From yeast infections, to ringworm, to breaking out in a rash, the tight-fitting garment can lead to a number of nasty symptoms.
Director of research in dermatology, Josh Zeichner from Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, believes that wearing the skin-tight garment leads to body oils building up.
Lack of breathability and sweat are often cited as the causes of fungal infections, such as ringworm.
Gym bottoms, which are typically made from a blend of lycra and spandex, create warm and moist conditions on the body.
The stifling environment makes female leggings lovers more likely to contract yeast infections.
Doctor Zeichner also warns leggings wearers that the tightly fitting clothes could cause cracked skin and rashes.
Although the medical professor isn’t encouraging people to lay down their leggings for good, he doesn’t advise wearing them for long periods of time.
Purchasing baggier bottoms, or tight-fitting options that are made from more breathable material, will reduce the likelihood of experiencing these symptoms.
