Systemic Diseases and Sports

Systemic diseases are conditions that affect the entire body, rather than just one specific area. In sports dermatology, these diseases can manifest through skin symptoms, impacting athletes' performance and overall health. For example, conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders can lead to skin issues, such as delayed wound healing or rashes. Athletes must be aware of how their systemic health affects their skin and vice versa. Proper management and awareness of these conditions are essential to maintain both skin and athletic performance, ensuring athletes stay healthy and competitive.
