M C is correct, it's called molluscum contagiosum. If you have only a few of them it's relatively safe to 'pop' them yourself but it's always better to go to the doc where sterile instruments can be used. The white ball that you talked about is the contagious part. This problem is common in wrestlers because they are coming in close contact with each other. Somebody on your team spread this to you and they need to be treated because they can spread pretty quick. If you are going to a wrestling match, you will be checked out for this condition prior to your match and if a jugde sees this on you, you can be disqualified so get it in check as soon as possible.

You better hope its not MRSA - Medication Resistant Staph Infection. You need to see a doctor and get on some serious antibiotics. It is highly contagious and you could pass it to other wrestlers. That is probably how you got it in the first place.

It's actually a parasite that lives on an unclean mat. You need to tell your coach so he can come up with a way to better disinfect the mat. As for you, check out a dematologists to make sure all are removed. When I was in high school I had them toofrom the mats! MOLLUSCA is the name

Who cares what its called! Go to the Dr, espically if you *know* its a virus, you need to work on getting rid of it (if you can) and learn how to NOT spread it to others. This is a serious thing, you could spread it to others, it can spread to different parts of your body, your face...ew. Get to the Dr's fast....
