Although this infection's name "ringworm" refers to the distinctive circular sores it develops, there are other signs of ringworm as well. In addition to burning and redness on your scalp, face, genitals, trunk, and limbs, ringworm can cause scaling, itching, burning, and burning on all of these areas. By understanding how ringworm spreads, you may prevent yourself and others from catching this excruciating infection. Ringworm can be transferred by skin-to-skin contact, contacting an infected animal, or by touching an infected surface.1) Ringworm is a fungal infection, not a worm:Any portion of the body can be affected by the skin condition known as ringworm. The neck, head, and legs are where it most frequently occurs. If you have a compromised immune system, it may potentially spread to other bodily parts. Ringworm is treated by taking antifungal medications and avoiding contact with those who have the condition. While mild cases will usually clear up in two weeks, severe cases may take up to six months or more to resolve. It's not contagious, which is wonderful news!
