For those who do skin checks - what do you do with a kid who has a cold sore on his/her lip? This situation came up last year - my son was wrestling a kid at districts with a "lesion" on his lip. I didn't say anything but if it was herpes simplex virus type 1 - that is something that once you get it you'll have it the rest of your life. At least with ringworm you can get rid of it!
