Where this comes from

Abstract

In brief Activity can cause or exacerbate certain skin conditions. Sweaty skin is a warm, moist environment for fungi and yeasts, and sports participation may transmit or worsen a viral condition such as herpes simplex. Specialized medication regimens and topical treatments can sometimes prevent a flare-up or minimize activity interruptions.
