How is spa pool folliculitis treated?
A mild case of spa pool folliculitis may go away, untreated, within seven to ten days but may stick around for several weeks. If there is a troublesome associated itch or if the rash appears to be excessively irritated or getting worse instead of better, consult your doctor even before using an over-the-counter anti-itch medication. Your physician may prescribe an oral or topical antibiotic. An improperly treated case of folliculitis or a severe case can get progressively worse and develop into furuncles (boils) and then into carbuncles.
