Ringworm thrives in warm, moist areas and can be contracted from many sources, including but not limited to: Unclean locker rooms, clothing, showers, mats, and of course, skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals. Herpes simplex (Simplexvirus) is a viral infection that can be classified into two separate categories: Type I and II. Although there are several types of herpes that can be contracted in wrestling, Herpes gladiatorum is the most common, earning the name “Mat Herpes” or “Wrestler’s Herpes.” The herpes virus is most commonly spread through contact with the infected area on an individual, or any fluid or saliva that is produced from it.
The herpes virus infects open cuts and sores, and it may take several days or weeks for herpes symptoms to become visible. Fluid-filled blisters are characteristic of the herpes virus, and after a few days these blisters typically flatten out and become yellowish-brown scabs.
This infection may be spread by skin-to-skin contact, or by using facilities and equipment (wrestling mats especially) where the bacterium is present.
To correctly determine the type of herpes (if any) and course of action, your doctor will most likely take samples from the skin or blood to examine further.
