“…Cutaneous adverse events can occur in participants of aquatic sports [1]. The causative activity can be located either at a pool or on the beach or in the water [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. A 27-year-old man who developed beach feet (hot sand-associated superficial thermal burns on the soles of his feet and the plantar aspects of his toes after running with his dog on the beach) is described, and other beach sports-related dermatoses are summarized.…”

Athletes may develop sports-related dermatoses. Indeed, participants of aquatic-associated sports can experience dermatologic conditions that affect their feet when they play barefooted on the beach. These disorders are variable in etiology and include traumatic injury to the unprotected feet and toes, penetration of organisms (such as hookworm larva and schistosomiasis cercaria) into the feet and toes, and ultraviolet radiation-related maladies such as an acute phototoxic reaction (sunburn) and thermal injury from contact with hot sand. Indeed, exposure to hot sand can result in first-degree, second-degree or rarely third-degree burns. A 27-year-old man developed painful erythematous patches on the plantar feet and toes after running barefoot on the sand during a hot August afternoon on a dog beach in Del Mar, California. To emphasize both the injury-causing environment and the affected location, beach sand-associated thermal injury to the soles of the feet and the plantar aspects of the toes is referred to as beach feet.

“…There is an established relationship between swimming and otitis externa. The incidence of otitis externa is five times greater in swimmers than in non‐swimmers and strongly associated with diving . Freshwater lake exposure is associated with developing otitis externa (OR, 15.5, 95% CI, 4.9‐49.2) and a dose‐response relationship was found in a 1995 case‐control study .…”

Objectives There is a lack of consensus for the management of otitis externa. In addition to looking at seasonal trends surrounding otitis externa, this article also reviews a collection of local and international guidelines on the management of this condition. Design Retrospective case audit of clinician‐diagnosed otitis externa at the Hedland Health Campus over 18 months. Review of 2007‐2017 evidence‐based guidelines relevant to area of practice. Setting Hedland Health Campus Emergency Department in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia. Participants Two‐hundred‐thirty‐six otitis externa cases in 193 individuals were seen by our service. Main outcome measured Number of otitis externa presentations each month. Result Nine guidelines were reviewed, which varied widely in recommendations. An overrepresentative proportion of patients identified as either Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. There was a strong positive correlation between the monthly rainfall and otitis externa, moderate correlation between higher monthly minimum temperatures and no correlation with maximum temperature. Given the variety of guidelines available, it was difficult to assess whether prescribing was always consistent with guidelines. Conclusion This research makes evidence‐based suggestions for Australian practitioners. Patients should be treated with oral analgesia, ear toileting and targeted topical therapy. There is no evidence for swabs, ear wicks and oral antibiotics. The authors hypothesise that re‐presentation rates might be in part attributable to freshwater pseudomonal infection.

“…Microciona prolifera (red moss sponge) may cause immediate stinging, burning, and erythema due to the effect of the crinotoxin The use of adhesive tape is recommended for spicule removal, while acetic acid compresses followed by topical steroids aid in treating the effects of the crinotoxins. 32,33…”

<p class="keywords">Vinegar is widely available as a food ingredient for flavouring and as a preservative. It is one of the oldest skin remedy known to mankind. However, its status in treatment regimens has declined over the decades. This article is an attempt to highlight its therapeutic armamentarium in dermatology, venereology and leprosy. Acetic acid in vinegar has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. This review talks about various studies of acetic acid for various indications, such as screening for cervical cancer, healing of chronic wounds, atopic dermatitis, onychomycosis, marine dermatoses, acne vulgaris, warts, in sclerotherapy and many others dermatoses. Combination therapies and newer indications are also described in this article. Recently, its antiviral action in vitro has been demonstrated against the ongoing coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.</p>
