A member asked:
My son has red blistery bumps all over his body, could it be from swimming in a above ground pool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: But only if the pool isn't clean. Folliculitis, more commonly seen from hot tubs, can be picked up by people who share a common swimming pool if there aren't enough chemicals in it. The good news is that it goes away by itself usually.
