🏈 Calling all athletes and sports parents! We're seeing a lot of skin infections this week among high school athletes. 🤼
🔴 Impetigo: red sores that ooze and form a honey-colored crust, often around the nose and mouth, but it can show up anywhere
⭕ Tinea (ringworm): a red, itchy, ring-shaped rash. It's a fungus, not a worm!
Both spread through skin-to-skin contact and shared mats, towels and gear.
🚿 Shower right after practice
🧺 Don't share towels, razors or gear
👀 Check your skin often
Spot something? Walk in for a same-day check. Most athletes get treated and are back on the field in 24–48 hours, and we can help with any return-to-play forms. 🏆
💵 Office visits start at $75, cash-pay (we don't bill insurance)
