“…Saddle sores are referred to as lesions affecting the skin in the saddle area, which can be acute or chronic [1,[3][4][5]9,10,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Acute phase saddle sores present with chafing of the skin and erythema and are associated with infections such as folliculitis and furunculitis [1,9,13].…”

“…The most common risk factor cited was cycle duration. Many authors noted that longdistance cyclists were more at risk and this is backed up by case studies [1,4,13,14]. Higher intensity training was also a commonly cited risk factor [9].…”

“…Saddle sores have been described using a myriad of different terms in the literature [4,5,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The term saddle sore is almost universally recognised to describe the acute presentation, and this is backed up by the included literature, as well as the authors' own experiences of working in this field.…”

“…The most common risk factor for saddle sores identified in the studies was long distance cycling [1,3,4,13,14]. Two of the patients in a case study included described the initial onset of saddle sores after a particularly long cycle, one of which was reported to be between 200 and 250 km [4].…”

“…They are a reportedly common occurrence at both elite and recreational levels [1]. People who cycle frequently or over long-distances appear to be more at risk [3][4][5].…”

Objectives: To summarise and map the existing evidence relating to the definition, prevalence, prevention and management of saddle sores within the literature and highlight research gaps. Design: Scoping review. Data Sources: Three databases were searched using an appropriate search strategy agreed on by the authors with the aid of an experienced medical librarian; these databases were MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science. Eligibility Criteria: To be included in this review, studies must have made specific reference to dermatological conditions that affect the saddle area, specifically arising from cycling, in either sex. Results: Seventeen studies were selected for inclusion. Saddle sores in males were the focus of thirteen studies, with only two reporting in females. Saddle sores were defined as connective tissue lesions affecting the skin in the saddle area, which can be both acute and chronic. Commonly cited preventions were chamois cream, high quality, well-fitting cycling equipment and good personal hygiene. Management in the early stages usually involves rest. Topical and intralesional steroids and lubricating creams are recommended treatments for small saddle sores, with surgical excision an option for larger, persistent saddle sores. However, surgery and steroid use may increase risk of recurrence. Conclusions: Saddle sores are an underrepresented, male-dominated issue within the literature. There is particularly limited evidence around treatment options, including topical steroids and surgical removal. Further well-designed observational studies and/or randomised controlled trials will help provide further evidence on prevalence, prevention and treatment available in the future.
