    TLDR Sports can worsen or improve skin conditions.
    The document discussed the dual role of sports as both a risk factor and a therapeutic principle in dermatology. It highlighted that athletes are exposed to environmental factors like temperature, radiation, and allergens, which can contribute to skin diseases. Acute injuries, chronic damage, and infections from viruses, bacteria, or fungi, often due to close contact or shared facilities, were noted as risks. The use of performance-enhancing substances could lead to skin changes such as androgenetic alopecia and acne. Preexisting conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo might worsen with sports. However, the therapeutic potential of sports was underutilized, with positive effects observed in chronic skin conditions like atopic eczema and psoriasis, improving quality of life and reducing emotional disturbances.
