Ringworm and staph infections are common. Eating disorders due to weight cutting are too. Try to discourage the weight cutting and perhaps help him maintain his walking around weight close to his competition weight later on if he sticks with it. Misery loves company. If my old man cleaned up our diet as much as I had to during season I would probably not have had to yo-yo so much. Wrestling was absolutely one of the best things I ever did to build discipline and work ethic. I think most martial arts teach the same values.
