to be excessively motivated or receiving poorer instead of better, consult your physician even before with an over-the-counter anti-itch medication.
