“…Rubbing, friction, sweating and ill-fitting sportswear trigger skin irritation, bleeding, discomfort and local pain during physical activities. Reduction in body weight improves acanthosis nigricans (1,2,30,37,43,48,49).…”

“…This condition affects both healthy and obese individuals and is usually associated with acanthosis nigricans, endocrine diseases or personal characteristics of unknown etiology. Friction, rubbing and trauma due to sport, as well as scratching, can cause inflammation of the lesions and changes in color and size, and need to be examined by a physician in order to be differentiated from other dermatoses (1,2,29,31,36,37,43,58).…”

“…It is a multifactorial response to the excessive and repetitive overload to the plantar aspect of the heel may represent a risk of development of foot injuries. This condition is usually associated with calluses, fissures, infections and gait disorders, which limits physical activity (1,2,25,30,37).…”

“…Laboratory tests show that a reduction in sex-hormone-binding-globulin levels (SHBG) and elevated total and/or free testosterone levels lead to hirsutism symptoms (32), acne and androgenic alopecia. Hirsute women usually show a reserved attitude, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, and reduced willingness to perform simple everyday tasks or exercise (1,33,37,59). The presence of acne, associated or not with polycystic ovary syndrome, may worsen patients' perception of the disease, their symptoms, functionality and emotions (1,4,43).…”

“…Studies have shown that skin disorders in obese individuals can vary in severity, prevalence and response to treatment. They are caused by changes in the skin surface pattern (keratosis pilaris, stretch marks, xanthomas, acrochordons, gynecomastia) (2,(29)(30)(31); hyperandrogenism and hyperinsulinemia (acanthosis nigricans, acne, hirsutism, androgenetic alopecia) (20,(32)(33)(34)(35); increased prevalence of infection (candidiasis, dermatophytosis, folliculitis, furuncles, erythrasma, erysipelas, cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis) (14,(36)(37)(38); decreased venous return (chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, stasis dermatitis and delayed healing of wounds) (13,36). They are also associated with the occurrence of ingrown toenails, keratodermas and calluses on the feet (14,25); and worsening in the severity of psoriasis (39)(40)(41)(42), seborrhea (43)(44) and diabetes symptoms (4,23,35,45).…”

Objective : The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the major skin diseases affecting obese individuals and their influence on physical activity. Methods : Relevant articles were identified by systematically searching PubMed from 2000 to 2014, using the descriptors "skin diseases" and "obesity", "skin disease" and "obesity", "skin diseases" and "physical activity", "skin disease" and "physical activity". The PEDro Scale (in Brazilian Portuguese) was used to rate the methodological quality of the studies. Results : A total of 320 articles were examined in the first phase. In the end, 11 articles met the proposed criteria and were included for analysis in the systematic review. We investigated cutaneous manifestations of diseases and classified them according to their effects under 5 categories: metabolic (n = 10), aesthetic (n = 7), inflammatory (n = 6), mechanical (n = 5) and infectious (n = 3). The most frequent dermatoses among obese were acanthosis nigricans, acrochordon (skin tags), stretch marks, plantar keratodermia, intertrigo, bacterial and fungal infections. Acanthosis nigricans was found to be the most important metabolic implication of obesity. Conclusion : Although neglected, skin lesions are common in obesity and have implications for physical activity because they cause pain, discomfort, friction, infection, inflammation, embarrassment, limitation or difficulty of movement. Strategies to promote skin health may result in a better integration of physical activity into routine therapy and improve the quality of life of obese individuals.

In vivo study of dermal collagen of striae distensae by confocal Raman spectroscopy

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research work mainly deals with studying qualitatively the changes in the dermal collagen of two forms of striae distensae (SD) namely striae rubrae (SR) and striae albae (SA) when compared to normal skin (NS) using confocal Raman spectroscopy. The methodology includes an in vivo human skin study for the comparison of confocal Raman spectra of dermis region of SR, SA, and NS by supervised multivariate analysis using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to determine qualitatively the changes in dermal collagen. These groups are further analyzed for the extent of hydration of dermal collagen by studying the changes in the water content bound to it. PLS-DA score plot showed good separation of the confocal Raman spectra of dermis region into SR, SA, and NS data groups. Further analysis using loading plot and S-plot indicated the participation of various components of dermal collagen in the separation of these groups. Bound water content analysis showed that the extent of hydration of collagen is more in SD when compared to NS. Based on the results obtained, this study confirms the active involvement of dermal collagen in the formation of SD. It also emphasizes the need to study quantitatively the role of these various biochemical changes in the dermal collagen responsible for the variance between SR, SA, and NS.

Relationship between obesity and other risk factors and skin disease among adult Saudi population

Abstract: Our study linked incidence of acanthosis nigricans and striae distensae to obesity in both female and male adult population but showed sex difference for other skin diseases, which raised many questions and requires further longer duration follow-up studies.
