Skin Injuries in Athletes

Skin injuries in athletes are common and can include cuts, abrasions, blisters, and burns. These injuries often occur due to friction, impact, or exposure to the elements during sports activities. Poor equipment or inadequate protective gear can increase the risk. While most skin injuries are minor and heal quickly, they can lead to infections if not properly cared for. Athletes should practice good hygiene, use appropriate protective gear, and seek medical attention for persistent or severe injuries to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
