First let me apologies for stating wrong form in original post, I did mean the IHSAA form. Second, it wasn't a big issue, it was a bug bite about the size of an eraser on the end of pencil. My son asked me to meet him at Redimed to rule/document it was not ringworm so he wouldn't have any issues over it at Sectionals. Thanks for all the feedback!!

Curious, how a wrestler can have a signed form from a Doctor stating this small red bump on his upper arm is not ringworm states it is "erythematous and is not contagious" and the head Ref for New Haven Sectionals won't let him wrestle because "he thinks it's ringworm". How can a ref overrule a Doctor? Especially at Sectionals, the event they train all season for and he was ranked in top 4 for. Being it was not ringworm the official ISWA form was not filled out (didn't need to be). Ref commented "IF, it had been on that form he MIGHT have considered it but he still thinks it's ringworm". This spot was examined on Wednesday, January 28, 72 hours prior to this event. How can a ref with no medical training override a Doctor? Just looking for comments or advice
