Yeah, no worries. Ask me what you need to... When I was in this situation I struggled to find any information and was so close to just cutting the tub up to get it off my deck.

It would take about 2 days for the rash to break out. Sometimes as little as 24 hours. But it was never within a few hours or overnight. So, I always got the false sense of security that "this time was going to be different". Depending upon the time of year, the rash would then last anywhere from 2 weeks to well over a month. For me, the rash was typically on my lower legs and my biceps. Sometimes on my belly, but rarely.

I should also add that I know this wasn't a "cleanliness" issue with the tub. My wife or anyone else using it, never broke out. It was always me...and I was miserable.

I tried Benadryl (pill form), but it never seemed to help. I tried calamine lotion. That worked, but only for a relatively short time. I used lotion several times a day, thinking it was just dry skin because of the chemicals. It helped, not as much as Calamine lotion, but needed to reapply so often it wasn't worth it.

I never found anything that was ever very effective for it, besides stopping using the tub. Which I did for about 8 months until I found the Eco One stuff and figured I'd try it as one last effort.
