"The most common cause is a bacterial infection. Infection with the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium causes most cases of folliculitis. Folliculitis caused by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium is usually from hot tubs or spas. People who take antibiotics for a long time are more susceptible to folliculitis caused by the Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Proteus bacteria.
Thank you blam. As a matter of fact, this rash thing appeared just after I had taken heavy antibiotics for a case of pneumonia. Bizarre. I even put fresh water in the tub thinking that might help, but kept using the same bromide chemical. I even started thinking it might be a relapse of Lyme’s disease which I had about eight years ago.
Aye Yi Yi.
Stay well.
