You guys are correct, the officials would like nothing better than to NOT have to do skin checks, however it is their responsibility, and like you said, if they see a spot that looks like a skin condition they question it. I have seen kids cover the spots with gauze and tape, use sand paper ect. We do get second opinion and seek out professional help if it is available. However, it is the coaches responsibility to have a doctor's form properly signed and dated when the wrestler can return to competition. Without the form and without profession opinion, the wrestler with the questionable skin condition must not be allowed to wrestle especially this time of year coming into post season.
