Hi guys
I went to an Open Mat in my city the other day.
https://ibb.co/g7cQKyZ

I haven't rolled in about 3 months, I then did the open mat which was non stop sparring for 2 hours.
The next day my knees were extremely spotty and gross, all the hairs on my knees have turned into painful spots and I also have a rash on my inner thigh and a bit on my wrist.
I was wearing shorts and a short sleeve top when I roll.
I used to train a lot at this place but always suffered from itchy skin afterwards, unless I trained there literally every single day. As soon as I took a break for a few days the itching would come back.
It has been 4 days now and my knees are still itchy sore and gross.
They use this type jigsaw style mat and from my own thoughts it is likely that a lot of dirt would get trapped in the porous surface of the mat
Just wondering what you guys think? I would say I am "cleaner" than most people and use a loafer to exfoliate when I shower so I don't know if my skin is just freaking out because suddenly it is crazy dirty and dirty and sweat are being hammered into my pores.
Also I was thinking that Dolamur/Zebra or sheer mat surfaces like that are better because they are non porous and dirt does not get trapped in them the same way.
Thanks!
