Sport-Related Skin Injuries

Sport-related skin injuries occur when athletes experience damage to their skin during physical activity. Common types include cuts, bruises, blisters, and scrapes caused by contact with equipment, other players, or the ground. These injuries can result from falls, collisions, or repetitive friction. Proper hygiene, protective gear, and prompt care help prevent infections and promote healing. While generally minor, if not properly treated, some skin injuries can lead to complications, so it’s important to clean wounds and seek medical attention if needed. Overall, understanding and addressing skin injuries are key to staying safe and healthy in sports.
