Is ringworm similar to fairy rings?
Fungus and Mushrooms are related. Fairy Rings are those ring formations of mushrooms you'll see on lawns. Ringworm (actually a fungus, not a worm at all) is pretty similar in it's formation. You could say yes, they are similar.. except, when you look at ringworm under a microscope, they look oval shaped, not at all like mushrooms. on a side note, black mold (the toxic crap) looks like tiny mushrooms with lonnnng stems :)

What causes sores that look like cigarette burns?
I'm sure there are a number of possibilities, but the two that immediately spring to mind are ringworm and impetigo. For your sake I seriously hope it's not impetigo, as it is a highly contagious and truly disgusting disease. Despite the name, ringworm is not a parasitic worm, but a fungal infection.
