It has been found that playing sport increases the risk of transmission of dermatological infections. This is not a general rule, but it is accurate statistics. The most common reason for this is the direct skin-to-skin contact that occurs. Sports where this is most frequent are rugby, wrestling and similar contact sport activities. Another reason is the constant sweating. This can cause maceration of the skin thus creating an entry point for infections. Sharing wet areas is another common way of transferring infections. In this case, it all begins with the feet. The contamination takes place in showers and swimming pools.
