What Do Skin Rashes Indicate After Playing In A Public Hot Tub?
My 25 year old daughter has a skin rash expanding on her entire neck. It kind of looks like sand fleas. One side started a zig zag line of the dots (darker in middle) today which is about a week later since the rash began while at the beach and hot tub & pool on vacation. Can you help identify? I have pictures
It may be hot tub folliculitis present like bumpy, red rash that’s often itchy.
1. Applying warm compresses, which can help reduce itching and improve healing
2. Using anti-itching creams or lotions to help relieve discomfort.
3. Applying antibacterial creams like Neosporin to the affected areas to prevent secondary infection.
4. Applying apple cider vinegar to the affected area, either directly or by soaking in a bath containing apple cider vinegar.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
