It is caused by a fungus.Anyone can develop ringworm. However, the infection is verycommon among children and people who own pet cats.You are more likely to develop ringworm if you come into contact with the fungi while you’re wet or if you have minor skininjuries or abrasions. Using a public shower or public pool areas may also expose you to the infective fungi.RingwormIf you’re often barefoot, you may develop ringworm of the feet.Those who share items such as hairbrushes or unwashed clothing also have an increased risk of developing the infection. TheFungi cause a parasitic infection which feeds on keratin. Keratin is found on the outer layers of skin, hair and nails. This parasitic infection flourishes in warm damp areas, which is whyringworm in humans is so common in areas of the scalp, footand groin regions.Symptoms include: 1) Red, itchy, scaly, or raised patches, 2) Patches that develop blisters or begin to ooze, 3)Patches that may be redder on the outside edges or resemble a ring, 4) Patches with edges that are defined andraised.If you suspect you may have ringworm, make an appointment with your Physician.
