Seabather's Eruption

摘要

SBE should not be confused with swimmer's itch; the latter is limited to exposed areas of the body after bathing in freshwater and has a worldwide distribution. Removal of swimwear while taking a shower after sea water exposure, and symptomatic treatment helps alleviate cutaneous complaints. Physicians, especially those serving in coastal areas, ought to be aware of this self-resolving, yet bothersome dermatitis to ensure prompt identification and treatment.
