I don't officiate kids, and haven't read the bylaws, but the concept should be the same as the HS rule. Any condition or mark or whatever is only an issue if the official has some good reason to believe the condition has not cleared up despite the doctor's "cleared to wrestle date." The 7 day deal has to only apply to suspicious situations. Some conditions, such as the one this gentleman mentions, leave marks. Other times kids have rug burns, scabs, or cuts, that's not what the rule is about. Generally, if the condition is "dry" and appears to be waning its not an issue. If its "wet" then there's going to be a problem and a note may or may not resolve the situation. I've seen kids with a perfectly "good" note not be allowed to wrestle. Doesn't happen often, but sometimes you have to make the call. Nobody likes to see a kid not get on the mat for any reason, but some of this skin stuff stays with you for life. My rule of thumb is that I don't want to take anything home to the family.....
I believe the "new" HS rules allow for an "annual" note for chronic, but not contagious, conditions.
That said, I would not rely upon common sense or the good graces of whoever is running the show and would make sure I had a current note for the post season, if I had any doubt.It doesn't do much good to be right on Sunday morning if your kid didn't wrestle on Saturday.
