Dermatologic problems in athletes

W F Bergfeld. Clin Sports Med. 1982 Nov.

Abstract

The skin diseases observed in athletes are common dermatologic problems that are related specifically to the individual skin type, hereditary factors, age, sex, environment, and sporting activity. Early recognition and treatment of these skin diseases permit the athlete to continue participation without disability or reduced performance.
