rash
by SJL7, Sep 09, 2009 11:14PM
My son has a pimple like rash on his hips & butt and it is spreading. I think it might be hot tub rash (he was in one this past weekend), I just didnt know it this rash spreads b/c its getting worse. He says it doesn't itch but hurts, he describes it as a stinging.

From the symptoms, it sounds like hot tub folliculitis. It is an infection of the hair follicle with Pseudomonas bacteria and is most commonly seen in people who bathe in a contaminated spa, swimming pool, or hot tub.
I would suggest that you apply calamine lotion and a simple antimicrobial cream like Bactroban or Neosporin on the rash and keep the area clean.I f the symptoms persist then topical steroids and oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your son is doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Thanks again.
