Male Organ Rash from the Hot Tub
by John Dugan OwnerNothing
feels quite so good after a physical workout – or even just after a hard day at
the office – than sinking into a nice hot tub and feeling those jet sprays
pulsing against the skin. Whether it’s a hot tub in the privacy of his backyard
or bathroom or a communal hot tub at a gym or spa, the feeling of relaxation
and pleasure can’t be beat. But, while hot tubs are definitely enjoyable,
sometimes a guy leaves a hot tub with his member health impacted – even if he’s not aware of
it right away. For example, there are times when a male organ rash is directly
related to having spent time soaking in the spa tub.
Popular
According
to one 2015 study, more than five and a half million American homes had a hot
tub. Perhaps not surprisingly, they are most commonly found in states where the
weather tends to be warm. Texas homeowners owned almost 500,000, people in
Florida accounted for more than 300,000 and the state of California led them
all with almost 1,200,000.
Of
course, there also are “public” hot tubs, which are often found at places like
gyms or spa resorts. Some of these can be quite large and accommodate an
impressive amount of people.
Privately
owned hot tubs are often associated with sensual activity. When alone, many
couples enjoy using the tubs while completely bare, and the pulsating jets of
water can easily lead to excitement and sensual play. (The same can be true of
public tubs, but acting on desires in a public situation can often lead to legal
trouble.)
Hot
tub rash
Whether
bare or not, people need to know that the hot tub they are entering is properly
cleaned. Heat and water can be a breeding ground for bacteria, and heat can
also deplete the skin of the natural oils it requires to stay hydrated (even
when the source of that heat is water). With the skin dry and unprotected, the
bacteria are more likely to gain ground.
One
male organ rash (which can also be found elsewhere on the body) that can
develop in a hot tub that is not properly clean is called hot tub rash (aka
pseudomonas folliculitis). This is an infection of hair follicles; although it
is moist commonly caught from an unclean hot tub, it can also occur from an
unclean swimming pool, using a loofah sponge that contains the bacteria or
wearing a diving suit or swim clothes that are infected.
The
male organ rash develops near hair follicles and is small in size, red or pink
in color, and often has pus-filled bumps. In addition to the manhood, they may
show up almost anywhere else on the body, though rarely on the face. Sometimes
the rash is accompanied by a slight fever, tiredness, a headache and a sore
throat.
The
rash generally appears 1 to 4 days after exposure and usually resolves on its
own in 1-2 weeks.
Tub
maintenance
To
prevent hot tub rash, the tub needs to be regularly and adequately cleaned. The
proper amount of chlorine needs to be used to effectively kill harmful
bacteria. If a tub has a bad smell or exhibits signs of plant growth, it likely
is not receiving proper maintenance.
A
male organ rash from the hot tub may sometimes require an antibiotic crème from
a doctor. The itchiness accompanying it is often alleviated through use of a
first rate member health crème (health professionals
recommend Man1 Man Oil, which
is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The ideal crème will contain
both a natural hydrator (vitamin E is an excellent choice) and a high-end
emollient (soothing Shea butter is desirable). In addition, check that the
crème also contains vitamin A. This vitamin has anti-bacterial properties that
may help dampen the effects of a hot tub rash.
