(this is behind my thigh)the one on the left started out like a patch of dried skin and i started scratching some of it off. two days later it look likes that in the pic. i just thought it was caused by the cold weather and that it would go away.

the one the right i just found today which looked like a pimple which i just popped.

this is another picture close up of the pimple i popped.


so sherbros whats your assessment and will this be cured by anti bacterial soap or should i just go straight to the dermatologist
 
one on the left looks like ring worm

go to a Dr, minute clinic, or urgent care. Stay off the mats until confirmed.
 
The one with edges is DEFINITELY ringworm, the other could be staph but also may not be. Go to the Dr regardless if it continues to grow/look worse.
 
Also, be a good training partner and stick to what the Dr says in regards to how long you are contagious for. I think its usually 2 weeks or so, even if it looks like its improving.

Dont think that bc its not itching as bad, or not spreading, or no increasing in size that its getting better and that you cant spread it, bc you def can

above and beyond would be telling anyone you recently rolled with you got the funk, just so they can thoroughly check themselves for any rashes, clean mats and gear, etc... you dont want to be the reason for a full blown outbreak
 
thanks for the help guys, will schedule dr appt asap
 
Buy some lamasil.
Left is ringworm, right is a pimple that could develop into staph if you don't take care of it
 
And for God's sake don't squeeze it if you think it's a pimple, you don't want a wound where surface bacteria/other things could get in.
 
You don't fuck around with ringworm like that. Go to the dr. The other one may be staph. I've had it and the dr can confirm. Little bumps like that could be AIDS though.
 
Make sure the mats get mopped with bleach. If you got ringworm, everyone is going to get ringworm, and you're going to get it again from them.
