Basically ringworm isn't actually a worm, it is caused by a fungus.
The fungi grow in warm, moist areas, e.g locker rooms/swimming pools. Ringworm is contagious and spreads when you have skin-to-skin contact with a person or animal that has it. It can also spread when you share things like towels, clothing, or sports gear. You can also get ringworm by touching an infected dog or cat, although this form of ringworm is not common.
The best way to diagnose ringworm is to visit a medical professional. Ringworm can be diagnosed using a special light or by scraping the affected area.
Not necessarily. Ringworm is an infection caused by one of several different species of fungus and is easily transmissible between humans. Individuals with excellent hygiene who are exposed to the fungus can contract ringworm.
Chickenpox and ringworm are caused by completely different microbes. You can only get ringworm from someone with chickenpox if they also have ringworm.
