Ringworm has a very distinctive appearance, and typically appears in the form of a ring-shaped, itchy rash that is slightly raised above the skin that surrounds it. Ringworm can also be found on some animals. Ringworm thrives in warm, moist areas and can be contracted from many sources, including but not limited to: Unclean locker rooms, clothing, showers, mats, and of course, skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals. It is typically red or brown around the edges with scaly, peeling skin throughout. One of the most common types of skin infections, ringworm appears on the skin as a raised circle or ring. When contracted on the feet, this infection is known as “athlete’s foot.” On the groin area, it’s called “jock itch.” The name is misleading, because there is no actual “worm” involved. Ringworm (Tinea corporis) is a type of fungal infection that can be contracted almost anywhere on the body.
