Prevention measures in Sports Dermatology

Prevention measures in sports dermatology focus on protecting athletes' skin from injuries and conditions caused by physical activity. This includes using sunscreen to shield against harmful UV rays, wearing appropriate clothing to reduce friction and irritation, and practicing good hygiene to prevent infections. Proper hydration helps maintain skin elasticity, while regular skin checks can catch problems early. Additionally, athletes should be educated about the importance of moisturizing and avoiding sharing personal items like towels or gear, which can spread skin conditions. These steps contribute to healthier skin and improved performance in sports.
