It is the general term used for Dermatophytosis, a skin infection caused by the fungi Dermatophytes. It is more commonly referred to as 'ringworm' because of its distinctive red, ring-like rash it can leave on the skin.

The appearance of ringworm differs depending on which body part is affected, it is quite commonly a scaly red, oval or ring shaped patch on the skin. The skin infection spreads from the centre outwards, creating a circular shape. These infected areas are usually itchy. Ringworm can be effectively treated using an antifungal cream.
