Dermatological Screening in Athletes

Dermatological screening in athletes involves regular examinations of the skin and scalp to identify any potential issues, such as infections or unusual moles. Athletes are at higher risk for skin conditions due to sun exposure, sweat, and close physical contact. Early detection of skin problems can prevent more serious health issues, ensuring athletes stay healthy and perform at their best. The process typically includes a visual inspection by a healthcare professional, who assesses for any abnormalities and provides guidance on skincare and sun protection.
