What are the symptoms that you have a ringworm?
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis) is not caused by a worm; it is actually the result of a fungus. The fungus causes a superficial skin infection, which leaves a circular ring-like patch on the infected skin. They skin becomes red, slightly raised, blister-like, scaly, and itchy; there will also be some drainage, which helps it too spread easily. Ringworm is quite common in children, but any one of any age can develop a case of ringworm; animals can also be infected with ringworm. It can affect any part of the body from the bottom of your feet to the top of your scalp. Ringworm's most obvious symptom is its red, round, circular patch which shows-up on the skin or the round, circular bald patch which shows-up on your scalp, especially since it tends to cause the hair to fall out.
