Yes, ringworm is contagious and can be spread through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal, as well as through contact with contaminated surfaces, such as towels, clothing, or grooming tools. It can also spread in places where people share communal spaces, like locker rooms or Swimming Pools. Maintaining good hygiene and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent its spread.
