Abstract des Autors
This article describes the treatment and prevention of the most common skin problems in wrestling. Infections are treated with bactericidal soap and antibiotics, and infected wrestlers should not have contact with teammates or the mat until the infection heals. Scabies is treated with crotamiton or gamma benzene hexachloride. Abrasions should be cleaned and protected with sterile pads, and lacerations should be closed with butterflies and sutured after the match. Ice should be applied immediately to contusions, and after the pain has subsided, local heat may speed absorption of the hematoma. Prevention includes keeping the mat clean, using proper hygiene, and wearing protective equipment. Verf.-Referat
