The third of this three‐part series on water‐related sports dermatoses discusses skin changes seen in athletes who participate in sporting activities on top of or nearby water. While also susceptible to several of the freshwater and saltwater dermatoses discussed in parts one and two of the series, these athletes may present with skin changes unique to their particular sports. This updated and comprehensive review details those near‐water dermatologic conditions commonly seen in sailors, rowers, fishermen, surfers, windsurfers, rafters, and water skiers, and will serve as a guide for dermatologists, sports medicine physicians and other medical practitioners in recognition and treatment of these conditions.
