  2. What is Ringworm (Body)? The ringworm of the body (tinea corporis) is a rash caused by a fungal infection. It is generally an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle. Ringworm gets its name due to its appearance. There are not any worms involved. Ringworm of the body is associated with athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis). Ringworm usually spreads by direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal. Mild ringworm usually responds to antifungal medications applied to the skin. For more severe infections, you might need to take antifungal pills for several weeks.

  3. Symptoms of Ringworm Signs and symptoms of ringworm might include: A scaly ring-shaped area, generally on the buttocks, trunk, arms, and legs Itchiness A clear or scaly area inside the ring, possibly with a scattering of bumps whose color ranges from red on white skin to reddish, purplish, brown, or gray on black and brown skin Slightly raised, expanding rings A round, flat patch of itchy skin Overlapping rings

  4. Causes of Ringworm Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection caused by common mold-like parasites that live on the cells of the outer layer of your skin. It could be spread in the following ways: Human to human - Ringworm usually spreads by direct, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Animal to human - You could contract ringworm by touching an animal with ringworm. Ringworm could spread while petting or grooming dogs or cats. It is also pretty common in cows. Object to human – It is possible for ringworm to spread by contact with objects or surfaces that an infected person or animal has recently touched or rubbed against, like clothes, towels, bedding and linens, combs, and brushes. Soil to humans - In rare cases, ringworm could be spread to humans by contact with infected soil. Infection would most likely happen only from prolonged contact with highly infected soil.
