Hello everyone,
I recently have started practicing for my hockey team. Bought some new equipment a few weeks ago, such as a hockey shell, girdle, shin guards, and elbow pads (girdle, shin, and elbow pads were used which I bought at Play It again Sports). Two weeks ago I developed a large pimple on the back of my leg. It started to get real big and black/blue. Apparently, it was a large cyst which the doctors had to take out. This was the week right after my first hockey practice (developed a few days after the first practice).
A few days ago, I noticed another large pimple growing, and it was about an inch away from my other cyst (which is now basically a scab). Went to the doctor, got prescription for it, and the doctor put in an acculture for it. The doctor said it may be MRSA but is not sure yet.
Question is, would this be a direct cause of my equipment? So far the only thing I have done is take out all of my equipment and let it air dry for 3 days or so after every practice.
Thanks!
