“…Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis, also known as “hot tub folliculitis” and “splash rash,” 18 occurs after exposure to contaminated water in swimming pools, whirlpools, showers, baths and hot tubs 19–21 . The infection may also occur beneath diving suits and in women after leg‐shaving 22,23 .…”

Aquatic sports dermatoses: Part 1. In the Water: Freshwater Dermatoses

The first of this three-part series on water-related dermatoses involving the athlete will include sports occurring with the majority of time spent in the water. These sports include swimming, diving, scuba, snorkeling and water polo. Numerous authors have described dermatologic conditions commonly seen in swimmers. This series provides an updated and comprehensive review of these water dermatoses. In order to organize the vast number of skin conditions related to water exposure, we divided the skin conditions into groupings of infectious and organism-related dermatoses, irritant and allergic dermatoses and miscellaneous dermatoses. The vast majority of skin conditions involving the water athlete result from chemicals and microbes inhabiting each environment. When considering the effects of swimming on one's skin, it is also useful to differentiate between exposure to freshwater (lakes, ponds and swimming pools) and exposure to saltwater. This review will serve as a guide for dermatologists, sports medicine physicians and other medical practitioners in recognition and treatment of these conditions.

“…Several different serotypes of P. aeruginosa have been identified as causing this condition [Ratnam et al, 1986]. First recognized in the 1970s, cases have been repeatedly associated with the use of contaminated whirlpools, hot tubs, and swimming pools [McCausland and Cox, 1975;Gibson et al, 1983;Silverman and Nieland, 1983;Fox and Hambrick, 1984;Ratnam et al, 1986;CDC, 2000;Green, 2000]. Cases have also been associated with showers or baths [Huminer et al, 1989;Zichichi et al, 2000], water slides [CDC, 1983], wet suits [Lacour et al, 1994], and contaminated sponges [Bottone and Perez, 1993;Frenkel, 1993].…”
