Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a common fungal infection that appears on the skin. It is caused by various species of fungi called dermatophytes. These fungi thrive in warm and moist environments, making areas such as the skin, nails, and hair susceptible to infection.
Ringworm can be contracted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or object. The fungi responsible for ringworm are highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact, sharing contaminated personal items like towels or clothing, or even from the soil.
To diagnose and treat ringworm, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional such as a dermatologist. They can typically diagnose ringworm by examining the affected area and may perform additional tests like a skin culture or microscopic examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment usually involves topical antifungal medications such as creams, ointments, or powders for mild cases. In more severe or persistent cases, oral antifungal medication may be prescribed. Good hygiene practices, such as keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items, can help prevent the spread of ringworm.
