Ringworm,
Dermatophytid, Tinea
Ringworm is a
skin infection caused by a fungus. Ringworm can affect skin on your body (tinea
corporis), scalp (tinea capitis), groin area (tinea cruris, also called jock
itch), or feet (tinea pedis, also called athlete's foot).
Often, there are
several patches of ringworm on your skin at once.
Causes,
- Ringworm is a common skin disorder, especially among children, but
it may affect people of all ages. Although its name suggests otherwise, it
is caused by a fungus, not a worm.
- Many bacteria and fungi live on your body. Some of these are useful
to you and your body. Others can multiply rapidly and form infections.
Ringworm occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies
anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails.
- Ringworm is contagious. It can be passed from one person to the
next by direct skin-to-skin contact or by contact with contaminated items
such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. You can
also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus. Cats are common
carriers.
- The fungi that cause ringworm thrive in warm, moist areas. Ringworm
is more likely when you have frequent wetness (such as from sweating) and
minor injuries to your skin, scalp, or nails.
Symptoms
The symptoms of
ringworm include:
- Itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. The
patches often have sharply-defined edges. They are often redder around the
outside with normal skin tone in the center. This may create the
appearance of a ring. Your skin may also appear unusually dark or light.
- When your scalp or beard is infected, you will have bald patches.
- If nails are infected, they become discolored, thick, and even
crumble.
To
prevent ringworm:
- Keep your skin and feet clean and dry.
- Shampoo regularly, especially after haircuts.
- Do not share clothing, towels, hairbrushes, combs, headgear, or
other personal care items. Such items should be thoroughly cleaned and
dried after use.
- Wear sandals or shoes at gyms, lockers, and pools.
- Avoid touching pets with bald spots.
- Wash sheets and nightclothes every day while infected.
- Infected pets also should be treated.
