Unpleasant Skin Infections Easily Contacted At The Gym

There are different skin conditions you can easily contact at the gym.

  The reason are your gym mates after the exercise can leave some drop of sweats which could cause other fungai and bacteria..

Some of the skin conditions are:

- RINGWORM: Ringworm is shaped like a ring but it’s not actually a worm.
It’s actually a fungal infection that hits the top layers of your skin,forming a circular, red ring.

It might have an itch, but other than the visible rash, it doesn’t produce any other symptoms.

It can show up anywhere on your body, but typically you’ll find it on your torso, upper arms, or thighs. Infection is more likely to occur if you have minor cuts or openings in your skin,but you can still pick it up simply from coming in close contact with a contaminated item—say, by resting your arms or legs on a mat that wasn’t wiped down.

-ATHLETE’S FOOT: Athlete’s foot is a type of ringworm that develops on your feet, The first sign of athlete’s foot is typically an itch around the soles of your feet, and dry, cracked skin between your toes.

-Staph:

This infection can be transmitted via open cuts and sores on the body, or by sharing your towel or working out on a dirty floor mat.

- PLANTAR WARTS: Are caused by humanp apilloma virus (HPV)—look like small, skin-colored bumps speckled with little black dots.

Plantar warts can be contracted by using contaminated gym equipment,another reason to keep those wipes at the ready.

Since the virus thrives in moist places, like athlete’s foot, you can also pick it up by walking barefoot in the locker room.
