Understanding Ringworm
Ringworm, despite its name, is not caused by worms but by fungi. It presents as a circular, red rash with raised edges and a clear center. Ringworm can affect the skin on various parts of the body, including the scalp, body, groin, feet, and nails.
Causes of Ringworm
Ringworm is primarily caused by dermatophytes, a group of fungi. It can spread through:
- Direct Contact: Skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal.
- Indirect Contact: Sharing personal items like towels, clothing, or sports equipment.
- Environmental Exposure: Contact with contaminated surfaces or soil.
