Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis or tinea, is a fungal infection of the skin. The name âringwormâ is a misnomer, since the infection is caused by a fungus, not a worm. Ringworm infection can affect both humans and animals.
Itâs called âringwormâ because it can cause a circular rash (shaped like a ring) that is usually red and itchy. Anyone can get ringworm. The fungi that cause this infection can live on skin, surfaces, and on household items such as clothing, towels, and bedding.
