Ringworm, a fungal infection primarily affecting the skin, hair, or nails, is typically localized and does not usually become systemic. However, in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions, there is a risk that the infection could spread to deeper tissues or even the bloodstream. In such cases, systemic antifungal treatment may be necessary. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.

Can you go tanning with ringworm?
Yes you can go tanning with ringworm. The bright UV lights damage the ringworm fungus and drys out your skin. This process of quickly drying the skin will actually help get rid of the ringworm. I would wait to apply any topical creams until after you are done tanning because they might irritate your skin when combined with tanning lights. P.S. Don't tell the tanning business that you have ringworm because they might not let you into the beds. (You can trust this answer, I have had ringworm multiple times, it comes with being a wrestler)

is a chest infection systemic infection?
A chest infection, such as pneumonia, primarily affects the lungs and respiratory system, but it can become a systemic infection if the pathogens enter the bloodstream, leading to sepsis.

Therefore, while not inherently systemic, a chest infection has the potential to become one if complications arise.
