I was thinking of changing from chlorine to something else ? My doc told me it was jock itch
Hi AllI am just about ready to to give up this water sport. ( hot tubing)In the last 3 or4 for months I have I have a very bad case of Hot tub rash as I call it. I get it mostly in the groin and under my arms and is VERY hard to cureI've been to the doc and he gave me some cream when it was not too bad and steroids when it got very bad. I change the water every 4 months and all readings from test strips are right where they should be . I take a shower after tub which helps but not fully I would love some help on this because I love my HOT TUB but when this hits esp below the belt it can make life not so much fun .I was thinking of changing from chlorine to something else ? My doc told me it was jock itchbut never having it before I don't know . Question ....What can cause something like this and HOW do I keep it from happening again . Any info would be great . Any one else have this problem ? thanks ..Will
If which tells me that your water wasn't sanitized. ?
Could be a good point. Even though I'm a 4 year vet now I just recently ran into this. When I started with Nature 2, I cut back on my dichlor. The water was still looking great, but I started getting the slightest symptoms of a rash (no redness, so I didn't recognize it) after reading this, I thought, even though the water looks great, I might be having a little reaction to bacteria. I added just a bit more dichlor and things are back to normal.
Help! I think I may also have this ailment but I don't know for sure. It started off on my neck and now has spread to my armpits and face. It's not really itchy just ugly. I had the water tested yesterday and the ph was low and the cholorine was 5.4. I didn't realize the cholorine was so high. I have very sensitive skin. Do you think it is the cholorine.
Could be?? hows the sanitizer?? if i use to much chlorine or sanitizer i get itchy.
It's not itchy though. It's just these raised little red bumps. And who feels like going to the Doc in the Box on a Sunday--wait for hours--and have them tell you--there's nothing we can do.No one else who used the tub has a problem. Except my son just developed his first bump when I got home today. I hope it's just too much chlorine but who knows.
