Does detergent cause ringworms on the body and buttucks?

No. But eczema can and sometimes (I'd never say it if I hadn't seen it myself) it can resemble ringworms in really strange, severe cases. If you have ringworms, you should search for another cause, but if you are getting red, round, scaly patches after using a certain detergent, you should see a Dr., double check possible causes, and seek treatment. Certain areas of the skin, such as the buttocks, are more sensitive and more prone to rashes.
