2
Can be caused or made worse by athletic participation Can be prevented with proper hygiene & ensuring that equipment & shoes fit properly Usually caused by bacteria or fungi that thrive in warm, damp areas Infectious forms can spread rapidly in contact sports
3
Results from heat, pressure, occlusion, and friction Usually occurs on shoulders, back, head Common result when using tight, synthetic clothing, helmets, & shoulder pads
4
Occur in warm, moist areas of body Tinea pedis: fungal infection that thrives in warmth & dampness; often referred to as Athlete’s Foot or ringworm Tinea Cruris: fungal infection found in the groin area; often referred to as Jock Itch
5
Symptoms: Inflammation Burning Itching Scaling Blistering Treatment Goal: Reduce moisture Avoid transmission Treatment At home, take off shoes & expose feet to air Change socks & underwear daily Dry feet carefully after using public locker room Avoid walking barefoot in public areas Don’t wear thick clothing for long periods in warm weather Throw away worn out shoes Do not share shoes, headgear, towels
7
Athlete's foot can cause itching, stinging and burning between your toes. It may also cause cracking, peeling skin.
8
Type of herpes fungal infection Transmitted by virus through skin-to-skin contact (ex. wrestling) Treatment: topical & oral antifungal medications Out 10-15 days
9
Caused by friction, along with heat & moisture Tear occurs, forming space between layers of skin Fluid seeps into space- skin bubbles Treatment: Relieve pain Keep blister from enlarging Avoid infection Prevention: Keep skin lubricated Properly fitting shoes & socks
11
Small, hard growths on the bottom of the foot Caused by a virus; contagious Treatment: cutting, burning, freezing off Prevention: DON’T WALK BAREFOOT @ SCHOOL/GYM--EVER
12
Type of staph infection resistant to antibiotics Transmission Person-to-person contact Poor hygiene Shared equip., towels Improperly cleaned equipment Symptoms A skin abscess Drainage of pus or other fluids from the site Fever Warmth/Reddening around the infected area Diagnosis Only through microbial testing Treatment: Surgically excised Powerful antibiotics
13
MRSA
14
Keep hands clean Shower immediately following activity Avoid whirlpools or common tubs Avoid sharing towels, razors, daily athletic gear Properly wash athletic gear & towels after each use Maintain clean facilities & equipment Inform or refer to appropriate health care Administer or seek first aid Encourage health care professionals to seek bacterial cultures for proper diagnosis Care & cover skin lesions/cut properly before participation
15
Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. It commonly causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin, although some patients have no dermatological symptoms.chronicautoimmune disease
16
Psoriasis is not contagious.
17
Port-wine stain is a flat pink, red, or purplish discoloration present at birth due to malformed blood vessels. Port-wine stains are harmless, permanent discolorations. However, their cosmetic appearance may be psychologically bothersome or even devastating.
18
A chronic disorder that causes depigmentation of patches of skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function.chronic depigmentationskin melanocytesskin pigmentation
19
The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but research suggests that is may arise from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative stress, neural, or viral causes. The incidence worldwide is less than 1%. autoimmune oxidative stress
20
Malignant melanoma – Cancerous melanocytes grow and spread quickly. 2% of all cancers Risks: 1.Skin type 2.Sun exposure 3.Family history 4.Age 5.Immunological status A= asymmetry B= border C= color D= diameter Normal mole Melanoma
21
Caused by sun damage. Can lead to squamous cell carcinoma.
22
The most common skin cancer. Treatment is usually surgical removal. Survival rate is very good.
25
Nomenclature Traditional nomenclature DepthClinical findingsExample Superficial thickness first degree Epidermis involvement ErythemaErythema, significant pain, lack of blisters Partial thickness – superficial second degree Superficial (papillary) dermisdermis Blisters, clear fluid, and pain Partial thickness – deep third degree Deep (reticular) dermis Whiter appearance or fixed red staining (no blanching), reduced sensation Full thicknessfourth degree* Epidermis, Dermis, and complete destruction to subcutaneous fat, eschar formation and minimal pain, requires skin grafts Charred or leathery, thrombosed blood vessels, insensate A description of the traditional and current classifications of burns.
27
A common disorder that occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the skin of the toe particularly on the big (great) toe. The corner of the nail curves down into the skin, often due to mis- trimming of the nail, or due to shoes that are too tight. An ingrown toenail can be painful and lead to infection.
28
The most common fungus infection of the nails is onychomycosis. Onychomycosis makes the nails look white and opaque, thickened, and brittle.
29
Baldness is the state of having no hair or lacking hair where it often grows, especially on the head. The most common form of baldness is a progressive hair thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or "male pattern baldness" that occurs in adult male humans.androgenic alopeciaadult
30
Aging of the Integument ● Skin repair processes take longer due to reduced number and activity of stem cells. ● Skin forms wrinkles and becomes less resilient. ● Skin’s immune responsiveness is diminished. ● Skin becomes drier due to decreased sebaceous gland activity. ● Altered skin and hair pigmentation.
31
Aging of the Integument Con’t. ● Sweat production diminishes. ● Blood supply to the dermis is reduced leading to impaired thermoregulation. ● Hair thinning and loss. ● Integumentary production of vitamin D3 diminishes. ● Development of skin cancers.

Lanugo is a fine, downy layer of hair that covers your baby's body while in the womb. It helps to hold the vernix in place.wombvernix Vernix, technically known as “Vernix Casoesa,” is a cheesy or waxy white substance that is found coating the skin of newborn babies. Vernix is secreted by the baby’s sebaceous glands while it is still in the uterus. Vernix is thought to protect the baby’s skin from the amniotic fluid surrounding it. Without the vernix, the baby’s skin would become wrinkly, much like regular human skin that has been in the water for too long. Some research has suggested that the vernix has antibacterial properties, and helps keep the unborn baby from infections. Milia are small white bumps on the skin of newborn babies, resulting from accumulations of sebaceous gland material.
