Question 25 • Sports Medicine 1b

Martha has been diagnosed with sea bather’s eruption. What symptom MOST likely led to this diagnosis?

Answer
A
warts on the hands
B
green or damaged hair
C
blister-like nodules
D
flaky skin on the feet

Explanation

Sea bather’s eruption is caused by tiny marine organisms trapped against the skin, often under a swimsuit. It typically produces an itchy rash with raised, blister-like bumps or nodules, so blister-like nodules best fit the diagnosis. Warts, damaged hair, and flaky feet are not typical symptoms.
