Abstract
All athletes have an increased risk of cutaneous infections. In both team and individual sports the skin is exposed to a range of infectious organisms. While effective therapies exist, preventive measures can decrease outbreaks of most sports-related dermatologic infections. This article highlights common dermatologic infections of the athlete, their prevention and treatment.
