Ringwormringworms

Ringworm is an infection which is caused by a fungus which lives and multiplies on the outer layer of the skin.  It is not a worm or a parasite of any kind. 

The most common forms of the fungi are Trichophyton rubrum, which is spread from person to person, and Microsporum canis, which is spread by dogs and cats.  Microsporum canis is not as common, but it does cause ma more serious infection. 

The fungus are nearly everywhere, but they grown well in moist, warm areas such as swimming pools and locker rooms.  Ringworm is spread by sharing contaminated clothing, towels or sports equipment.

You should be able to treat ringworm with over-the-counter antifungal creams or ointments such as Lamisil, Lotrimin, Micatin, Monistat or Tinactin.
