Reaction to chemicals in hot tub

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a natural remedy for a reaction to chemicals used in a

hot tub? Red itchy rash feels like a sunburn etc. Something to sooth

the itchy rash? She's tried benadryl, vinager bath, cortisone cream,

coconut oil etc. Something I can recommend for home use in addition to

what I can do for her.

 

Thanks

She may have gotten a bacteria on her skin from the hot tub. She can try witch

hazel. It worked for my daughter and me. It is very soothing.

hi Jenny-i'd try making a pot of cammomile tea-drink some and use rest to dab

on skin-after shower use a squirt of alpha kerri oil on skin-------pinetarsol

is also good in bath to help stop itch and perhaps lavendar oil in bath

too--------i,d probally make a mix of the 3 oils and put a tablespoon or two in

warm bath--------the lavendar oil is good for inflamation -but use a little as

the esential oils could irritate the sensitive skin--echinachea is good for

allergy and may help in recovery( orally)----no caffeine-or talcum powder-use

cotton clothes and sheets-----not sure about the coconut oil-it can tend to dry

the skin-might make it worse-the alpha kerri oil will sooth it and prevent a dry

skin catching on clothes

Aloe with Lidocaine

slathered on the body

 

Then wrapped in Wet Cloth

 

For example, take a set of cotton long underwear

Make sure it is clean & has no residue

if needed, place in washing machine on rinse cycle with a little

vinegar to get any soap residue out

Put the clothes on while still wet (not dripping, but fully wet)

 

The allow that Wet Clothing to dry while on the body (if needed wrap

in a sheet on top of the wet clothing in order to keep from getting

chilled)

 

Then... either avoid Chlorine & Bromine in the future or swap to

Baquaspa in that hot tub... purge all water with the bad chemicals.

--Pure aloe vera fresh would help and in the meantime how about baking

soda baths? Calendula and comfrey and red clover would help heal up the

red rash.

We have already tried aloe. She is so burned she

cannot wear clothing. It's a chemical burn from the

chlorine in the hot tub. Everyone was burned, but she

is the worst.

 

We've also tried vinager, cocobutter, cortizone cream

and benadryl.

 

She is allergic to lavender and chamomile so that is

out...we're at a loss.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, we'll keep trying.

I highly recommend pure aloe vera. She could have been exposed to a fungus

versus a bacteria (there are some nasty ones out there) and aloe has anti

fungal properties (my dad cleared up his athlete's foot with it).

I understand your problem better now, knowing it is a chemical burn.

 

If it was chlorine, then the NaOCl actually destroys the top layer of skin

(why your fingers feel " slippery " when you touch bleach, the slipperiness is

the skin dissolved). In swimming pools, a slightly different chemical is

used, dry HTH (a crystalline substance) typically 40% or so calcium

hypochlorite which is also stabilized with NaOH (lye). (Sorry for the

chemistry, I can't help myself, it is my background).

 

I am guessing that the itching is due to the skin healing and being replaced

(what you feel under a scab sometimes). Knowing this, use products that

will help the regeneration of skin -- I would recommend Vitamin E oil, in

particular. A baking soda bath would have helped neutralize the reaction if

you had realized it soon enough, but probably will not help much at this

point. The vitamin e oil may not provide much itching relief, but will

speed the healing, which will shorten the misery. Some products may

irritate the skin further, so be careful. Calamine actually has a drying

effect, and since the oils on the skin were already dissolved by the

chemicals, this could make it worse.

 

Best of luck with this.
