A while ago I was diagnosed with "gladiator herpes" on my ear/neck. I got this virus from mma training. Anyways the doctor said I can't train anymore until it is all gone which would be 7-10 days. Today (Wednesday) would be the 9th day, and I am all out of meds and I am much better.

HOWEVER, I still have one scab left on my ear and I am wondering if this shit is still contagious. I have barely left the house (one time in 8 days) because I have been bored as hell. I want to train but I don't think this scab is going to completely go away for another week or so.

Does anyone know if this is contagious still? I know it would be selfish to train if it was and risk spreading this garbage, but if it isn't I want to go back today. Any doctors or med students here that could answer me? I'm all out of my meds for the virus but there is still a little scabbage....




Thanks...

if u still have signs of the sickness goto a Dr and see if it is in fact completely gone. chances are if ur meds ran out early u still have it.

It took me several times of reading this over to realize you meant puss as in an infection. LOL

This almost makes me glad I'm not grappling anymore and training only on striking.

I have never caught ANYTHING at my GI Jiu Jitsu School, 2 weeks into my no gi training at a different school I get this.




Moral of the story



GI > NO GI when it comes to ...um not getting viruses and the like
