  • Summary

  • Ringworm, despite its name, is a fungal infection of the skin caused by dermatophytes. It is highly contagious and spreads through direct contact with infected individuals, animals, or objects. Symptoms include red, scaly patches, itchiness, and hair loss. Treatment involves antifungal medications, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding scratching. Prevention measures include maintaining good hygiene, wearing sandals in public showers, and limiting contact with infected pets. While most cases can be treated with over-the-counter medications, persistent infections or concerns about complications should be addressed by a healthcare professional.
