At least one wrestler a year at my high school used to get this. It is extremely common for wrestlers

I garunteed you, the coaches were not cleaning the mats but once a week.

Wouldnt the herpes be in the entire body? I didn't know it was localized. Thought certain types affected different areas of the skin?

So all those face in sweaty crotch positions didn't contribute at all I guess?

That kid needs to quit complaining. Anyone who's ever wrestled has had some kind of skin infection at one point or another. We discovered a pretty nasty ring worm infection on a buddy after shaving his head, over the next 24 hours we were all covered in the shite.

His ears look pretty good though, so he's got that going for him.

They don't spray the mats with Lysol or something similar?

Pretty sure that's impossible, and that doesn't look like herpes.



Amazing that some of you can remember to breath

Yeah, you'd think they would wipe it down after every round/match or whatever you call it.

Butt dragging is a real thing. Anyone who's ever wrestled competitively has either had a finger in their arse, or had their own finger in someone else's arse. If they try and tell you otherwise, they are full of shite.
