âHot Tub Rashâ (Pseudomonas Dermatitis / Folliculitis) If contaminated water comes in contact with a personâs skin for a long period of time, it can cause a rash called hot tub rash, or dermatitis. Hot tub rash is often caused by infection with the germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This germ is common in the environment (for example, in the water and soil) and is microscopic, so it canât be seen with the naked eye.
Folliculitis usually looks like red pimples with a hair in the center of each one. The pimples may have pus in them, and they may itch or burn. When the pimples break open, they may drain pus, blood, or both. Hot tub folliculitis most often appears about 72 hours after you've been in a hot tub or spa.
