Ringworm or Tinea corporis is a fungal infection that develops under the top layer of the skin. This infection is contagious and can be spread through direct contact with others. Despite the name, there are no real worms involved.

&nbsp;
Ringworm can affect the feet, scalp, or nails. When it is on the foot, it is called athlete's foot, and the rash is patchy. In fact, the rashes a patient can see may not be round at all - they may look like scaly, red patches. Ringworm of the scalp appears like a small sore that develops into patchy, scaly, flaky spots. The infection can result in hair breakage. It can also cause the scalp to be swollen and red. Ringworm on the nails can affect one or more nails. The nails turn yellow and brittle. The nail ringworm can develop after puberty.

&nbsp;
If the rash doesn't fade in a week, you should see a doctor to get anti-fungal medications to treat the infection.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.
