Ringworm:

A highly contagious, fungal infection of the skin or scalp.

Ringworm is spread by skin-to-skin contact or by touching an infected animal or object. It's usually an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle. Ringworm gets its name because of its appearance.

Signs and symptoms of ringworm may include:

  • A scaly ring-shaped area, typically on the buttocks, trunk, arms and legs
  • Itchiness
  • A clear or scaly area inside the ring, perhaps with a scattering of bumps whose color ranges from red on white skin to reddish, purplish, brown or gray on black and brown skin
  • Slightly raised, expanding rings
  • A round, flat patch of itchy skin
  • Overlapping rings
Talk to your doctor if you have a rash that doesn't begin to improve within two weeks of using an over-the-counter antifungal product. You may need prescription medication.
