Hot Tub Folliculitis

Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?

The signs of hot tub folliculitis usually occur within 3 days of using of a poorly chlorinated hot tub. These include:

  • itchy, bumpy rash on the trunk, arms, legs, and buttocks. This usually begins 6 hours to 3 days after using a hot tub.
  • small fluid filled blisters called pustules. Untreated, pustules may progress into dark, red, tender, hard nodules, also known as furuncles or boils.
  • body-wide discomfort
  • low-grade fever as symptoms progress
