Sporting Dermatoses

Sporting dermatoses refers to skin conditions that arise due to athletic activities. These can include rashes, blisters, and infections caused by friction, heat, or exposure to the elements. Common examples are chafing from sports gear, fungal infections from shared facilities, or acne from sweating. Athletes are often at higher risk for these issues because of their active lifestyles and specific environments. Proper hygiene, protective gear, and timely treatment can help prevent and manage these skin problems, ensuring that athletes maintain healthy skin while participating in their sports.
