Ringworm is a very common fungal infection of the skin, hair and nails. Ringworm can occur almost anywhere on the body. Ringworm of the feet is called Athlete's foot, ringworm in the genital area is called Jock Itch. Each location has its own "name". In most cases, it can be treated with over the counter antifungal creams (Go to the "foot section" of any local drugstore and you'll see several products that treat athlete's foot. These will treat many other cases of ringworm as well.)
If a ringworm infection is severe or affects an area that is harder to treat, like the nails, beard area on a man, or scalp, then a course of oral antibiotic is most effective. Ringworm responds well to treatment and can usually be cured within 2 - 4 weeks with proper treatmment.
