Ringworm is a fungal infection that is caused by a type of fungus called tinea. It usually lives on your skin’s dead tissues, hair, and nails. This skin condition leads to a red, scaly, itchy patch on your skin which over time takes the shape of a ring. This is why it is known as ringworm’. This infection is most likely to happen anywhere on your skin, including your face.

What are the symptoms of ringworms?

One of the main symptoms which come with ringworm includes red, itchy, and scaly skin. Here are some other signs of fungal infection.

  • A ring-shaped rash and overlapping rings
  • Scalp ringworm can cause scarring or permanent hair loss
  • Blister-like lesions and itching
  • Patches that develop blisters or pustules
  • Hairless patches of skin that appear circular

What are the causes of ringworms?

As mentioned above ringworm is a contagious infection and can easily spread by these reasons.

  • Skin-to-skin contact like hugs or handshakes with people who are suffering from this skin condition.
  • Sharing objects such as brushes or combs.
  • Coming in contact with animals or pets such as dogs and cats who are infected.
  • Exposure to Dermatophytes i.e. skin fungi

What are the treatments for ringworms?

In most cases, ringworms don’t last over a few weeks. However, it is recommended that you visit your doctor for an examination. Dermatologists may prescribe antifungal medications which include Lotrimin cream, Cruex spray powder, Mycelex, Pedesil (clotrimazole) Desenex topical powder, Fungoid cream, and Micatin cream. In case, you couldn’t find these medicines during the current lockdown, you may try a few natural remedies.
