This is for every one on the crew. Now this part pertains more to specific medical issues and is appropriate to and for the Doc on board. I'll discuss first the medical needs from the past voyages, then the medical kit, some preventive measures and helpful hints learned over time, and fina lly some emergency procedures. Folliculitis, particularly on hairy guys, is the most encountered complaint. Fortunately it is a minor problem and is easily treated with Mycolog cream.
Sunburn is prominent the first week at sea.
First degree burns are common, but second degree blistering is not uncommon. Sun screen helps prevent burn if the crew will use it. Tinea of every variety show up with surprising frequency and Lotrimin works well. Dry, cracked skin occurs often enough to be a problem. Any of the dermal creams and lip balms work well.
