“…In most cases the diver reacts to some chemical used in the production of the rubber or neoprene material of the suit. Sensitizing agents have included n,ndiethylthiourea, 21-23 dibutylthiourea, 23 diphenylthiourea, 24 para-tertiary-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin, 25 or ethyl butylthiourea. 26,27 These agents have been used as rubber accelerators or occasionally as glues to attach nylon linings.…”

Allergic contact eczema is the most common occupational skin disease caused by allergens. Thus far, no research has been conducted in Poland in relation to the development of contact allergies amongst divers resulting from particular diving suit components. A group of 86 divers were examined using allergy patch tests. Standard products of contact allergy diagnostics were used containing 40 allergens.

“…Swim cap dermatitis may result from contact sensitivity to mercaptobenzothiazole (Cronin & Rubber, 1980). Other components of swim gear that may elicit a contact allergy include diphenylthiourea, para-tertiary-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin and ethyl butylthiourea found in swim suits, as well as Tego103G, a disinfectant of wet suits (Boehncke et al, 1997;Munro et al, 1989;Nagashima et al, 2003;Reid et al, 1993).

IntroductionAquatic sport dermatoses include a variety of skin conditions that occur in athletes who participate in sporting activities in or on the water. Chemicals and microbes inhabiting the aquatic environment are often responsible for the development of these cutaneous conditions. We review common water sports dermatoses and divide them based on activities that occur in saltwater, freshwater and activities outside the water. Some of the water sports represented in the review include swimming, diving, scuba diving, snorkeling and water polo which are mainly based in the water, as well as sailing, rowing, fishing, surfing, whitewater rafting and water-skiing which are based on the water and outside the water. Aquatic sports dermatoses are presented according to their etiology including infectious and organism-related, contact dermatitis and miscellaneous causes. We also describe conditions specifically associated with water sports including sailing, rowing, fishing and surfing. This comprehensive review focuses on the key recognizable clinical features and principles of management of aquatic sports dermatoses. Our aim is to help sports medicine physicians, dermatologists and other health care providers recognize and treat water sport dermatoses in athletes.
