A member asked:

My daughter has a red rash with some white heads around her pubic area & nipples. what would cause this type of rash in just those areas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hot tub folliculitis: Healthy skin is resistant to infection, but when swimming, friction of bathing suit and moisture allow bacteria to infect hair follicles and cause the rash. More common from soaking in a hot tub and the bacteria is usually pseudomonas. The rash usually clears without Rx if you keep the skin cool and dry.
