Overview

Infections on the body may give rise to typical enlarging raised red rings of ringworm, infection on the skin of the feet may cause athlete's foot and in the groin jock itch. Involvement of the nails is termed onychomycosis, and they may thicken, discolour, and finally crumble or fall off.

History and Symptoms

Symptoms of ringworm include:

  • Itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze.
  • The patches tend to have sharply-defined edges.
  • Red patches are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center. This may look like a ring.
  • If ringworm affects your hair, you will have bald patches.
  • If ringworm affects your nails, they will become discolored, thick, and even crumble.
