Scrumpox

"Scrumpox", or "Herpes Gladiatorum", is an infection of the skin, caused by the herpes simplex virus. Its name comes from rugby, where players come into regular close contact with each other (particularly during the scrum), during which infected lesions can act as the vector through which the infection passes. However, the infection is not limited to players of rugby, and can be passed through any close skin contact, particularly also in wrestling.

Scrumpox resembles a rash with a cluster of blisters, often around the head and neck area. The infection can also be accompanied by lymphadenopathy (disease of the lymph nodes), fever, sore throat, and headache.
