AB Hot  tub  folliculitis  is  a  pruritic,  pustular  eruption  confined  to  the  hair  follicle  and  secondary  to  a  cutaneous  infection  with  P  aeruginosa.  Patients  have  a  history  of  hot  tub,  whirlpool,  or  swimming  pool  exposure  within  24  to  72  hours  of  eruption.  The  lesions  have  a  predilection  for  areas  covered  with  bathing  suits.  Headache,  sore  throat,  earache,  and  fever  may  accompany  the  pustules  (but  do  not  necessarily  indicate  systemic  disease).
