Shower and wash training gear as soon as possible following any and all training sessions.
Skin issues are a common but serious part of any martial art. It is especially important in grappling arts like BJJ to be able to recognize issues like staph and MRSA and consult your physician for further assistance. If you suspect a staph infection, get medical attention immediately. These fast spreading illnesses can be fatal if ignored.
