Splash with care
The increasing popularity of aquatic leisure activities has brought into prominence a wide variety of water related
dermatoses. People in general, especially school-going kids, are not always conversant with the hazards associated with swimming. The health benefits of swimming are wonderful. However, the very things put in water to protect us from infection are responsible for some adverse effects on our
