癣, 皮肤真菌感染
a contagious fungal infection of the skin or scalp, characterized by circular, red, and itchy rashes with a raised, defined border
Ringworm, despite its name, is not caused by a worm but by a type of fungus. It is a common fungal infection of the skin that causes a red, circular rash with a raised, scaly border. Ringworm can affect any part of the body, including the scalp, body, private area, feet, and nails. It is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or by touching contaminated objects or surfaces. Treatment typically involves antifungal creams or oral medications to clear the infection. Keeping the affected area clean and dry can help prevent the spread of ringworm.
