Simone Biles discusses skin health diagnosis and 2028 Olympics

American gymnast Simone Biles has revealed she is managing chronic skin conditions, having been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis and eczema. Biles shared that she suffered from intense itching and scaling for years, noting that the symptoms became particularly difficult during her preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics. She is now participating in the ‘Skin to Believe’ campaign alongside Dr. Angela J. Lamb and Arcutis to raise awareness about inflammatory skin diseases and the importance of seeking professional medical treatment.

Separately, Biles remains undecided regarding her participation in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. While the prospect of competing on home soil is a significant factor, she is weighing the physical demands and personal life changes that come with elite training at age 31. Key considerations include her reproductive health and the potential impact on her ability to start a family with her husband, Jonathan Owens.
