Ring worm is a fungus type of infection which can be easily spread by just physical contac or by sharing objects(like cloth) with an infected person.
It is very common in wrestlers and sports that involve a lot of contact. It has no negative effect on your health; however, highly contagious and should be treated right away since it causes a rash on your skin that rows over time in a radial form if not treated in time and if such rash comes in contact with any hair it will cause it to fall and cause baldness in that area. It can be easily treate by applying cream in the area affected(i recommend ketoconazole) usually disappears 2 or 3 days after applyin cream consistently. It should be noted that the fungus will remain on your blood and rashes will appear periodically, the only way to completly get rid of it is to go to a doctor and get some type of oral medication. Hope this helped you
