Here are some photos, they are not real clear, but show a little of the rash!
Aiden woke up with a rash last Sunday morning! Ben and I were trying to figure out if it came from the pool or from the sheets at the hotel. Aiden has very sensitive skin and so we were thinking that it probably came from the sheets at the hotel because they use harsh chemicals! Well, that's not what happened.
After a couple days in Tucson we came home and took him to the Dr. The Dr. was completely stumped to what it was until we mentioned that he had been in a hot tub. Right away he said that it was Hot Tub Disease or Folliculitis! This is a Parasite that lives in the hot tub because of lack of cleaning and having the right balance of chemicals and PH! So if you own a hot tub make sure you drain it and clean it out completely every six months, and make sure your chemicals and PH are balanced!!!
The Dr said that this kind of rash is a waiting game. There is nothing you can do about it except lather up in Hydrocortisone cream and take Benadryl!
When Aiden first broke out, it was all over his body except for his face, head, hands and feet. Today (5 days after his first break out) he woke up and it has spread all over his face and neck, and some on his hands and feet.
None of the rest of our family got this, thankfully, but our niece Shae broke out a couple days ago just on her chin and arms! It's a very strange disease.
