“…6,7 Dermatologic barriers are not as well explored in the literature. Many patients believe that exercise and associated sweating may exacerbate common dermatologic conditions, including acne, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] atopic dermatitis, 15,16 and folliculitis. 14,17 An additional and minimally explored dermatologic barrier to exercise cited by African American women is hairstyle management.…”

Objective: To characterize the influence of hairstyle maintenance on exercise behavior in African American women.Design: A 40-item survey with questions concerning hair care practices, physical activity, and the relationship between the two.Setting: University-affiliated dermatology department at an academic medical center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Participants: A total of 123 African American women from 21 to 60 years of age were surveyed; 103 women completed the questionnaire. Main Outcome Measures:The statistical significance of relationships between hair care practices and physical activity was determined.Results: Fifty percent of African American women surveyed have modified their hairstyle to accommodate exercise and nearly 40% (37.9%) avoid exercise at times owing to hair-related issues. Respondents who exercised less owing to hair concerns were 2.9 times less likely to exercise more than 150 min/wk (95% CI,0.9-9.4; P=.08). Conclusion:Dermatologists can discuss hair management strategies during exercise that facilitate routinely performing exercise.

“…4,10 Risk factors for the development of tinea pedis include occlusion of the skin with increased carbon dioxide tension, perspiration with secondary maceration of the epidermis, trauma, and using showers with colonized floors. 1,5,7,8,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Several treatment options are available for tinea pedis. Astringent soaks may be used in the web spaces to debride macerated tissue that is a common site for secondary infection.…”

“…Diagnosis of talon/tache noir, although apparent from history and physical examination, is confirmed by observing black discoloration without active bleeding in successive layers of pared stratum corneum [120,121]. The black puncta can be scraped from the skin, mixed with a small amount of water, and dabbed on to an occult blood screening test to detect the presence of blood [31]. Dermoscopy can help differentiate melanocytic from purpuric lesions, which have red-black homogenous pigmentation bordered by isolated red-black globules [121,122].…”

Each year in the United States over 80 million people participate in bat-and-ball sports, for example baseball and softball. Cricket, the world's second most popular sport, is enjoyed by hundreds of millions of participants in such countries as India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe. Although any player can develop skin disease as a result of participation in these bat-and-ball sports, competitive team athletes are especially prone to skin problems related to infection, trauma, allergy, solar exposure, and other causes. These diseases can produce symptoms that hinder individual athletic performance and participation. In this review, we discuss the diagnosis and best-practice management of skin diseases that can develop as a result of participation in baseball, softball, and cricket.
