Yes, ringworm can grow as it is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments and can spread rapidly if not treated. The infection typically appears as circular, red, itchy patches on the skin, which can enlarge and spread if the fungus continues to grow. Proper treatment with antifungal medications can help stop the growth and clear the infection.

Where can one get ringworm?

Basically ringworm isn't actually a worm, it is caused by a fungus. The fungi grow in warm, moist areas, e.g locker rooms/swimming pools. Ringworm is contagious and spreads when you have skin-to-skin contact with a person or animal that has it. It can also spread when you share things like towels, clothing, or sports gear. You can also get ringworm by touching an infected dog or cat, although this form of ringworm is not common.
