| Popis: | Skin infections are an important issue among participants in expedition-length adventure races. Prolonged stress, scant sleep, and water exposure mean that competitors are at risk of uncommon manifestations of infections. Ulcerative tinea pedis is an example of this. We present a case with characteristic clinical manifestations, including the "sandpaper symptom." There is limited literature exploring infectious foot complaints in expedition adventure racers. Beyond this case report, more research is needed to better understand incidence rates, risk factors, diagnostic measures, treatment, and prevention options. |
