No, Vaseline does not cause ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection that is spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface. While Vaseline can create a barrier on the skin, it does not promote or prevent fungal infections like ringworm. However, if it traps moisture and dirt, it may create an environment conducive to fungal growth, so proper hygiene is essential.
