Ringworm is a common fungal infection that affects the skin, hair, or nails, characterized by a circular, red, itchy rash with a clearer center, resembling a ring. Despite its name, it is not caused by worms but by dermatophytes, a type of fungus. The infection is contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surfaces. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, either topical or oral, depending on the severity of the infection.
