Millions of people participate in sporting activities every day. During these activities, the most common injuries affect the skin. Cutaneous conditions afflict all athletes from the recreational neophyte to the professional. For years, dermatologists, primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, coaches, athletes, parents, public health officials, and the media have inundated me with questions and consultations regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of simple and occasionally complex skin diseases related to sports.
