“…Aluminium-based antiperspirants, which aim to block the sweat glands, have been used to prevent excessive perspiration of foot skin [21,32]. Knapik et al (1998) found that the risk of blister formation was reduced by 12% with the use of an antiperspirant and the lowest incidence of blisters was seen after 3 days of antiperspirant use [26].…”

“…Therefore the antiperspirant effect observed in this study is not representative of regular use. Antiperspirants prevent excessive sweating by plugging sweat glands [32] and when applied in successive days the action of the antiperspirant accumulated for greater efficacy. However, we would argue that for foot blisters, use of an antiperspirant is probably limited to specific events where a risk of blister is expected, such as a running event or use of new footwear.…”

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) are common in military populations regularly living and training in close contact with each other. The majority of such infections are simple and can be easily treated with antibiotics and appropriate infection control practices. Some, however, can progress to become complex and even life threatening, such as Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL)-associated staphylococcus aureus pneumonia, or Streptococcus pyogenes necrotising fasciitis, which carry a mortality rate of up to 65% and 30%, respectively. This review focuses on the most important SSTIs and those more commonly affecting military personnel with advice on how they are best managed.

“…Shearing forces in these areas cause relative movement of the upper and lower layers of the epidermis, leading to mechanical fatigue and reduced intercellular adhesion [95]. Primary risk factors include ill-fitting equipment (clothing, baseball mitt, shoes), sweat, heat, and prolonged activity [94,96,97].…”

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.
