Ringworm is not a worm but a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. These fungi spread through the outer layer of the skin, hair, and nails. They do not move within the body like parasites; instead, they reproduce and expand locally, causing circular, itchy patches on the skin. The infection can spread to other areas or individuals through direct contact or contaminated surfaces.
