Ringworm, a fungal infection of the skin, has been recognized for centuries, with historical references dating back to ancient civilizations. The term "ringworm" itself comes from its characteristic ring-shaped rash, and it was documented in medical texts as early as the 1st century AD by Roman physician Aulus Cornelius Celsus. Throughout history, various cultures have noted the condition, but it was not until the 19th century that the causative fungi were identified.
