Ring worm tinea?

The medical term for ringworm is "tinea." It was once thought to be caused by a worm, but it is not -- it's a fungus. Doctors add another word to indicate where the fungus is located. Tinea capitis refers to scalp ringworm, tinea corporis to fungus of the body, tinea pedis to fungus of the feet, etc. For more information visit the links provided.
