To examine the role of a comprehensive skin disease prevention protocol in conjunction with the use of a barrier cream to prevent tinea corporis (ringworm) in collegiate wrestlers.
We studied a college wrestling team for 16 weeks during 1 season. During the first 8 weeks, no preventive measures were taken. For the remaining 8 weeks, wrestlers were randomized into 2 groups and used either a barrier or a placebo.
Twenty-two male college wrestlers with a mean age of 20.4 years (range, 18.1 to 23.2), a mean weight of 68.4 kg (range, 55.8 to 130.2), and a mean height of 177.8 cm (range, 168.7 to 186.9).
We performed skin checks daily. All new or exacerbated lesions were clinically diagnosed by the same team physician and recorded.
Cases of tinea corporis declined from 10 diagnosed before initiation of the protocol to 1 after the protocol was initiated. One athlete in the placebo group was found to have tinea corporis versus none in the barrier cream group.
Strict adherence to the prevention protocol for skin infections significantly decreased the number of cases of tinea corporis. The use of the barrier cream in conjunction with the prevention protocol did not result in any further statistical reduction in the number of wrestlers who contracted tinea corporis.
研究综合皮肤病预防方案联合使用屏障乳膏预防大学生摔跤运动员体癣（股癣）的作用。
我们在 1 个赛季的 16 周内对 1 个大学摔跤队进行了研究。在前 8 周，没有采取预防措施。在后 8 周，摔跤手被随机分为 2 组，分别使用屏障乳膏或安慰剂。
22 名男性大学生摔跤手，平均年龄 20.4 岁（范围 18.1 至 23.2），平均体重 68.4 公斤（范围 55.8 至 130.2），平均身高 177.8 厘米（范围 168.7 至 186.9）。
我们每天进行皮肤检查。所有新发或恶化的病变均由同一位队医进行临床诊断并记录。
在实施预防方案之前，确诊的股癣病例从 10 例下降到 1 例。在安慰剂组中，有 1 名运动员被发现患有股癣，而在屏障乳膏组中则没有。
严格遵守皮肤感染预防方案可显著减少股癣的病例数。在预防方案中联合使用屏障乳膏并未导致感染股癣的摔跤手数量进一步显著减少。
