Ringworm infection is one of the most common infections that can be seen in the world. It is a fungal infection and can affect your scalp, nails, toes, things, neck or any other parts of the body. The name "Tinea" is allotted to this worm and the last name attached to it depends upon the area of attack. "Tinea" is the Latin name of growing worm but actually it is a fungus.

Ringworm infection has its name from the symptom it shows. A ring of blisters is formed. It is red in colour and the skin in between the ring appears to be healthy. There is itching and redness and swelling of the area. And flakes are formed which are used for diagnosis. All these start with a small pimple that later becomes larger and larger leading to scaly patches. Nail ringworm causes total disintegration or chalky nails. These symptoms can be confused with the eczema. Fungus loves to grow in the warm and moist environment. Wearing tight clothes and sweating heavily can lead to this disease.
