Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Otitis externa

Answer: swimmer's ear

Water remaining in the ear after swimming can create a warm moist enviornment for bacteria. Swimmer's ear can also be caused by putting things like fingers, cotton swabs or other objects in your ear.
2. Tinea pedis

Answer: athlete's foot

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection usually found between the toes. The fungus often grows on damp surfaces like pool areas or locker rooms. Athlete's foot can also be caused by sweating or ill-fitting shoes.
3. Miliaria rubra

Answer: prickly heat

Prickly heat is simply blocked pores (sweat ducts) which trap perspiration under your skin. It can affect infants and adults (and everyone in between). It's usually found in skin folds where clothing causes friction. In infants, the rash is mainly found on the neck, shoulders and chest.
4. Folliculitis

Answer: inflammation of hair follicle

Inflammation of hair follicles can be caused by bacterial infection or skin irritation. Common types of folliculitis are also known as hot tub rash, razor bumps and barber's itch.
5. Atopic dermatitis

Answer: eczema

Eczema can occur at any age but is common in children. It can begin before the age of five and continue in adolescents and adults, in some cases, accompanied by asthma or hay fever.
6. Cercarial dermatitis

Answer: swimmer's itch

Swimmer's itch is a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to certain microscopic parasites. They're usually released from infected snails into fresh and salt water like lakes, ponds and oceans. Even though the parasite prefers a bird or mammal as a host, it can come in contact with a swimmer, burrow into the skin and cause an allergic reaction and rash.
7. Pediculus humanus capitis

Answer: head lice

Head lice are tiny insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. Usually affecting children, an infestation results from the direct transfer of lice from the hair of one person to the hair of another. Head lice don't carry bacterial or viral infectious diseases.
8. Molluscum contagiosum

Answer: water warts

Water warts are a fairly common viral infection of the skin. They are round, firm, painless bumps which range in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser. When scratched, the infection can spread to the surrounding area of skin. Molluscum contagiosum can also spread through person-to-person contact and contact with infected objects.
9. Coxsackie virus

Answer: hand, foot & mouth disease

Hand, foot & mouth Disease (HFM) is a common viral infection. It can cause painful red blisters in the mouth and throat, on the hands, feet and diaper area. HFM is contagious and can easily spread through contact with unwashed hands, feces, saliva, mucus or fluid from "weeping" blisters. Children under the age of five are at risk and infections are common in childcare centers, preschools and other places where kids are in close quarters.
10. Impetigo contagiosa

Answer: impetigo

AS the name implies, impetigo is a highly contagious, superficial skin infection commonly affecting children two to five years of age. It's caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus, and is a secondary skin infection of existing skin lesions, such as cuts, abrasions, insect bites or even chickenpox.

The sores usually occur around the nose and mouth but can be spread by fingers, clothing and towels.
