i'm not sure what this pink mildew is. it must be on me because when i move to other apartments it follows me. i've never had an infection or rash or anything to show any health problems. just that after a few weeks or months of living somewhere there appears pink mildew in the shower. anyone got a clue???

It is actually yeast. Yeast likes to grow in warm, moist places like a shower. You can get rid of it by cleaning your shower/bath with cleaner.

Signs of a moisture problem include musty odors, as well as characteristic black, gray, white or even pink splotches on your walls, furniture, bathroom tile or clothes. Mildew and molds can grow anywhere there is moisture, dirt and heat. They especially like warm, dark areas.
In many cases, a simple mixture of 1 gallon water and 1 cup liquid chlorine bleach is an effective mildew remover. In other cases, you may want to use detergent, ammonia, white vinegar, washing soda or some combination of these ingredients. Never mix liquid chlorine bleach and ammonia. This can produce toxic fumes.

It's just that: Pink mildew. And it can become a problem if not removed. Bleach is good for that.
Good luck!

I always thought it to be rusty pipes
