ABRASIONS FROM SWIM SUITS AND SUPPORTERS
The skin may be abraded or rubbed raw by tight, wet or salty swimsuits or athletic supporters. This usually results from prolonged wearing of such items during active periods. Salt water and sand increases the chafing considerably because of the presence of fine, abrasive grains.
Treatment and Prevention
Treatment of these abrasions is the same as that for ordinary abrasions: thorough cleansing is the prime goal. Nylon briefs dry more rapidly and are less abrasive than other materials. Wet swimsuits should be changed as soon as 'possible, especially if they are salty or sandy.
