How To Avoid Failing a Skin Check
1. SHOWER - immediately after wrestling practices or meets.
2. WASH - your wrestling practice clothes regularly (daily is preferred).
3. SPRAY - your skin with a product such as KS skin protectant before wrestling.
4. WALK - on wrestling mat only with wrestling shoes (not the shoes you wear outdoors).
5. TREAT - the skin infection at the earliest sign of occurrence.
6. SEEK - the help of a dermatologist if the skin infection does not clear soon.
7. WRESTLE - only if you are free from skin infections or are able to have them covered.
8. WATCH - for signs of skin infection frequently (have someone check areas you can’t see).
9. LEARN - how to protect yourself.
10. RESPECT - those performing the skin checks at meets, they are there to ensure the safety of all wrestlers.
