i'm not laughing. {this is a bad way to start off the year!}
he asked me...hot tub? i sadly grumbled, yesss. he then replied, you have hot tub folliculitis.
{i mean really, they couldn't come up with a better name?!}
we were given a hot tub from a friend. we were really excited to get it working. we got it treated with chemicals and all.
WELL...we all got in last thurs. good times. until sunday rolled around. YIKES!
{Folliculitis begins as a red, tender area at or near the base of one or more strands of hair. It turns into a small, raised area of skin that contains pus (pustule) and often itches or burns. When these pustules break open, they may drain pus and/or blood.
The pustules that develop with deep folliculitis are usually larger, more painful, and longer-lasting than those from mild (superficial) folliculitis. Deep folliculitis can also lead to other skin infections that generally cause more pain and discomfort, such as a boil (furuncle) or carbuncle. Carbuncles may also cause a fever and make you feel ill.
"Hot tub folliculitis" typically appears about 72 hours after you have been in a hot tub or spa. Many small pustules appear on your torso and sometimes your arms and legs. You may have a mild fever and feel ill. This type of folliculitis usually goes away on its own within 7 to 10 days.}
THIS IS A FRIENDLY REMINDER. if you plan on hot tubbing this winter, make sure there is enough chlorine, in a neighborhood hot tub, in a friends, AND in your own!
sorry if i grossed you out. just thought i'd inform the public of something i had never heard of.
