Rashes Description Rashes are caused by various problems, some of which can be prevented or treated. Common causes include moisture, friction, heat, cold, sunlight, infections, allergies, and certain medications. Many of these conditions can be prevented by keeping skin dry, clean, and protected. Rashes that result from moisture include pitted keratolysis, jock itch, athlete’s foot, and folliculitis. Moisture from sweat allows proliferation of certain skin organisms that result in these infections. Friction, on the other hand, can cause chafing and resultant painful, irritated skin. One example is that of jogger’s nipples, which result from the irritation of a uniform or jersey rubbing over the nipples during prolonged runs. The result of friction on weight-bearing areas is blistering, such as on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands. Infections commonly seen in sports are herpes, ringworm, and impetigo, all of which are easily spread in contact sports such as wrestling. The external environment, both sunny and cold, can result in dry skin, sunburn, and frostbite.
