Abstract
In brief Sports activity exposes the skin brief to various stresses, including friction and pressure from clothing and equipment; prolonged wetness from perspiration; and sunlight, cold, and heat. A variety of injuries can result. Briefly described here are the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of some of the most common ones: sunburn and sun-induced aging, frostnip and frostbite, acne mechanica, calluses and corns, friction blisters, jogger's nipples, and black heel.
