What is the cause of Ringworm ?

Ringworm is produced by a group of fungi called dermatophytes which consists of:

1. Epidermphyton,
2. Trichophyton and
3. Microsporum.

The fungal infection is mildly infectious.
It can spread by direct contact with the infected skin and scalp of infected persons, lesions on animals especially cats, contaminated floors and furniture.
Ringworm can passed easily from one person to another
Fungi are germs that can grow on the dead cells of the nails, hair, and outer layers of the skin.
Tinea corporis is produced by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes.
Tinea corporis is frequent in children, but can happen in people of all ages.
Fungi grow in warm, moist areas.

A tinea infection tends to be present in a patient who:

1. Has wet skin for a long time (such as from sweating)
2. Has minor skin and nail injuries
3. Do not bathe or wash the hair often
4. Has close contact with other people (such as in sports like wrestling)

Tinea corporis can infect easily.

A person can catch it if he or she comes into direct contact with an area of ringworm on someone's body.

A patient can also get it by touching items that have the fungi on them, such as:

1. Clothing
2. Combs
3. Pool surfaces
4. Shower floors and walls
