They may look good on you are comfortable, and it’s not like there aren’t people doing errands or picking up the kids in their athleisure wear. But the problem is that constantly wearing workout clothes such as yoga pants, leggings, and other athletic apparel can lead to some icky and unpleasant side effects.
Because workout wear is often tighter fighting, it has a tendency to hold warmth and moisture in. The body then becomes the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and flourish — a living Petri dish for microbes and organisms.
Disgusted yet? OK, hold on. If you wear your favorite yoga pants all day/every day, here’s somehealth issues that can develop.
1. Bacterial infections of the hair follicles
These infections can go from bad to worse pretty quickly and can be caused from the follicles rubbing against clothing or shaving. The first is Folliculitis, a superficial infection of a single hair follicle that looks like a bunch of small red bumps or white-head pimples, which can spread and turn into non-healing crusty sores.
Next, there are Furuncles/Boils, deeper infections of the hair follicle that look like a red, raised bumps on your skin but can rupture and weep fluid (gross). If you have a number of boils, you get a Carbuncle, which is deeper and more severe than the rest.
